BudsGunShop.com has AR-15's in stock

I just visited BudsGunShop.com to see if they had any new AR-15's in and was shocked by the supply. I guess the market for such weapons is finally opening up.

They had Windhams, Stags, Daniel Defense, Colt, and Bushies...and they prices weren't too bad either.

I have bought several weapons from Buds and have always been pleased with their quick service and decent prices.

I've already seen guys trying to sell their ARs on the secondary market. One guy on our local gun forum was trying to sell two he had recently bought, and said he needed the cash worse than the guns.

I expect to see a lot of that.

My neighborhood gunshop said two weeks ago that they can’t sell AR-15s now after not being able to keep up with demand in December and January! Now they say they are having problems keeping up with demand for pistols.

Once people got their AR-15s, buyers started to snap up on pistols.

i’d consider a bushmaster if the price was right.

Without ammo, they make scary-looking clubs.

A brick & mortar LGS also had a variety of ARs when I stopped by this weekend, and while people were looking at them while I was there, I saw no frenzy to purchase. They also had ammunition, but have had quantity limits on it for a while.

You may know this, but Windham Weaponry is the same group who used to make the Bushmaster (before it was sold to Freedom Group and moved to Ilion, NY).

Check them out and read their story before buying a Bushy (some folks say the Bushmaster quality has gone downhill a wee bit).

There’s plenty of 5.56 ammo at CheaperThanDirt.com (but it’s not cheap).

I saw a used Bushmaster at a pawn shop for $1700 last weekend. Its normally a $850-$1000 firearm.

Their web site is annoying with that darned pop advert! How does a person get rid of it?

[RoosterRedux]

I agree with you...but don't know how to get rid of it.

Someone should tell Buds to kill that thing.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Sigh, if they only had 5.7 ammo...

Price of all ammo is out of hand. Can’t find 9mm anywhere(at a decent price)

[RoosterRedux]

Just as an aside, you guys probably know that a rifle marked 5.56 will also shoot a .223, but the reverse isn't true. In case you don't know the details, read the story at link.

Supply is catching back up with demand (or demand is dropping off), so if I wait a few months and the price will probably return to normal.

Still won’t be able to find ammo, but I can at least get the weapon.

[RoosterRedux]

Here's where I get my ammo...CheaperThanDirt.com (but it ain't cheap...yet).

Son just got an S&W M&P AR-15 from a major area dealer and he said AR-15 prices are back to what they were before Newtown......

As everyone now knows, problem now is ammo.....

Just picked up a hundred rounds of 7.62x39 at a buck a round.

[Arlis]

Just got 250 rnds. of 9mm at Bass Pro for $15/box of 50.....

Couldn’t believe it as I haven’t seen 9mm anywhere since Newtown......

[Clint N. Suhks]

I check CTD daily for 5.7 ammo.

Someday official NATO ammo, like 5.56, will be as common as .22s.

Wait, what? They’re out of .22 ammo too? This country is out of control...thanks 0bama.

[Verbosus]

Thanks for the heads-up.
