Relax. They are still making ammo. It will be back in stock soon.

They are still making guns too. It's that nothing is coming down the line to the shops. What's the bottleneck? Any idea?

my advice is to watch slickguns.com. there was some 7.62x39 up for a fair price.

but yes for the most part the ammo and most of the handguns and longuns will be the exact same. I can undestand the magazine rush and even people wanting the modern sporting rifles they been putting off getting. but why everything is selling out right now is simply just what people do when they panic. temporaily good for economy I guess...

this isn't by any means teotwawki so all this does make a good case for being more of a prepper. all it takes is some type of panic.

From what I heard, there is a large production backlog from distributors, so if one distributor is waiting for 2000 guns from one manufacturer, the 250 shops they supply won't see them until the order is complete.

As for reloading supplies and cheap ammo, apparently the govt isn't selling their spent brass to the open market like they are supposed to by law, and destroys it instead. If they don't feed at least the alloy back into the market to make new virgin brass, manufacturers could have a hard time even finding raw materials.

I think right now is a great time to start some more firearms and ammo companies. If you can get a loan from a bank that isn't against those kinds of companies. Come to think of it, might be a grand time to start a bank specifically for that purpose <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

This was a lesson to me that supply can get wiped out incredibly fast. If there was a truly hairy situation brewing, the same would happen. Don't need too many days to really clear out stock...

There's a pretty large gun show here next week. Just drive over here. We'll go buy all the bullets and guns you want the sip on some Polygamy Porter. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Utah?

Yes. Gallenson's gun shop is fully stocked on everything too. It is a local shop.

Lucky you. Pickings are kind of slim around here. Only thing I'm really looking for is a GP100.

Road trip! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I'm getting ready to pick up a mini 14 at a price I don't like 'cause choices are slim! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

I still just want a ruger 10/22, but can't find one anywhere and I'm just not paying the $75 transfer at my LGS. Plus they make me go through all kinds of bs and hoops when filling out the 4473 when transferring that I really don't need to.

So guess I'll wait and see if they are still legal when supply comes back in.

most 10/22s should still be legal regardless of a ban. a stock 10/22 doesn't have a pistol grip, threaded barrel, or muzzle device, or anything evil does it? since they only ship with 10 round mags it's the magazines you would have to be after. and i've seen the hotlips mags listed at a few places for about $10 more than usual.

when the first ban came about there wasnt near as many conversion stocks and parts available. please correct me if I'm wrong but if I'm understanding things you can still build you own firearms with all the "evil" parts if you want to. so if you buy a AR lower and build your own gun then it can be as evil as you want it to be. or am I missing something?

you guys probably know more about this stuff that me. so is it that you a company can't make evil guns and we wont be allowed to go into a store and buy one. but if you want to you can build one?
