I posted a little note to myself on the 'fridge that read "Q3131A Bass Pro/August". My wife saw it and said "Almost time for our annual ammo trip?" I just looked at her and smiled. She just paid off all the credit cards. I think it's about time to charge them back up.

Renee, check out the Hometown-Texas forum but I believe somebody there mentioned the Katy store will be running the same sale on August 21st. |

No problem Griz, glad they went to a good home :D The guy behind the counter cost me ten minutes trying to put too many boxes into "double bags" he had about 30+ boxes in before I stopped him and picket it up. The handles stretched and started to fail. Then he says "why don't you just leave it in the basket and carry it out that way? I asked him if I could keep the basket? "uhhh . . . .no." Me: "Then what do I do with it when I get home?" Him: Blank stare. I finally had to take over. Asked him to hold the (single) bag while I put in about 10-15 boxes per. Turns out he didn't want to go through the hassle of putting purple tape around that many handles. Some people will double their work in an effort to do less  |

Afternoon all
The sale is going on in my area in a couple of weeks, Auburn Hill Mi, they say Detroit in the add, however it’s not. The ammo everyone is buying how does this shoot from a Bushmaster A2 with 20" barrel? I was under the impression that this ammo was 55grsin and I should stick to 62 grain for the barrel length. Is this just too good of a deal to pass up on? |

If I go in and buy 50+ boxes, I will bring my own 50cal ammo can.

Barrel length has little to do with how well a certain weight of bullet will shoot... now barrel twist will affect that. 55gr will work just fine in barrels from 1/12 to 1/7. Most Bushmaster barrels are 1/9. As for being a good deal, it is a very good deal for what is essentially M193 military ammo. |

Does anyone have a scanned copy of their reciept? Or someplace where I can print out the sale ad with the prices? Sports Authority here will price match and they are a lot closer then the nearest Bass Pro Shops. With my luck they will have 5 boxes.
 and I'll go to BPS anyway. |

Leave some for me. How crazy is Bass Pro on the first day of the sale (Saturday)? Gonna be my first, but last purchase from them during the sales. I hear they will issue rain checks. How long are the rain checks good for?  Colt_SBR |

I picked up a rain check today for 50 boxes. They said they would call when it was in. The manager said they were backordered for 2500 cases.

Hehe, I hope you mean 2500 boxes, not cases of 1,000 rounds ea. that they're never going to fill.  I am going to call early tomorrow morning before I make the drive. Also going to check Galyans too. Apparently this stuff is really popular, so I might as well get a piece of the action even tho I already have about 5000rd of M855 and M193. I will post new quantities from the Midwest locations if I find out. If they are out, will they issue a raincheck over the phone or do I have to drive to the store (100+ miles) to get one? |

I actually picked mine up last year near the end of the sale. I called before making the trip to Orlando to make sure they still had some cases left. When I got there, there were 11 cases left. At that time, I was the only one there buying Q3131A. In addition to the 6 cases I left behind, there were hundreds of 20 round boxes set up in a display. I've never had any experiences with their rain checks. |

Went to the Nashville BPS this week. I was going to buy 1,000 rounds of Q3131A.
They'd only let me buy 10 boxes at the $2.88 price. They said anything more than 10 boxes was regular price. I said no thanks. |

I have had nothing but good experience with the Bass Pro rain check system. When they had WWB 9mm on sale for 3.99 a box, I went in for 1000 rounds. They were sold out within the first 4 hours of the sale! They issued me a raincheck and I got a call 2-3 weeks later saying that my ammo was waiting. This was the Maryland store, which is fairly new, but I'm guessing that it will be similar whereever the location.

I drove 55 miles up to the store south of Baltimore MD. Nice place. They had about 40 cases on the shelf and I took 3 out to the car. Then went in to browse everything, I really liked the huge fish tank. When I came around to the gun/ammo area again, I picked up another case of Q3131a.
I was thinking of getting them all and selling them at the next gunshow for something like 170 a case. Could have made a nice profit. |

Well, I just got back from BPS in Memphis, and all they had was about 8 or 10 boxes of Q3131A. A couple looked like they had been opened, so I picked up a whole 5 boxes for 2.88 each. Got some other stuff, too, so it wasn't a total wash.

I would call first. If you give them the stock number which is 38-894-450-03 and they can tell you how much they still have left in stock. I asked for 2 cases and he could only produce one unopened case, the other he had to build from the shelf and there wasn't a lot left on the shelf. Maybe they'll get more in or they can issue a raincheck but that a hard drive from KC just to get a raincheck. |

You know you can use the "SOLD OUT" to your advantage. Go ahead and get a rain check that you can use up until 31 Dec 04. Check back and buy your ammo when they finally get it in before the end of the sale so you can save your rain check for later in the year. You can restock your supply in Dec when the ammo is usually at regular price. There's nothing wrong with using it to your advantage.

I bought a case Saturday at the Springfield store and paid 199.00. Did I get screwed? I'm going back tomorrow to find out what's up. There was no sign up and I had to walk around just to find where it was. Got to the register and was a little shocked to find out it was 200.00
I even applied to work there earlier today. (figured a employee discount might make it worthwhile) yakrat101 |

I had the same issue here when the cashier scanned the case bar code. She had to scan the individual 20 rd box to get the sale price. Just save the receipt and sale ad and they will refund you the difference.

Yep, me too. I have an 8 foot long receipt for my 4 cases :) The guys in line behind me just kind of stared in awe as the receipt was shooting out of the register and curling up on the floor, then one of them said "I'm glad I don't live near you" :) |

You must have been ahead of me, I got there around 6pm and got the last unbroken case. Jeff said there were only boxes left. As others have said, when they scan the case, the price is much higher. They owe you more than $55. |

my report was as of noon on the 11th. the only remaining stock was on an end cap with a display of the other white box stuff. Good news was that they had plenty. I "borrowed" a green hand basket to get mine home as I am sure that the sack they loaded my case up in would have burst if i carried it.
BTW, the price was $144 + tax or $2.88 a box. |

glock23c: I went to the Memphis BP last night and was just flat out disgusted. No Q3131A ammo to be had anywhere in the store, and they said they didn't offer rain checks on ammo. I was really pissed because it is a 75-mile drive to BP from my home. Not to mention the Rocky boots that I bought last year for $120 have been marked down to $69. Grrrr... |

Why do they have a different rain check policy than their other stores?
I got one for 2 cases at the Charlotte NC store, they said they would call when it was in. Since it is an hour drive, they also said I had until the end of December to use it.I think I would put a little pressure them to explain why the operate differently on that policy SP...!!! |

You are right SS. I should have gone and asked someone of higher authority instead of the high school kid that told me I couldn't get a rain check. I may go back up there before the sale ends, but it ends on Sunday. You can bet I'll call before I drive up there again!
