I thought Dick's stopped selling all guns????

3 gun shops by me just closed. niagara gun range, buffalo gun center, and gander outdoors is moving. There’s still a few by me and I hope they grow. The remaining ones are pretty small and lack inventory of anything good. I went to Johnson country store not too long ago and my tackle box had more fishing gear and my gun locker had more ammo then their entire store. It was sad actually.

This discussion (argument?) has me wondering. Maybe it would be a good business venture to have an LAS that sells nothing but ammo and reloading components. No guns. All capital goes into bulk ammo and reloading components. Of course you could still sell the 20, 50 and 100 round boxes but you also have alot of bulk ammo on hand. Of course both the ammo and reloading components would be for more common calibers and you could keep a few oddball calibers onhand.

I realize places like SG ammo already do this but I think people would love to be able to just go and pick ammo up same day instead of having to wait. And no hazmat. This has me thinking now.

There is a store I go to in Florida that is like this that thinks outside the box and is very successful. All they sell is reloaded ammo by the 50 rd bag or the case.

It’s so successful that they run out at times. The last time I was there I needed the wife to go in and make a purchase since they limited me to a certain amount of 50 rd bags.

Oh so Dicks are still in Business?
They can take their name and suck it vigorously.

I stopped by Dicks today, the only reason is I have a $50 gift card that I received last Christmas and refuse to just let them keep the money. I looked around and was sorely disappointed at the poor selection of ammo and guns, two people where waiting for a salesperson in the hunting area and no store personnel came around! Absolutely horrible service, I ended up walking out with nothing! Maybe I'll just regift the card?
