“........a man claimed to have visited his local Walmart and noticed the store was “out of almost every kind of ammo.”
LOL.... try shopping on the net and you will find “out of stock” listed enough to make you sick.
I bought a new Remington 870 shotgun on 12-16-2012. I have been researching, searching and shopping almost every day for stuff to modify the gun. It seems as though the entire world is competing with me. “Out of stock-no backorders” was EXTREMELY common.
Oh, and don’t even bother to call a vender, they have quit answering the phones, as well as emails.
Finally, as of yesterday, I now have what I need on order.
If interested, my home defense shotgun is going to be equipped exactly like the one in this video.

I just wrote this and was ready to hit the post button and realized it was you. I'll be more careful in the future.
Last month I bought ammo (shot and slugs)for a Remington 870 12 ga. and 243 ammo for a Remington rifle and 38 special hollow point ammo for two handguns, from CheaperThanDirt and it was promptly sent. Now, you can't get it.
About three weeks ago, bought a Ruger 25 magazine for Ruger 22 LR and it was delivered soon after I ordered it.
Just bought yesterday, 3 boxes of 50 each, 22 LR hollow points from Cabela’s to be delivered in one or two weeks.
Earlier this week bought a Ruger 22 LR from Kentucky Gun Co.. They had it in stock and will get here in a week or two due to their backlog of orders.
I have checked every gun co. I could find on the web and checked them every single day for over a week until one would get in what I wanted.
I can tell you from this experience of daily checking all these companies, there is not much left on the net now.
It's going to take some time for restocking if it ever happens. It has never been like this.
