IIRC, the original report was from someone who overheard a clerk attempting to order more and being told by corporate that they were not accepting any more orders for ammo.

Not that they were out, but that they wouldn’t be getting any.

Perhaps, but I suspect an unknowledgeable clerk misunderstood what corporate head office stated. I’m in retail and I can tell you, from experience, what cones fro. Corporate is often misunderstood.

It’s good to getvob top of it and hold Wal-Mart accountable nevertheless.

Didn’t pass the smell test. All ordering at Walmart is done by computer, not by phone.

And this afternoon at about 1PM I was told to my face by the elderly Wal-Mart sporting goods clerk that ammo was "on hold" and wasn't being resupplied. This is consistent with not accepting any more orders for ammo, computerized replenishment or not.

Cuz theyz all baud up.

I didn’t worry as I have ample supplies. Still, I picked up some stray boxes of steel cased .308 and a couple bricks of .45.

4 years ago I had to go to gun shop in Hollister just to get ammo and all they had was S&W 230grain JHP .45.

Didn’t cost much more per round than full metal jacket 45 so bought 125 rounds.

Well, maybe it did cost more than full metal jackets but hell, when you been walking through the desert for 30 days crackers taste like full on Prime Rib.

If I'm not mistaken, no one does ordering at a Walmart store. Whenever an item is scanned and sold, it is reordered automatically. Individual stores don't even control their own thermostats.

The employee at a nearby Wally World said that the distributors were reluctant to take possession of ammo until they found out what Omega was going to do.

They didn't want to be stuck with inventory they couldn't sell.
