I was up at Northeast Trading the other day and they had ALOT of ammo in stock. By far the largest selection I have seen in a long time.
I was in Framingham two nights ago, they had 1 box of white box .45 cal.
There were two guys that had already been waiting about 10 minutes that had asked FIVE different people for help. I waited with them for about 5 minutes, the box of .45 just calling to me, so I go over to the phone, pick it up, use the in-store paging system and call an associate to sporting goods for customer help.
About 2 minutes later a "happy smiley" (not) Wal Mart troll shows up asks how he can help, we tell him we want ammo, he looks at us and goes, "I don't have a key, you have to wait for somebody with a key". So, I ask him to get somebody with a key, he looks at me, takes off, totally disappears, never to be seen again.
Wait around another 10 minutes, nobody ever shows up, still waiting, finally another troll shows up, this one barely speaks English and also does not have a key, so I ask him to call somebody that does, he ignores me..
Wait around another 10 minutes, start wandering the store, looking for somebody, can't find anyone, keep circling back to sporting goods, it's deserted, nobody around except the non english speaker. Circle back around, finally get fed up, I love getting the good deal on ammo but the $5 dollar savings isn't worth 30+ minutes of my time, so I left.
Noticed on the way out, somehow the store was REALLY quiet, the front of the store was loaded with employees standing around talking to each other, leaning on counters, etc... Makes me wondering who is managing that store.
Never got the ammo but I did almost break the glass and help myself.
Apparently one of the gun shops in the area would simply scout out when the ammo would be coming in, rush in and grab it all. Then proceed to mark up the price and resell it. That is some slimy dealings
Went to my local wally world after work tonight to investigate. It had been a while since I was in that section but they had ammo what they had in stock was 22 357 one box of 223 and a S ton of 12 gauge stuff. made me sad cuz the 9mm stuff was half the price of what i spend at my local gun store. probably why it was all gone
