Supply

[rickwe818]

Does anyone know, or have information when firearms might be flowing to dealers? As I'm sure everyone is aware, everywhere the supply for AR's and popular handguns is very low. Don't know whether it's due to Covid 19, or the fact it's an election year, or maybe both. Thoughts?

All you have to do is look at virtually any gun site in the 2A or current news section and you'll find your answer. I think most of the Covid buying has been done, but protests and election outcomes have plenty of people concerned.

Several things to remember:

- Massive increased in demand
- disruption of supply chain due to Covid staffing
- same disruption of raw materials
- same disruption of shipping carriers/logistics
- demand increase due to time allowed for folks to shop. Lots of folks home or furloughed. Leaves time to shop for firearms and related materials.

I think it’ll be next year before supply catches up.

Seems that may be true Okie. One LGS by me, was informed by manufactures/distributors, that most big name brand shotguns and AR's, won't be available until after 12/31/20 (at least locally around me here in Pa.).
