    10mm
    45 auto
    25-06
    7mm

    Just overheard a salesman at gun counter say they are getting a truck on Monday and it will have guns and ammo on it.

    I'd take that with a grain of salt, they have been telling customers for some time that the new store would be "fully stocked"... product just doesn't seem to be available on that level for anyone though.

    Yep, stopped by there after work. Decided to make a quick 5 minute walk though of the place so some of you who haven't been there can check it out.. But I got bitched at by a manager saying that it is private property and a privately owned company and that no pictures or video clips are allowed. Funny thing was, he chased me down from out of nowhere just to get onto me about it. Oh well. Honestly wasn't much of a "wow factor" for me. Same layout as the other store, just a bit bigger. And sure haven't improved much on their salt water fishing selection at all. The one thing that has improved is the display cases..

    And Neo, I belive I saw a 1/2 isle or so of camo. Didn't really stop to look at it though.

    Hell, the ammo isle in this new store seemed half the size of the one in the old store... Just kind of shook my head at that.

He said he saw it and did not know?? maybe , maybe not ? but he dosn't seem like the type to tell a story. Anyone see any of this?

    Somewhere, out there.
    Their prices weren't panicky. I bought a few boxes of honest to god ( and Ive never seen them before so let me have my moment... ) .38 Spl wadcutters! They look so funny! Ive only ever seen them in pictures before, but to have them is pretty neat. I picked up three boxes and some old guy was like you cant take that many! And I had to conduct a reading comprehension class on-site. Dont tell me how many boxes that I can take when the sign is RIGHT BELOW what Im grabbing and that cal is nowhere on the list.

    Lets just say from what I have been told the store(pensacola) is one of the ATF's biggest "problems". Read into it as you will,was told by LEO myself.

    I am wondering why no one called them out (Academy ) on the straw buys on the 2 AR's ? seems illeagel to do that as per signs at counter

    NO a straw buy is someone buying a weapon for someone else. was said a lady paid the first two people in line to buy them for her.
