The Ruger 10/22 has been in production for over 50 years? I fail to see the correlation to today's problems.

Yep but now you also have all types of .22 auto loader rifles that shoot ammo up quickly.

AR type look a like guns that shoot .22 and even guns that look like AK's that show .22 LR.

Yes, but they have been around a long time, the .22 shortage happened in a very short time.

It all started January 2013. after the December 12 Sandy Hook thing. And while it is seems to be regional, and variable, I can guarantee you cannot go to any wal mart in my area and buy .22LR rimfire except for a few minutes in the morning when it is set out on the shelf. poof! gone!

I saw 22 shot shells at wally wold today 7/5 first time ever in a long time I SEEN any 22 there!!!

It started here in 2009, the home center I was the GM for sold ammo and we could order all we wanted but it rarely ever shipped. The number of back orders was astounding.

Agreed, dandy hook effectively ended 22lr availability in my area.

Here, you have to talk to the Walmart stocking folk to find out what day of the week it usually shows up and then be there when the doors open. They will try to spread it out to those who are there at opening rather run let one guy hog it all. Crazy really.

The last one I asked just a couple of weeks ago said it was different days. Not something you can count on. He said be here before 7:00am each day of the week to see what day it is put out.

Yep that's why I said usually. If you are lucky you might be able to rule out a few days of the week. Ask the guy how long he has worked there before popping the big question.

I pressed him but he stuck to his story about different days of the week. He was an older fellow about my age.
