I work in a gun store the size of a Cabela’s, shelves have been bare for months, where have you been?
FWIW, I saw 666 rounds of plated HP Winchester .22 LR at Wally World this weekend.
(Last two boxes of 333 rounds)
Otherwise, find out when the stores’ ammo trucks come, and camp out like everyone else does.
(So I’ve heard)
I don't work in a gun shop, though I may have to do something about that, but I'm with you on your question. I've been in and out of gun stores in my area since mid-February, and it's been pretty slim pickings all that time. I'm not really that fond of the AR platform, based on a bad initial experience with the M-16A1 in the early 70's, but I've played with a few I at least kind of liked. I'm a bit more interested in an AR-10, but those are apparently non-existant here in the OKC metro. Or maybe I am just bad at being in the right place at the right time.
