Old Mother Hubbard

Went looking for .224 bullets and small rifle primers at Sportsman's Warehouse in Burlington yesterday, but when I got there the cupboards were bare. I also needed a .223 shell holder and none of those in the area.. I just went ahead and ordered everything I needed from Midway. The only one I haven't had any problems with is BDM. I called about another .22 rimfire Mag for my AR and the lady was suprised I only wanted one...I had it in three days.

Yeah, I went into Sportsman's and it looked like someone stole their handguns! Just a few expensive guns left.

The mad dash is on!!!

I am not starting a rumor but I don't think Sportsmans will be around after the first of the year. I believe the reason they have bare shelves is a money thing not a product availability thing.

Wow, really? I wouldn't have guessed it actually... is that a solid rumor?

 

[Capn Jack]

Anyone know which group owns them? That may be a clue. Be a shame to loose such a nice looking store. They seemed to be about the only place I could walk in and buy 7.62X39 brass even if it was Winchester.

Nice.

I'd like to know how solid this non-rumor is too...

 

[Capn Jack]

Well I guess this says it all...

Bummer....Jack

 

[Just Jim]

Nobody who owns a business would let their shelves get so empty unless they were about to fold. I heard they tried to borrow money from a Canadian company to restock. Must not have been able too.

Credit is hard to get boys and we ain't seen the last of this problem.
