I keep thinking the same thing. Here in Phoenix stuff is starting to come back. There are ARs on the shelves now and .223 ammo is showing up as well. Of course I have not seen a box of .22 since November.

I wonder if manufacturers are holding back on the less popular ammo such as 30-30 to focus on the more popular ammo...?

I have a feeling there will be some good deals on ARs in December.
