Shawn Knight Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 (edited) The reloading component section at the Albuquerque Sportsman's Warehouse!!! HOLY F@#$ING SH!T !!! They told me they had a $150,000 backorder. I don't think that buys very much in today's market! Oh yeah... They didn't have any brass except for WSSM and 50BMG...

SiG Lady Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I can't believe it either. You should see the cupboard-is-bare look on the shelves around HERE! Same story. I've been groveling and wheeling/dealing for a few primers here, some reloaded 9mm there, and god knows what all that's not available over the counter any more. I'm angry about it one minute and scared the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimel Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Spokane Sportsman's Warehouse looks the same. Although the gun counter was well stocked and devoid of customers. ALBQ has more powder than Spokane does from the looks of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulture Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Sportsmans warehouse are closing up business. It has been aledged that the owner is heavily in debt and is closing most stores. All of them in MN look like that and no more stuff is comming in. That sucks to because that was my favorite store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 The sports here looks the same....but then again it has always had Jack for reloading, other than powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Knight Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 (edited) On the brighter side I did find a little shop in Socorro where I walked away with about 2000 9mm, 1000 45acp, and about 500 40SW once fired for 60$ Edited April 2, 2009 by Shawn Knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.Hayden Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 We went to the Mesa store last week... dismal suplpies of guns and reloading, bullets.. nothing like in the past. I think the big pegboard rack in the back had 5-6 guns on it... total, maybe 4 in the glass case. Reloading.. almost nothing for the popular calibers.. I think they had 22 short and 22 short blanks! Decent shotgun shells still.. even some on sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvb Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 bullets I ordered back in mid Nov. shipped this week! Woohoo! only tracking numbers show they were shipped to my old address in another state, Boohoo! keeping fingers crossed USPS will correctly fwd the two 65lb boxes. (and yes, my invoice had my new address, the vendor's database must be screwy). -rvb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiganShootist Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 My local "large box" sporting goods store put a new batch of Federal Match Large Pistol primers on the shelf.. but the are asking $53.95 a thou. I turned up my nose... but may be sorry some day. Who knows how high stuff will go. They also now have WWB ammo at $39.95 for 9 mm. Nice huh???

Odie Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I scored about 8k Federal Small Pistol Magnum and Small Pistol Magnum Match the other day at Gander Mountain. Paid $3.99 per 100. Just bit my lip, wrote the check and considered myself lucky to lay hands on some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
