Cabela's restock?

[walt o]

Sorry you are toooo late for Cabelas

The Hammond Cabelas literally removed the entire handgun ammo isle and all the shelves. I'm not expecting them to restock anytime soon.

Strategy to get ammo

Sorry if this is the wrong spot for this MOD's.
Just wondering if anyone's been to Cabela's since the "end of times", and if re-stocking has begun? In particular typical handgun ammo, 9mm, .380, as well as firearms?

Last time we had an ammo shortage there were 3 pieces of advice:

• Call them and ask if they have what you want in stock, and if no
• Ask them when day/time they receive their ammo, then
• Get there early that day and by what you can

Unless you are extremely lucky, posting here will get you empty pockets unless things change soon, which is not likely.

Everytime I hear there is no ammo, I have a strong craving to top off my supplies.

I was in Cabelas about a week ago. I took a number, waited for about 30 minutes, asked if I could put an order in for a particular firearm. I waited half an hour to get told "no, they cannot put in any special orders" due to high demand.

Got the go ahead a few months back to get a new 9mm but held off because 9mm ammo was not to be found; at a reasonable price. Once the shelves get filled, I may reconsider a new handgun.

Is this the way we should be thinking? If there is no ammo for it, you should be able to buy the gun for less.

Just a thought.

People are buying anything that isn't nailed down. They want safety and security and they want it NOW.

i have talked with company reps and they stated that it will be 6-8 weeks befor they may be able to catch up on back orders on most hand guns and start shipping to retail outlets.

Sounds like retailers may have a much better inventory on hand for the election freak-out buying frenzy.

The local Academy has shot gun shells, no pistol ammo, no 5.56. The did have some hunting rifle loads, interestingly they had a ton of 243 .

I was at Cabelas Noblesville today and all the ammo (except shotgun) was on an end cap. And most of it was .22

Have been hitting my local Cabelas regularly as they completely stopped answering the phone at the gun dept.
Did score 1k federal 223 10-15 days ago for $8/20 and 5k CCI 450 SM/RFL at $4/1k and they had 1k left after me. Absolutely no powder what so ever. Plenty of brass and bullets though.

Can still easily find bulk 9mm and 224 bullets and brass on line at decent prices and bought a bunch just in case.
Swore BAMG after the last panic I would NEVER again worry about mags, ammo or reloading components. Glad I did what I did.

I feel this time things are different and this is going to be much longer term then last time.

How was the handgun inventory, or pretty much all wiped?

Stopped at Kempf's in Michigan City. Plenty of powder in stock along with reloading supplies on hand. Bought what I had been looking for, without having to put it on back order.
