Both “can’t supply” and “on hold”.
Two first person accounts on this very thread.
Trust me it’s supply.
A month ago I could buy AR lowers all over the place and even some great AR’s.
Now, I can’t get lowers or complete AR’s except in the private market and the one that are available must be made of gold and some are platinum.
Same with .233/556. I was casually picking up a couole of boxes and sometimes bandoliers. One week after Newton,Barrack decided to make December 2013 a record for his sales and to cap it off he took 1-2 years worth of orders for several manufacturers.
I’m calmed down now and didn’t need an AR before Barrack sold out inventory nationwide and I’m moving on to Cowboy guns. I want start shooting in contests and it will make me happy to dress like The Lone Ranger, Paladin or The Rifleman.
