I was browsing stores in the local area that sold such rifles and found many of them had sold out or nearly so. The ones that seem to be somewhat immune are the Remington ARs that are Mossy Oak cammo with no front sight options.
I did find a shop with Bushmaster Carbon 15's in 9mm
on sale!
I like the idea of an AR type rifle that shoots relatively inexpensive 9mm so I bought one on the spot for $800. I've since picked up 5 additional magazines for it. Shooting it is lots of fun and quite a bit less expensive than .223/5.56.
I'm seriously considering ordering a 20'' AR15 Varmint Upper Half; 5.56 NATO; Stainless steel, 1-8 twist; 2 piece alum free float for $360 from Model 1 Sales. When lowers are available again I'd make a complete rifle. For now I could use my .223/5.56 lower to play with it.
I also recently picked up some Wolf ammo:
500 rounds of 62 grain .223. (20 round boxes)
640 rounds of 122 grain 7.62X39 (in a spam can)
500 rounds of 122 grain 7.62X39 (20 round boxes)
900 rounds of 9mm (in a spam can)
All in celebration of the election of a new president.
I think Pres. Clinton and Pres. Elect Obama have done more for the sales of military style rifles/carbines and military type ammo both foreign and domestic than any other single factor in American history.
...I wonder how they feel about that?
