.22LR On the Walmart Shelf!

[Bapak2ja]

Yes it was! It was right there on the shelf a big as a pimple on cheerleader's nose! A 1,000-round box of Winchester M22!

I was so shocked I nearly walked on by in disbelief.

"That can't be right!" I thought. "No way there's a box of .22LR on the shelf at 07:45hrs. Not at Walmart."

But I did a double take, and sure enough, there it was. I looked around and there was the clerk taking inventory at the end of aisle, and he even had the key to ammo cabinet. I checked for other calibers, but there was no 9mm. Only .357, .40 (all WWB) and some .22Mag. Even some Tula .380—lots of this.

So, I finally scored some .22LR, just had to drive >1,000 miles to Pensacola, FL via Easton, Maryland) to find it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... Rub it in. On a positive side, I did score some .45 at Wallyworld the other day but when I went back they tricked me. Their shelves were full, but it was all 12 gauge, 10 gauge, .410, and a tone of rifle cartridges. Good for those looking for 5.56 or 7.62, but not so much for those of us who want food for the pistolas.

Cool story

If you don't mind me asking... How much did that box set you back? I'm trying to judge what the new market is going to be like, but I have yet to see it on the shelf anywhere.

I was in the greenfield walmart today. Tons of all calibers except .22 but they have everything else

Fear not, you can backorder a 1400 can for $59 at Midway. Just beware of multiple smaller items per my post:

Looks like the crisis is about to come to an end and they are finally truly getting caught up on inventory (in which case it might behoove you to wait a month and get the exact ammo you want, without having to backorder).

I got lucky last week too at the WM on 86th....1000 round M-22 box for $49.99.

 

[IndyGlockMan]

the winchester M-22 is becoming more available at Wal-mart.
A friend of mine scored a box last week at the store in Seymour on SR50 & i65

Same price I paid early this year (I think February). At least the price isn't going up.

Glad to see the .22LR is making its way to the shelf across the state, and that prices are staying reasonable. Now, if I could just find some 9mm on the shelf . . .

My local WalMart has a plethora of ammo on the shelf today, anything from bulk 9mm an 40S&W to Privi brass cased 223. But still no 22lr. I would love to get my hands on one of those boxes of M22. All the times back when before all this started I walked past them on the shelf not thinking anything of it. Good score OP, wish the rest of us luck .

Walmart on Veterans Memorial in Lafayette had .22 Rem Subsonics and .22 shorts today. Price was "ok" at 3.97/50 for the subs.

 

[mike4sigs]

Walmart in Bluffton had a nice selection of ammo , except 22's ! !

Walmarts near me seem to have plenty of Federal 9mm. I'm hoping the 100 packs, and the WWB 9mm start coming back as it is a bit cheaper than the Federal.
