Good luck guys. All the gun shops I go to can't get any. The wholesalers are distributing them as fast as the manufacturers get them out. You may have to go to a big time store like Cabelas, Bass Pro, etc.

My gun shop had 8 in the store Monday last week. They sold all 8 by Tuesday.
They had 15 come in on Thursday (ordered before the shooting) - of those, 9 were spoken for before the shipment arrived. They sold every single one of them before Friday.
They also cannot get the ammo... They'll get a case in, have it sold by the end of the day....
....best part is, this is a SMALL town shop!

It's just crazy. While it's impossible to project exactly what Dianne Fienstein will introduce and when it'd go into effect, worst case is that it went into effect immediately, and if the rifle weren't in your safe on that day, it's not going to be - ever.

The AR market is crazy right now and will probably stay that way for a while. If people will just calm down things will level back out but with all this panic buying going on i think it's gonna be a while. I purchased a DPMS Lo Pro the week before Christmas for $700 and im glad i did because the price has probably doubled now. Like i said ..... Crazy!

LGS got a shipment of 50 Bushmaster M4's in on Friday. I'm concerned about what might happen with a ban or just the threat of a ban, so I went ahead and jumped on one. They sold them all in about 10 hours. Been putting off getting an AR for several years now for one reason or another. I was able to buy at $100 below MSRP, so it could have been much worse.
