I have no doubt the resellers are hitting it hard. The other week a gun counter guy at Academy said some lady came in and bought up 30+ boxes of .22 LR to resell.
Isn’t there a 3 box limit

I would like to Academy change the times they put the ammunition on the shelves
Yes, but I see people bring their whole family in there and they all get the max. Some even make it in twice and just go to another register. I'm honestly surprised there hasn't been any robberies or other altercations in the news.Isn’t there a 3 box limit
Smh all I want is some 308/7.62.
But when I worked at gander during the 2013 panic people would do the same shit with their family and friends with them.
Talked to the guy at the Academy by the house today. They’re getting ammo in. 5.56, 9mm, 7.62X39, most of the popular calibers. But he said that the same group of guys are lined up at the door every truck day. I’m sure they are the ones gouging on gunbroker. I know it’s hard, especially if you are low or out of ammo, but I sure wish people would stop paying these prices. There is a shortage, but it’s not near as bad as we think because the same guys are lining up and taking it all to sell at gun shows and auction sites. The only ammo I have bought since March, has been a spam can of 7.62X54R that I paid $99 for (helluva deal if you ask me) and some shotgun shells. I still shoot my pistols 2X a week, because I bought tons of it when it was cheap and plentiful. I’m guessing prices will never be back where they were!!

Why don't these damn stores just load the shelves at random times during the day. Especially if the "guy" is aware of the problem. The neck beards will stop showing up in a week or two once the hole dries up...Talked to the guy at the Academy by the house today.

Idk where in Texas you are at, but Gibsons in Weatherford has alot of 6mm creedmoor in stockWhy don't these damn stores just load the shelves at random times during the day.

With that being said, I have been the guy at the store at open to load up. Not for resell but personal stock. This will be I think my 3rd ammo shortage. I am good. The only thing I wish I would have done was go deeper on reloading supplies. Also 6mm creedmoor, I
t had seemed to avoid the price hike until a couple weeks ago.
If you have been here for a couple years and been into guns longer and you are out of ammo now that is your fault. If you are new to guns in probably the last 5 or 6 years that sucks for you. The ship of "buy it cheap and stack it deep" has sailed.
Some more than me could muse about sub $5 550 bulk packs of. 22lr and surplus 7.62 and x39 and x54r that was dirt cheep and as much as you could carry.

I kinda got green listening to all the Academy counter kids talking about the ammo they had stashed away in back.
Then I realized they have to put up with this shit day in day out. I figure they earned it.
