.22 ammo

[ejevans45]

So I went to Bass Pro today to pick up some .22 ammo and the guy behind the counter tells me to get it while I can because they are going to stop making .22 ammo. I tell him there is no way they will stop making the ammo due to all of the firearms in the market that take the round. He says that the ammo makers and firearms manufacturers are creating a new round and want you to buy that so they aren't going to make .22 LR any more and force you to buy conversion barrels for your current guns. I looked at him and said I don't believe you. He just walked away.
What the hell???

It's on the internet. it has to be true. Did you ask him if he was a french model ?

Im sure that the Anmo manufacturers discuss their future plans with some dude that works at Bass Pro. Lol

 

[whitetailbowhunter]

not a chance.

Well, you made 50....

 

[jcwit]

YUP! That's why the Ammo Manufactures still load and sell 30/30 and 30 Cal. Winchester Special.

Took him 3.5 years, I don't think he was rushing to get to the classifieds, but ok.

Are you sharing the story out of disbelief that you would be told such a thing, or because you want to check the accuracy?

The answer will greatly affect my sarcastic mocking.

I am just in disbelief that someone would spread such an obviously false tale. There are people that go to gun stores to get their info and if these are the kind of things people are being told it's no wonder the country is circling the drain.

Not all gun salesman are not like that, customers come in with tales also. In the past two days I have heard that the lifetime license is going away by three customers, two customers said they don't need a license to carry loaded in their vehicles in Indiana ( said it was ok sense this past June) and three who said they could not file for their ltch because of the government shut down. Yes I did let them know they were wrong and yes I know about the transport law in effect last June.

Stupid is everywhere.

Maybe the clerk was trying to be funny and failed?

22 ammo is in my belief at its peak in demand why in the world would someone quit making a product everyone wants. Some people are so full of it. I overheard someone say that during the government shutdown they were going to stop selling ammo lol. When someone says something like that I find a new place to shop.

That's the way it sounds to me too. The clerk was being a .22 ammo panic jokester.

yep .22lr is going away. Look they have .22mag and .17hmr. Did that stop it? Nope. 7.62x54r has been in service since 1891. One of the few rimmed rounds left that are active and it's still going. I think .22 is here to stay too.
