Title: Got some news from a family member about the ammo shortage
Post by: Intercooler on June 24 2013 04:58:07 PM MDT
      He works at ATK (Federal, CCI, American Eagle, etc...) and although they have been working 24/7 they are catching up  ;) Also they raised the amount of family ammo per year from $1500 to $2000 and we can place an order the next offering. Not good for my wallet though  :o

Yes the shortage will get less and less as time goes on!  :-[

"Catching Up" could still easily mean months to go before any product is readily available on shelves that isn't sold out in a very quick amount of time.

But, still good to hear. 8)

Exactly. Just like we may put an order in for 10 items and get 1 or none. Just have to see if they get an over-run.

I talked to the Sporting Goods Gal at our local WalMart
She said they get ammo a couple times a week
Only thing is....They (the WalMart Staff) get first stab at it
Hopefully they start getting more and more in soon

I have seen this problem at other retail sporting goods stores.

Years ago during the Clinton scare I ordered some Glock 23 magazines from a major Guns and ammo supply place out this way. I ended up only getting one mag. I had a buddy that worked there and he told me there was no doubt that some of the employees took the rest of the mags for themselves. They probably got them on their store employee discount as well.
