Most places are sold out of them. I was in the market for one then kinda got out but looking to buy one before the year ends.

I bought my Bushmaster at Academy. They are usually pretty fair on their pricing as far as a retail store goes.

If you wait to long you probally won't be able to get one.DPMS Panther has a 1yr wait and i ordered a AR10 from them in June and still waiting.The gun store i buy my gun's from have 4 AR15's on the wall right now so they can't be that hard to get.You can buy them from a store out of state and do a transfer.

I made sure to purchase a receiver for the .308 DPMS a few months back. (price has almost doubled since then) I plan on slowly putting the gun together this way. The good part is that I have transferred the gun into my name by buying this piece through my FFL dealer. I might pick up a few hi cap mags, and the rest can be mail ordered without transfers.

This is a bad time for good deals, but you never know if they will be banned. ( I doubt it, but never say never)

Even magazines are back ordered^^

Good luck finding one. Better start calling, and expect the price to be 4-700 more than MSRP.

Got mine right before the craze.

I personally don't think anything will change as far as purchasing firearms are concerned. I wish I had a few AR-15's laying around right now to sell though because he's been a blessing to the weapons industry and prices are currently rediculous on assault rifles!

I went with my cousin to that ghetto shooting range in pasadena off 225. We were shooting his AR-15, and one of the guys that works there came back and gave us a AR-15 that had been converted over to shoot 9mm. That was the nicest shooting, most accurate gun I have ever shot. They even use uzi clips you can buy for $10 bucks. Very cool gun.
