Ammo will probobly take longer, as everybody who bought AR's is going to want to get some range time in.

I sure hope so, I did see plenty of ARs and AKs at all of my gun shops locally...ammo is still tough to find (.223, .308, etc).

I bought my AK from the local shop before I lost it in a boating accident for $325.00. Saw the same one for sale at the same store last month for $625.00, yesterday it was $499.00. Tell me that ain't as crazy as wall street....

I would say this is only partly true. ARs and AKs are still virtually non-existant at distributors, with huge backorder wait times. Dealers are buying from dealers to have stock.
The thing is, most people who wanted an AR or AK now have one. Panic buying has not subsided, in my experience. The real problem is ammunition... good luck seeing a big supply of that any time soon. |

Just went to a local fun shop at lunch today. They had 8 or 9 ARs on the rack which was 7 or 8 more than they have had since early November. They were all $400 more than they were then too, but they're out there.
Ammo was retardedly priced or nonexistant though. I saw a case of 1000 rounds of XM193 (with some suffix, I can't remember) for $650

LMT is still over 30wks to deliver. Colt is on a 1yr back order. Things are slowing because nobody can get anything. Many distributors don't have anything, like no M&Ps, no Glocks, etc.

I think it's all who you're dealing with. I've scrounged every Wal-Mart within a 100 mile radius and am lucky to score any .223 ammo, and it's priced WAY too high. The REALLY local Fun Shops are whining that they can't get EBR's or ammo, but I can drive 60 miles up the coast to my regular Fun Shop and their walls and cases are full. AR's, AK,s, 50cal, everything.
They had at least 30 cases of XM193 @ $449 a case, and probably 40 cases of Speer Lawman (basically XM193) for 10 bucks a box (I don't know what the case price was). They literally had cases of ammo stacked around three walls of the shop in 9mm, .40, 45, 7.62, pretty much everything. Sometimes they run a little low, but they ALWAYS have at least a few cases, and they've always had a decent selection of EBR's. Prices are good, too. Most AR's are still under a Grand, so it's not like they have stock because they're ripping people off. The stuff's out there, you just have to find somebody willing to find and stock it. |

I called Lauer yesterday to order some lowers and they said their phones were ringing off the hook.
I talked to a distributor a couple of days ago and he said they were getting shipments of PMAGs every couple of days and were still backordered by about 100K mags. If you know of a distributor with some 9mm Glocks, let me know. |
