This! Guess it depends on where you live though.

depends on local regulations. Ohio was HORRIBLE with guns in cars. A loaded magazine constitutes a LOADED GUN in ohio. yeah, that means a loaded mag in your trunk was illegal. and other horrible nuances. they JUST fixed this, should go into effect in a couple of months.

Here in Pa I some time forget how we'll we have it.

Went gun shopping with my friend (for him, he bought a M&P 9mm) and I got my eye on a M&P 15-22. Decent gun and super cheap to shoot

Same here bro :-)

I've seen a couple of them popping back into stock here and there....
Mine should come in end of next week. I've got a slidefire waiting for it, should be a blast :-)

They were available at most of the stores I went to today. The prices ranged from $490-550.

For the .22? :-) Fun plinker for sure.

This.

Just picked this up yesterday, should be a great all around gun for birds and on the clay range.
Browning White Lightning 12 gauge with 28 inch barrels.
Going to break it in this morning :-)

Purdy! :-)

Agreed ! :-)

In case you missed yesterday's gun show covered on the news this A.M. They interviewed vendors who said they did "a year's worth of sales in one month".

Biggest seller ? "military style semi auto" like the Bushmaster and A.R.15, and capacity clips.

When asked about the rise in prices, a very common, (and realistic) reply:
"No we aren't price gouging because of recent events. It's the manufacturers. They have stopped making them ! When they are gone, they are gone. That's the issue. "

man, I'm raising the :-) flag on that one. Those manufacturers may not be shipping many out to the venders (cuz EVERYONE wants em), but you can be damned certain they'll keep making em right up until the last second!

Yeh this. They're still making them, the supply line between dealer and manufacturer is just depleted right now

The shop I was in sold 300 AR type guns last week, they had to hire Four more sales people.
Also said they sold a truck load of 223, heck when I was at the counter a guy bought 45 boxes 9mm :-)

Guess this is one way to jump start the economy, start a gun control debate.

I will remember which scum bag dealers ( and 99% of them are, for years I have commented on how every every scam artist own gun shop) pushed prices 100% over retail. Once the idiot panic buyers leave the market these dealers will have to go back to facing there regulars, and I hope the regulars take there money else were.

If you think about these guys are benefiting from extreme volumes which should make them happy as a pig in slop, but yet they feel the need to double prices.

All the manufactures are running balls to the walls and yet the dealers push blame to them.... I have even heard of numerous complaints were the dealers are even removing the 3 mags out of the box provided by Glock in the gen 4's!!! Another buddy of mine had a Colt AR shipped to dealer and after happily looking over his new rig he noticed the 2 mags were missing that it shipped with. He even contacted the seller who right away told him the were in the case when it shipped......

Sorry guys rant over :-)

Pete I wouldn't consider the Sig 522, it's a better fire arm constructed like its big brother the 556. It also uses the industry standard black dog mags. I had the M&P 15-22 back when they came out and below $400, my sig 522 is twice the rifle.

Hey Remo, I said 10.5" but I might go with 11.5". We'll see which barrel is easier to find when it's time to build her. I'll type my Form 1 up at work Tuesday night and when I get paid on the 18th I'll mail it all in :-)

One of the shops I went to had the sig but I didnt check the price. I'll definately look into it when I'm ready to buy one
