Re: OFFICIAL Using Wal-Mart App/Website
Saw they had limited stock of 22 and in stock for 45. Went in and asked and they hadn't had any ammo for 3 days. Seems odd to me
Employees lied to me. No surprise.
Went back just now and saw the cabinet filled. Of course I was 5 min too late for the 22 as I saw a guy carrying it out. Did get some 762 and 9mm

Great experience with mine over the past couple of weeks. My store puts what they get out at 7pm. Went tonight and all they had today was .40. I'm not being picky these days.
Also was told something interesting...hoping it's true. Was told that the dept mgr had contact directly with Remington and put in an order just for this store...500 cases for each of the popular cals. Like I said, if this pans out I give this guy credit for going the extra mile to take care of us...though I'm sure it'll be 6 months.

Used it to help a buddy of mine find 9mm tonight in his area.
Honestly from what I can see its no different then checking stock on Walmart.com.
The bar code scanner is nice!

That's because there is no difference. The app uses the same inventory system as the website. It doesn't make any sense for Walmart to build a completely independent inventory system just for the app. Doing so would cause all sorts of inventory problems.

Re: OFFICIAL Using Wal-Mart App/Website
Found out the m22 I was late to buy on armslist. 40 from Walmart 140 from this clown. The app works you just gotta hang out at Walmart until they pull the boxes out

OMG finding that in stock in my area would be like winning the superbowl.
I made my last round tonight for 9mm. 5 hours and 150 miles, hit 5 supercenters Found a bunch of 9mm Winchester white box 100 value packs, 9mm Federal 100 value packs on the shelves, but only seen 6 boxes of 40 and 6 boxes of 45...No 22LR whatsoever.
Every place I went to there were people carrying double bags full of ammo out the doors as I went in, and people hanging all around the sporting goods desks texting to friends and checking stock online.
Like to think things would be settling down here soon but I don't think so.

Used my WM app to pick up the last 2 Win 555 packs and a box of 223 today at my local Wally World.
Hope to pick up 3 more 555 packs in the AM.
Used it last week to score score nearly 2500 rounds.
I will never get caught short on ammo again in my lifetime!

New member here but I have a request for everyone.
Please at some time go into the Walmart phone app and rate it and provide feedback for it. Ask in the feedback for an increase in the ammunition listed and an increase in the radius of stores listed in your areas. I said that there is only a tiny tiny fraction of the ammunition listed that walmart carries all the time. If enough of us do this we might see some updates in the inventory listings.
Thanks.

I've owned my new AR for over a month now and still cannot find any ammo for it. Everyone is sold out, and ever Walmart within 50 miles has NOT received a single round in that time.
I don't know why some Walmarts get ammo while others don't.

Yea, last night at one of the stores I questioned them where the Federal 9mm listed in stock was and they said they didn't have any. The Mrs. flat out asked them if they were keeping ammo for themselves and the guy at the register shrugged his shoulders smiled at her and nodded his head...

Was at the local Wal-Mart last weekend and noticed behind the counter on one of the shelves under the register 2 big boxes labeled federal .223. I asked the guy that was there about it and he said there was something wrong with it and he couldn't sell it. Went to the front and had a little conversation with the manager on duty. Long story short, I walked away with 3 100 round bulk packs and was told that disciplinary action will be taken against the guy. If it's in the store it's for sale, and Wal-Mart has a strict policy about under-stocking, according to the manager.

Usual four of us at local WalMart Saturday morning at 6:45am. App showed Winchester 555 pks as in stock the evening before so we knew they would bring them out at 7:00am. Sporting goods dept. manager(same one who is there every day) came out at 7:00 and said they didn't get any ammo on their truck that night. I showed him my phone showing they did and he said sorry didn't have any. We left the area and congregated outside the store. Not ten minutes later, a well to do member of our small community comes out with a sack full of Winchester 555 pks. Went back in talked to store manager. She did about 45 minutes of checking and said the dept. manager told her he just happened to find a ten 555 pks of 22lr on sombody elses pallet of stock. Yeah right!!! I will contact corporate WalMart Monday.

On their website, you have can it email you and alert you when said product is in stock. Let's see how good it works. There's a store kinda far from me that a friend of mine goes to for me, always says the stuff is in stock, he gets there, and they turn him away, or tell him a guy with like 7 people buy up all the ammo. Honestly, the whole hoarding thing is a little stupid. I understand having 500-1000rds. But when you start going past that, you're just being a jerk to new gun owners like myself, who can't even use the gun I bought, because I can't shoot it. I have some Self-Defense ammo, but that's too expensive to fire at the ranges, and a few ranges around here don't want you shooting that. If anyone here in Metro Detroit wouldn't mind throwing a young, new gun owner a bone and would be willing to sell me a box or two, I would appreciate it! PM me!

I think that feature has been disabled.
I have tried unsuccessfully for months to get an email from WalMart on numorouse types of ammo to o avail.

So I went on Walmart.com today. It looks like they disabled the function to find ammo. It just says that data is not available. I have not tried out the app yet. I hope this is just temporary.

Seems to depend upon what ammunition you try to check. I have direct links for Federal 9mm and Winchester 22lr setup. The 9mm web pages say "Store information not available" while the 22lr web pages have store information but it is from 3/24/13. It does appear that Walmart is making it harder to know where the ammunition is in stock.

I'm happy for all of you that are able to score. Here's my story....since downloading the app on an iphone, two stores in the area have shown Winchester 22 from in stock to limited stock to mostly out of stock. EVERY time the app has said in stock, I've walked away with nothing, regardless of who I spoke to. Saturday morning I stopped at the customer service counter, verified 2 boxes of "limited stock" Winchester M-22 were in stock. Found an assistant manager who went to the back and returned "couldn't find any". I really hate to say it but the app has NEVER produced any in stock for me. Hope the rest of you have better luck! Now, I feel better!

Same here with the M22. Since I missed it the other night at my local store it has showed up in stock and limited stock at 2 different stores and when I call they say they don't have anything...
Most likely there are some Walmart employees that have M22 in stock now....

When the app loads up at the top left it says Walmart. Click on that. A tool bar opens up and you need to click on the stores icon. Then as long as you have GPS enabled it will show all the stores in your area. Otherwise you might have to enter you zip code. Just click on you local store and then on the next page click on "make this my store.

Walmart is on a *** system. It shows up as in stock when the unloaders unload the trucks and scan the packages unloaded. As it is passed over a register scanner it is taken out of the inventory and then when all the in stock merchandise the system says you have is scanned then it goes to out of stock.
It shows up as in stock when it is scanned as its unloaded, not when it is loaded on a truck at the distribution center. The store management gets a print out of what is supposed to be on the truck but stores can be shorted at the warehouse.
The system updates instantly all day as items are sold, returned, or adjusted in the system through a tel on or smart system at a computer terminal.
Good luck and good hunting.

Should have got the m22! I would have paid shipping on that. Boy scouts and 4h are in need here and I have been trying to find some. Granted I'm not going to pay armslist prices for it lol

This has happened to me a couple of times and took a a couple of weeks to figure out. In my area the "in stock" status will change about midnight EST. If the item says in stock then it will be available when the store allows ammo to be sold. Which in my case would be 7 am. Last Saturday I hit local Walmart at 6:15 am and stood in line....waiting. Sure enough everything that showed in stock at midnight was available.
Around 8:30 am is when the Walmart inventory showed "not in stock" so I would think the *** software updates down ticks pretty close to real time.
In regards to "limited stock". After speaking to several people at different stores the inventory will ghost 1 box and cause the system to show limited stock. Do I believe this? I dunno I can't believe a billion dollar company would have problems with inventory system - but did get same type of story from several stores in different towns, so who knows?

Former assistant mgr at several wal-marts we had someone scanning each box as it came off the truck that's the only way to verify that what you got from the warehouse on the truck was what was on the bill of lading. Don't know about your wal-mart.

First of all, I finally found some 223 ammo at my local Walmart after months of coming up empty handed. But I discovered another problem with shopping at Walmart after 10PM. Shortly after 10PM a young clerk brought up a few cases of ammo. I asked if he had any 223 in stock, and he replied yes, it just came and proceeded to hand me 3 boxes. The older female clerk standing next to him proceeded in a very loud voice with me standing right there, that the ammo WAS NOT supposed to be brought out and told the young clerk to take it back to the back room. She then told the young man that if he was going to give me 3 boxes, that HE could walk up to the front register with me, that she was NOT going to. The young man was very polite and quickly offered to walk me up to pay for the ammo. One the way I asked him about the other clerk and why she was so angry. He said that store policy dictates that a sales clerk walk the customer who is buying ammo, up to the front register as the sporting goods register closes at 10PM. The crabby older woman didn't want to do that so she was telling them not to stock the ammo until morning. That is BS. If they have it in stock, it should be put out on the shelf. So this is just one more complication to face when looking for ammo at Walmart. Not only have they stopped (I hope it's only temporary) listing certain calibers of ammo on their website as in stock or not, but now we have to put up with clerks who do not want to do their job and sell it even when they have it to sell. If I hadn't been standing right there when the ammo was brought out, it would have been taken away and put back in the store room and I once again would have come away empty handed. Things are never simple.

OK, I've tested this app for approximately two weeks and it does work. There are some different things that need to all come together, timing, luck, persistance and Walmart employees that are willing to help and actually go in the back to look for what you're there for. I have also encountered the unwilling employees and I'm not one to be combative or confrontive with these particular individuals.
Between the hours of 7:00 last night and 7:15 this morning at three different stores my husband and I were able to score 2,999 rounds of 22 lr. Two 1,000 M22 Winchester's that the employees had to retrieve and 3 333 Winchester packs that were just being brought out this morning. This was after a long dry spell of nothing in stock anywhere in our area. Seeing 9mm in the cabinet just waiting on someone tells me that things may be improving in general. Definitely looking forward to a lot of target practice over the next several months. Good luck and happy hunting!

Just a note for those of you looking for the Winchester M-22 ammo... it most likely shows "Limited stock" because it comes in a box that only has 2 of the 1000 round bricks in it. I scored both boxes of it right off a truck one night and watched the clerk open the carton myself. I imagine only 2 of an item should show limited stock on any website. Also, when I purchased it I checked in the car and it showed OOS so I think the app works well.

Do I feel like a gouger? No! Not at all because I have sold every box at my cost and my cost only. A hoarder maybe, but since I got my 15-22 in January I have been shooting a lot more and now my wife is getting into it too. It may be a little ridiculous that I have bought over 30K rounds this year, but I don't feel bad. I have helped at least 15 people get ammo that needed it, and I have plenty myself to shoot for a while.
I have quit looking for it though... But you can bet if I stumble across some I will get it.

My brother-in-law was speaking with an Walmart employee in the sporting good section, and was told that the same guy comes in every morning checking on ammo and buys everything he can get for rimfire and handguns. Even said they had seen his total come to over $800. So much for 3 box limit.

Ours showed the 555 boxes in stock and the M22 as limited tonight and we know that that means they only had two.
Showed up at 9:45 and there it was on the pallet. Old man got the only 3 boxes of 555 and his son right in front of me took the two M22 boxes....
Next time around I am showing up 2 hours early and pitching a tent and whatever comes off that pallet I get first pick.

I don't doubt that some of these Walmart Employees are calling in people to pick up ammo to resell.

Well I had another questionable situation tonight as well.
An employee personally walked someone back to the counter as they were unpacking the stuff and he was expecting to get some of the 22. They were both acting funny and I probably should have hung around the store and watch because I would bet money he walked out with some 22 after we all left..I seen him talking to another employee in another part of the store afterwards...
He was either an employee not on the clock, or someone they knew and were getting ammo for.
Just what you have to deal with the way things are right now.

Wow, sounds like a real jerk-off move not to offer you at least one of the 555rnd boxes since they had just got over 3k rnds...
I scored another 300 rnds of .223 tonight at WM. And we even split up 3 cases between everyone that was there that wanted some.
