I was traveling South on Highway 75 in Atoka, Oklahoma, when I saw the sign pictured above. I couldn't resist stopping and finding out if it were true. I have been saying that the ammunition bubble was going to pop, and I have been seeing a bit more .22 ammunition available than a few months ago.
The sign was for The Pawn Ticket, and it was open.
Once inside, I was informed that they had run out of .22 ammunition the day before. They were selling it for $85 a brick (500 rounds) or $10 for a box of 50. Those prices are a bit high. I have seen .22 ammo in a gun store in Yuma, Arizona, for $3.19 a box of 50 just a month ago.
The shop has only been open for a year. They had a nice selection of used guns, but I had miles to go and commitments to keep.
About twice as many guns were stored in a more secure room. A customer posed for the photo.
I wish them the best of luck. Starting a new business is never easy.
