ARs and Aks getting real scarce

[Bulldog Bruce]

I was looking through some sites that sell firearms and the amount of available AR and AK platform rifles is lower than I have ever seen. Palmetto State currently has 0 complete AR-15 and AK rifles available. They have only 1 AR-10 available. Sportsman's Guide only have the high ticket ARs left. Good Luck trying to find a Sig Tread. I guess everyone is getting prepared.

With as many “panic buying” sessions that we have had over the last 12 years, it is hard to imagine that people aren’t already “prepared”.

I guess though, every day someone else turns 21 or has an “awakening” of some sort.

Right now, I am panic buying gym equipment so I haven’t been paying attention to anything gun related.

 

[DAWG61]

Prepared for?

Prepared for?

Zombie apocalypse.

Prepared for?

To protect what they own when the idiots who are burning down cities decide they want to come loot and destroy their **** the next time there is some sort of injustice that has zero to do with the property owners that are having their stuff destroyed.

All you need is a 22 Cal riffle. It is cheap, the ammo is cheap and light. You can buy 1000's of rounds cheaply and carry 1000's of rounds with no problem. Most of all a 22cal will kill you.

Most (99%) AR-15s are 22-caliber rifles.

one day I witnessed and I hear all other days this week.... Bullfrog Corner gun and pawn has had a line all day, every day. I'm sure they have limited occupancy due to covid but.... I've been in there a few times over the years and not seen as many people inside as waiting outside the other day.

Castle Law in effect at my house.

Palmetto State is my "go to" for good, cheap stuff. Highly underrated product.

Get an AR-10. It will reach out and touch someone and has the knockdown power needed. You can also deer hunt with it.

Does that mean you're sitting in a rocking chair on the front porch waiting for the riots to come to Noxapater?

 

[Penndaddy]

Geez

There have been a lot of panic buys, right? I became aware of them since Obama came into office. Total coincidence there.**
The guns still haven't been taken like so many claimed.
And this latest round of panic buying is interesting since based on articles it started due to covid(why?) And has just continued to due riots.

 

[Ralph Cramden]

.223 and 22 long rifle are not the same. Gun education is important

 

[Ralph Cramden]

Really ? Guess that's why it sush a popular deer hunting rifle. If you are shooting people with a 22 you better be a crack shot.

 

[Requiem For A Dawg]

This is incorrect. Most AR-15’s sold are the 5.56 ammo which is a .223 variant.

 

[Digging dog]

Gun manufacturers hiring. Multiple openings.

No actually my house sits on 20 Acres 20 mins from Oxford.... so i have various weapons sighted in at different ranges 200 yards and in.... last line of defense is 12 gauge with Buckshot...

Sorry, I got the town wrong. As was stated often way back during the coronavirus, "you can't live your life in fear."

I've been waiting on a certain barrel/upper to get back in stock for 3 months.

Caliber is a measure of the bore diameter. Go mic one and get back to me.

Caliber is NOT what is printed on the box of ammo.

 

[BELdog]

.224 caliber actually.

Preparation > fear.

22 LR is generally .222 caliber, whereas 223 Rem/5.56/223 Wylde are .224 caliber.

We’ve had several break ins lately nearby.....one involved a home invasion of a 16 year old girl at home by herself... luckily she was able to lock herself inside her bathroom and called 911... the perp was captured on Ring camera and arrested a few days later.

 

[Shamoan]

and they said 30 round magazines are unnecessary....current events show exactly why it is necessary.

 

[Bulldog Bruce]

I absolutely love the AR I got from them. With just the 1x Vortex StrikeFire it does good groupings at 100. I changed the muzzle flash guard to a muzzle brake to help with the rise and it holds on sight shot after shot.

 

[TaleofTwoDogs]

Hey,. Watch your mouth, my wife is from Nox. Go tigers!

 

[TaleofTwoDogs]

Rifles are too bulky, unless you can see the zombie mob coming down the street. Keep your revolver close at hand.
I like my Ruger 22 magnum LCR. Good stopping power
and doesn't jam like my LCP.

 

[Hellsyeah]

My local store is completely out of ARs today. They got broken into early this morning by a few upstanding taxpayers and they took all of the ARs and Glocks

Which break did you go with? I've looked at a battle comp but keep talking myself out of it.

Can't post the link right now but Ranier Arms just posted the Sig Tread back in stock.

 

[Shamoan]

here is a great place to buy guns...it looks like they still have availability in AR and AK variants. i used them several years ago and it couldnt legally have been any easier and their prices are great.

You’re truly touched in the head, aren’t you?

 

[WilCoDawg]

The uptick during Obama’s terms was from people rushing out due to him and lawmakers discussing gun bans and such. Obviously the legislation never happened nor did any EOs. Doesn’t mean the rush wasn’t warranted and unfounded as you insinuated.

 

[WilCoDawg]

Slow left lane drivers.

[Bcash2]

Fair enough. I'm all for home protection. I just don't really think recent events are cause for concern for 99.99% of Americans' safety. And I'm aware that you weren't implying you had increased protection due to recent events. I hope your family/property stays safe from whoever was doing the break ins.
