I have checked several Walmarts in NC and have not found them. Where are they storing them? I would imagine they are too big for the ammo glass case.

My local WM keeps one or two in the behind the locked glass in the isle(bottom shelf, PITA to get out), but if they have more they keep them locked under the counter(can't be seen). Price was $149, now it's $159.

ETA: The three other WMs within an hour drive don't have these, or ARs for that matter.

$129 is a great price. As stated before my local WM is at $159 now, they were $149. Walmarts are reseting their "modulars" now. This means they are changing out for the old and in for the new. Some of these new things will may be normal stock.

Brownells had then for $135 last week ($149.99 sale minus 10% off coupon located in the Industry Forum).

Why can't all Wal-Mart's be the same. I would fall over if my Wal-Mart even had ammo besides 12 gauge. I am in Southeastern PA

SGammo had them as low as $143 a can before shipping. Came to 152 a can delivered. I bought several at that price just a few weeks ago.

This is a tag. I can't find these suckers at any local walmarts that have ammo, glass case or full counter.

I bought several of the ammo cans from the local Walmart stores here right before they went up to $159 - this is 420 rounds of the M855 ball - green tip Federal, boxed stripper clips. It's a good deal.

Never seen the cans at the local Walmart.
But I did get a can of Fed Xm855 at PSA in Okatie yesterday for 149.99 plus tax.

They mention on their site that some items available in-store may not be available online.

Thanks for the SKU info, though, I just want to be able to give em an exact number when I ask if they can order it, just so there's no mistakes about what gets ordered.

What flavor of Fed is this? The 'tactical' black box stuff? Or the 'bulk pack 100 rounds'? Or something different?

You can take your walmart receipt to gander mtn and make them match it.

Yes it does, but he asked what kind of ammo WM was selling. Since WM doesn't post their ammo on their wm.compage, I found a pic from another site. Simple enough.

Oh, and no need to SHOUT.

I wish my walmart had these for that price. 9mm and 223/5,56 is always sold out =[
BTW if you have a Dick's sporting goods in your area they sell the can for 179.99 and they will match brick and mortar store prices. i.e walmart. I say this b/c I run the outdoor deptmartment of a Dick's here in TX

bmr4106 [Member]

PSA has plenty(right now) of these. I was in their Columbia store Thursday and bought two cans for $149.99 each and they had them stacked 5 deep next to the check out counter. The counter guy said they would be a price increase of $10 soon.

SLC Walmart has them around. Three different Walmarts have them at $149.00 and they are stacked high and deep.

I've seen them in only two stores in the Houston area. Of course they're always out.
Most of the stores do not carry the M855 cans.

Academy has had some lately but they want $180.00

There is a better chance of Obama giving me free ammo, then any Walmart in CT carrying this deal.

Walmart in Franklin TN carries them for $159. They were out of stock. Guy said they sell out soon after they come in.

Tried that today actually, the lady told me they don't order anything, they just take what corporate sends them. I know this is BS and the Wal-Mart store manager has a fair amount of control over a certain percentage of the SKUs carried in the store so he/she can tailor it to better match the demand of the local populace, and that they could order if they wanted to. Keeping in mind, however, that this is also the store where I had to roam around for 10 minutes just looking for an employee to help me get into the case for some .22LR, and (politely, though by the time I had to do it multiple times this took some effort) asked two different people if they could please page someone to sporting goods with the key when the ones I found were somewhere else in the store, I figured I would not try to argue the point, opting instead to convince myself things aren't really going in the toilet and enjoy the rest of my day.

I have heard of other people doing so with no problems, though. I don't mean to be blanket critical of all Wal-Mart employees, because that's not fair, but the point is, it's a crapshoot.

None of the three WalMarts close to me carry it. Our local Bass Pro Shop has it stacked for $179.

My WM had them on top of their shelves for $159. I believe the only reason they weren't cleaned out in my area was that most people don't look up and can't reach that high. They had about 25 boxes on Sunday, and a few days later were down to 2 or 3.

Sgtmack122 [Member]

4/3/2012 8:19:44 PM

I wish my Wal-Mart had them for $129.00. I get a 10% discount.

We don't have cans at all. The most I've seen of .223 is 5 boxes of Tula in the case with the handgun ammo. My Wally Worlds suck.

That is not as true as it used to be. I was with them for 10 years and my wife still works there. She has had the ability to "special order" anything removed. In the past three years, along with massive staff reductions, they have removed the ability of department managers to order stock. Where sporting goods once had a single dedicated department manager, most are now covering Auto and Lawn & Garden and sometimes toys. To do this, they cannot have them dealing with anything more than scanning and reporting stock levels.. The cost of cheap is reduced service...
