Academy ammo

[Southpaw]

So we had some time this morning. I was kind of wondering since there has been lots of reports about both Academy and Cabela & Co having stock. Hit the nearest Academy at around 1000 and they had the quite a few of 7.62x39 in both the 20 round boxes of the laquer coated/Brown Bear version and the 40 round Tulammo packs. There was also more then a few Tulammo .223 20 round boxes. That was about it.

Are all the Academy's limiting ammo to 3 boxes of any kind a day?

Went to The Gun Zone in Mesquite today. 3 20 count boxes of 223 for $1.00 a round. Not much ammo but tons of guns, mags, 40 and 50 round drums and lots of other gun stuff.

sales man said only 2 boxes of ammo per person, how many do you want. I said 3 boxes and that's what he sold me.

Yes, that has been the norm.

Anyone seen any 5.7x28 at DFW area stores? I know, I know, I'll put the crack pipe (cigar) down now... LOL

I'm looking for this as well. Just got a Ruger 57 2 weeks ago and only have 400 rounds. Don't want to shoot it until I have at least 1k

I've seen some in Austin area stores. No idea what they were asking but their steady increases in price across the board are not encouraging.

Are those guys a good distributor? They seem to have lots of things in stock at some not so scary pricing.

Probably not.

Edit: Damn, check this one out:

On top of this below, their inventory is not live, unless of course they really have 11,000 boxes of 5.7 in stock.
Even in regular times, I never order from places who inventory isn't live.

Those two do not go hand in hand. Not in these times. Stay away.

Thank you. That's why I asked instead of ordering. I was in a conference call while I was shopping and didn't want to order from them without some feedback from the forum.

Well I'm glad that y'all stepped in. I had not looked into whether they were legit or not (my bad). I just was browsing and saw them pop up. Thank you for heading off what could have been a disastrous suggestion

The state of Texas charged him with theft on Dec 2nd 2020. Guess he's not quite as good at litigation as he initially thought.

ETA: The parent company of Vortex Optics filed suit on him 10 days ago too.

OK, this vendor appears to be someone no one here should do business with.

I'd like to ask everyone who has posted a link to them to go back and edit their post to delete the link. If anyone needs help with that, PM me.

I'm sure you'd all prefer if you didn't publish links to disreputable businesses. Let's help our fellow TGTers avoid accidentally clicking on something they'll regret.

Also, any thoughts on the subject are welcome, either here or via PM.

Sorry for posting a dirtbag link, was not my intention. I deleted the link, but maybe keep the company name in case others come across them they will know.

 

[benenglish]

maybe keep the company name

Oh, I'm definitely leaving up the posts that ID the company and their practices.
