I was in a Cabela’s on saturday, and they actually had a bin of 30rd AR-15 mags (limit 2).
Also, they had 7.62X39 in plenty (steel case),
but no a single cartridge of .22LR.
Was looking for a can of Accurate 2230. Not listed.
62 or 65 gr .223 in SP or HP boattail. Nothing. Some off brand 40gr bullets, but no Sierra, Remington, Winchester, or Hornday. No 5.56 brass. Primers are all on backorder.
Haven't checked Brownells, Midway, MidSouth, or the others yet...
I did manage to find some .380 auto which was tough to locate too.
“but no a single cartridge of .22LR.”
I was able to pick up 100 rounds at Wal Mart on Friday. They had about 1,000 rounds in stock, but it was $17.97 per 50 rounds.
Yeah, I'm having a hard time figuring that one out. I'm happy I stocked up on that late last year, because the shelves at my local big box store are absolutely empty as of last Saturday. One thing about a panic like this - when the shelves do fill again the price doesn't seem to go down to where it was.
I used to joke about 0bama being a firearms industry plant but now I'm not so sure it's a joke. Shoulda bought Ruger stock when I had the chance.
