Where have all the guns gone!

[NyFirefighter357]

We went to 2 gun stores today they have plenty of high end rifles & shotguns. Very few used guns unless they are high priced, single shots or double barrel. All the 20ga shotguns are sold out. The 20ga foster slugs are sold out. Not a standard pump shotgun around. All the 00 buck sold out. AR-15's & Mini-14 are $1,200. They have plenty of pistols but that's only because you need a pistol permit to buy them. Over all ammo selection is OK. I bought CCI quiets 2 weeks ago they sell for $8.99 box of 50. They have some mid range bolt action 22's and alike in the $400 range. They have nickel Stoeger coach guns in 12ga and that funny looking 12ga broom handle Remington Model 870 TAC-14. Both about $600-700.

I know someone that was going to buy a SP101 357 and there was none to be found. Since they was working on a 410 to reload ,they bought the S&W Governor.

Went to a small lgs a week ago, he had 2 Ruger 10/22’s, and a very small amount of ammo. I’m not sure why his doors were even open.

Bored and afraid if he went home someone would find something for him to do, most likely.

I was in for some primers a couple weeks ago.
Our local guy looked like normal, plenty of everything, and more or less decent prices.

No idea what his recent sales were, but at a glance, it appeared the same as going in there last year.

Who's your local shop?

Considering the divisiveness in our country, I'm thinking it's more a fear of Crazy Little Charlie's Helter Skelter than Armageddon.

I frequent a couple gun shops in my area and handgun sales are thru the roof. I bought a rifle at one of them and had to leave and come back later as they use computers to do the form 4473 and they have 3 of them there was a waiting line that would a taken more than a hour for me to get checked out. I asked when their least busy time was and they said about 5 PM so I came back then. Even though there were many less people in the gun store there was still 2 people buying handguns ahead of me. I was at another shop in MI a couple days ago and they had people waiting in line to get checked out with gun purchases. It’s pretty crazy but the old guns I’m looking for I have been finding bargains on and buying them.

Who's your local shop?

It's on 198 in Mabank, a little ways down from Hi-way 175, on the top end of Cedar Creek Lake about 60 miles East of Dallas.
Its a small shop called 'On Target'.

I like 'em, and will pay a extra buck or two to buy from them and help keep them there rather than buying on line.

I'll have to check them out.

Don't go in with more money than you're willing to spend.
The cheapest I ever got out of there---- I only spent about 100 bucks.

[Idaho45guy]

Ammo and components for 9mm and .40 S&W are completely gone for 50 miles out here. Some bullets for .223 available, but no cases, primers, or loaded ammo.

Haven't paid attention to firearms, really. I called my nearest Blue Label Glock dealer looking for a Gen 4 G23 and he said none are available in the system.

Ya'll are doing it wrong. Just go to a gun show and use that "gun show loophole" where you can buy anything ya want, no problem. Easier than that yet, just order one online. It's easier to get a gun online than a puppy don't ya know.
get with the program guys, just ask a liberal how it's done, they'll tell ya.

[Four-Sixty]

I asked a dealer to look for a handgun I could not find. She laughed at me.

[serger]

I suppose it depends on what you're looking to buy. Around here,
the 9mm/223 crowd is really thin. But the 45acp/308 folks have
stuff to pick from. Most of the people in this area had what they
wanted already. There is still a lot of variety in the heavier big
game stuff also.

[Cosmic_Charlie]

Plenty of guns around my AO. I think most folks are already well armed here. Gunbroker seems to have plenty but prices are up a bit. Just picked up a made in 1987 minty Super Blackhawk off GB for $525. Hoping she has no issues.

[Rich/WIS]

Was in Bud's in Lexington KY during the worst of it and there was no shortage of guns or ammo. Prices seemed reasonable or even slightly lower.

The shelves are bare in LA. Even the Pawn shops are empty.

...and the size of the concealed carry classes at the local outdoor range is ridiculous. I think there were 20 people, which seems excessive to me...and was all one particular “ cultural group ”. Not much one on one instruction for the newbies.

[roverboy]

A friend told me about a gunshop he goes to that has sold hundreds of guns to people that don't like guns and don't even know how to load them or anything. Weird...….

In answer to the original question: we bought 'em all. I was trying to get myself an AR-7, take-down 22. Not to be had. I'll just have to make do with my old guns.

Unless you have your heart really set on it I would avoid the ar-7 .
I've had 4 and my dads owned 2 and we both have sold all of them and moved on to a take down ruger 10/22 and a marlin papoose.

I cant really recommend the 10/22 take down for its bulk but the papoose is the bees knees, slap a set of tech sights on it and you really have a good packable rifle. I get awesome groups at 50 yards with them
