Stingers, and was only allowed 5 boxes, but that's nice because now I can go shooting and not feel like I'm carelessly burning rare unobtainium. There were also a passel of AR-15s and AK-47s at my fav shop so maybe things are starting to return to sanity?
[Edit] Crossed paths with a fool at the shop and ranted here a bit. (Removed it - not worth our time. Sorry 'bout that.)

Next time you see those .22s take a picture.
Might be the closest some folks will get for a while.

Re: Did find some .22 LR today
This might actually BE my first post on this forum...thought I registered long ago, but maybe not...
For what it's worth, I love the lever-action and just 'joined', only to find no matter WHAT forum I go to, .22LR seems hared to find!
Incredible.
Whoodathunkit?
Looking forward to finding my way around here.

Re: Did find some .22 LR today
Shop near here was selling boxes of 50 for $5.00 so at least everyone can get SOME (limit one box per customer per day). Don't know if they still have any left or not, since I had enough not to need to buy any and figured let the folks who need it more than me go get it.

Re: Did find some .22 LR today
I haven't seen any for sale for a long time. If I didn't have a couple of 550 round boxes stashed away, I might forget what it even looks like.

Re: Did find some .22 LR today
Visiting the in-laws in Alabama. I am dangerously close to being out of 22 LR and havent seen any for about 3 months up north. So I went to every gun store in town. The last one had boxes of 525 for sale (one per customer).
I'm going back tomorrow for another.
Larry's in Huntsville if anyoine is in the area.

I was just in Tucson for a couple days, got some large rifle primers and a pound of powder (I was really looking at guns of course 
)

My guy tells me it will be about a year for normalcy to return...............as long as there are no other "issues".
The situation is better here in the East. Most quality gun shops with the proper connections (read...its who you know) still have inventory.-----------------6

Re: Did find some .22 LR today
I've shot about $11 worth of it the last 2 days. Last spring the Feed Store had stinger's on sale for $4.49. I bought 6 boxes and didn't really need them. Am lucky have a few rifles that really like them.

I'm glad I spent the $225 I did, last Summer, for two cases (5K rounds ea) of Winchester .22LR Wildcat a local funshop had sitting on the floor.

Found some subsonics available on MidwayUSA website last night. I was so suprised that I almost failed to buy some.......but I came to my senses in time.

Re: Did find some .22 LR today
Would $50.00 a brick (500-rounds) for Winchester Super X, X22LRPP, Lead Hollow Point, Lubaloy coated 40 grain .22LR be too much to ask?

Re: Did find some .22 LR today
There were also a passel of AR-15s and AK-47s at my fav shop so maybe things are starting to return to sanity?
Price check, please?
Last two g. shows I've been to, still seeing $700 AR uppers, $1250 - $1400 AR's, and kilobuck AK's...and they're not moving off the tables.
I think the panic is over and we're settled into watchful and grim determination.
Next two weeks will give us an idea as to a turning point or not.
