Name an irrational fear


Recommended Posts

I cecked the ammo engines last night,

 

Right now, my 'irrational' fear is that .22LR ammo availability and (bulk) pricing will never return to what it once was.  At least I hope that turns out to be an irrational fear.

 

I checked the ammo engines last night, seems to be plenty of .22 out there, still somewhat high but prices way down and falling

That is good but until I can walk into basically any, local Walmart location or LGS and see multiple 550 round bulk boxes of Federal, Winchester and Remington .22LR on the shelf - with none of them priced above $20 - I won't consider things to be anywhere near 'back to normal' (heck, I remember at least some of them being $15 and change before the last ammo scare.)  Still, it is good to know that things might at least be slowly heading that direction.

 

I know Walmart isn't the 'be all and end all' of ammo supplies but I do think that their shelves being fully stocked is a good indicator of a 'normal' ammo situation.

Someone must be stealin' all the .22s in W. TN. Hasn't been none in a long while 'round here unless you go stand in line Thurs morin' for GOS to open up and race to the back for a 1 box maximum or figger out when the Evil Empire truck will arrive and wait on'm to put it out and still can only get 1 bulk box or 3 100 rd boxes. No one seems to know "when" that truck will arrive. Somethin' ain't jivin' over this way, that's for sure.

Same in my area. There are still about a dozen people buying all the .22 when it comes in at the various ammo outlets. It seems to be a real business for them now. I assume they don't have jobs and this is their source of income since they are able to be at these locations at odd hours. This is according to associates I have spoken to at several stores.
