Shortage easing?
Greg notes the AR shortage is coming to a close. I concur. Last week, I was at both Coal Creek Armory and Gunny’s and noticed they both has AR lower receivers and AR rifles in stock. I didn’t look at rifle prices but the lowers were priced at about the $150 mark.

Indeed.
I was at Cabela’s this past weekend and they had a rack of AR’s, I think about 8 Bushmasters and 4-5 Colts.
Even got a Cabela’s flyer in the mail yesterday advertising Bushmasters at $949, tho also stating a limit of 1 per customer (something like that).
And heck, this particular Cabela’s also has .223 ammo coming out their ears. Some purchase limits on quantity, but still there.
Now if I could just get Federal .22LR bricks again I’d be happy.

I’m seeeing plenty of AR lowers in the $120 area – and uppers/barrels/parts are available at close to last year’s prices (+ 10-20%). Now if only ammo would appear again..
