I agree for the most part until #4
Numerous people have said that at least some the retailers are reporting that they are NOT getting nearly the qty as before.
Heck, the place I go to the most told me 'We get it on Thursdays around 11am, and put it out around 1pm.'
I went a couple times and they did what they said.
They used to get what they wanted. Now they say they usually get a few thousand a week (I think around 3k-7k.... rarely 10k.)
The reason for this is the aforementioned .22lr production capacity. It's a fixed amount. As long as folks like yourself are running out on Thursday at 1pm and buying up the entire store supply by 1:15pm, and multiply this across every state and store, obviously stores won't be getting "what they want" because every store wants the same thing!
