Attention all aff members
 
I can't find ammunition anywhere because everyone is buying it up!

I'm looking for the 9mm Winchester value pack (100 rounds) for around $21.00 a box at your local Walmart.


If you find them, but me a box or two. I will send you the funds for the ammo, shipping, and some extra cash for your time! :D

I'm serious too! :D

They don't sell ammo on Ebay. Many people are selling 9mm for double or triple the price because its in demand. Fortunately, Walmart made an executive decision to not increase their ammunition prices.

Yes, we have a WalMart. But, they are not the ones making the ammo.....We have other gun shops in East Texas. :happydance

Gun shops are running low on ammunition, all while, the demand for ammo has increased.

Some places have increased their prices, and even have to put a limit on the amount a customer can purchase.

In Mineola, the owners of a gun shop, East Texas Ammo have their own semi-automatic commercial loaders that will assist in making their own ammunition.

Ammunition manufacturer licensee Paul Carter, says they are having to work long hours to barely meet the demand for ammunition.

"We have people from the metroplex and Louisiana and Oklahoma that come to our shop to buy ammunition and we're scrambling just to find the products to put it together," says Carter.

So this morning I drove to Walmart at 6am and there awaited a mob of ten people, they were searching for ammo too. Well, they charged in before me, and as I was approaching the sporting goods counter they all were walking away. I looked at the shelves and nothing. I then decided to ask the clerk if there's any ammo in the back. He went to check and there was! There were a total on 5 one hundred round boxes of Federal 9mm ammunition. I said I'll buy three (the limit per day). Yahoo! Victory is mine!

No thank you to duty at the Naval Recruit Training Command not as First Class, maybe as a Chief. Not a big fan of snow.

That was the deciding factor. If they would have offered me Orlando NTC. I would have taken those orders. It was then I was trying to get back to Florida but they told me I had to go to GL's first, but they could not guarantee that.

That was back when they had 3 naval boot camps.

Orlando on the East-coast
San Diego on the West-coast
GL's in the Central part of the country.

If I find the value box of 9mm at my Wal Mart the 3 box limit will be bought and put in my ammo cans!!! I also am looking to get some 9mm. I lucked out a week ago and got 3 boxes of 50 rounds of PPU 9mm for $14.95 per box! Sadly 50-100 of that 150 rounds will be gone after my conceal carry class tomorrow.

Waited at Wal Mart for 45 minutes tonight for the Ammo to come in hoping for some 9mm and only shotgun shells came in. Arghhhh!!!

If you really want cheap 9mm I suggest you find out what time your local Wal Mart gets their trucks in an stocks the shelves then go there and wait around for 30 minutes to an hour like the rest of us schmucks!

I don't know about new ammo but there are plenty of spent casings in Juarez. When I used to have to go there on business I would make my companies Mexican employees come pick me up in El Paso. I would only go to Juarez in a car registered in Mexico and driven by a Mexican. Even that was not safe. I was in a constant state of nervousness until I got back across the border. I was not alone though. The 26 year old Mexican woman who I dealt with told me one visit after we had gotten to know each other that she and her husband just went straight home after work and did not go anywhere out of fear for their lives. A terrible way to live but Juarez had the jobs they needed to survive.

I picked up 200 rounds of Winchester 45acp ammo this morning. The mob beat me and bought all the 9mm.
