Academy and Ammo Update (Friday 1/18/13)

**jcole1272** · 01-18-2013, 10:02 AM

Extremely packed this AM at the Academy in Norman. Prices were the same on ammo, but zero 9MM at 8:02 when I arrived. They had 40, 45, 22LR, 308 and 7.62x39 Tula Ammo. The guy behind the counter was pricing a Smith MnP 15-22 for a customer and it scanned $479.99. These have been going up about $10-15 a week or every couple weeks. The Manager when I walked in said that there was a bigger line this AM. Anyone recognize anybody? Any late co-workers to work this AM? ;-))

I was there this morning. Several guys had been there overnight and received bracelets at 6am for the six ARs they received. Academy didn't even bother putting the ammo on the shelves they just left it out on the counter in the back and it was gone in about 30secs.

Those guys are the opposite of any form of prepper, LOL

Not a very diverse crowd. I'm surprised Al Sharpton isn't protesting Academy for only selling to white men.

Q: how much ammo does a prepper need?
A: MOAR

It's reasonably priced. If you want to shoot between now and sanity, without depleting your stash, probably not a bad idea.

Not being much of a prepper I'm shooting out of my stash until further notice, I don't care to fight the crowd for a few boxes. Not when it's so easy to shop powder valley and have them ship to my door.

Have you looked at Powder Valley's website lately? There is no powder in Powder Valley. I wanted to purchase additional powder to reload .410; even the Hodgdon Lil' Gun is sold out.
