Academy Sports + Outdoor Rationing Ammo, Handguns, Rifles and Rifle Mags

Robert Farago - comments No comments

I’ve pulled the Geico firearms-related cancellation story; it didn’t pan out. Meanwhile, we’ve been holding off on this post until we had evidence. And here it is. Academy Sports + Outdoors is now rationing ammunition, rifles, handguns and rifle magazines. (MSR magazines are no longer available online.) A helpful customer service rep confirms that the policy is in place “until further notice.” Which will be a while; there’s no end in sight to the post-Sandy Hook sales surge.

  1. I for one appreciate the Academy Sports and Outdoors policy. I certainly prefer it to other stores and sites where you either do not know what days deliveries occur and/or they jack up the price. Unlike some other sites and stores, they have kept prices at close to old levels and you know when the deliveries occur so you know which mornings to go and see what is available. Just this morning I went to AS&O and bought a brick of Winchester 22LR, 525 rounds for $21.99. Also a Remington bulk box of 250 rds of 45ACP for $108. That is 4.2 cents per round for 22LR and 43 cents per round for 45 ACP. Try to find that price online somewhere today. Certainly they have built loyalty with me, as I had not used them previously but now buy my guns there and other outdoor and sport needs. Cheaper Than Dirt and Target Sports USA will never see another dime of my money.

  3. This is old news and you know the saying, “Bad news is never ‘good’ unless it gets WORSE.”

    In the wake of the Orlando “False Flag,” you remember, the CIA-trained, father-son shooting team in an Orlando Gay Bar. Academy sports folds like a reclining lawn chair. Not only did the coward pull ARs, they created a database to report to the government. Not a company to support with your business.
