Someone took them...no mystery there. Happens all the time at Sportsmans, Bass Pro, etc.

That's why you always open the box to check before you buy them.

Amazing what happens during an ammo shortage. But it doesn't really surprise me.

It used to be common for an unscrupulous dealer to steal one mag from a new pistol and resell it.

I am just speculating that Legendary bought the ammo from a private seller, not from a distributor. Maybe they got it at an estate sale or in a trade. Maybe they got 20 boxes and checked 3; probably they did not know that one box was short. That seems to me to be the most likely explanation; I doubt that they would try to screw a customer out of five rounds of .32. That's not a smart way to steal.

Possibly the seller (or the seller's widow) did not remember or know that one box was 5 rounds short. It is my habit -- for my benefit, not for the benefit of a subsequent buyer -- to identify partial boxes. If the box is more than half full, I leave one of the side flaps on the end untucked. If it it less than half full, I leave both side flaps untucked. That way I know if I am grabbing a partial box when I go to the range.
