Hi Guys:
Just an FYI about the major shortages that happened during the recent Pandemic. The firearms shortage has seemed to rectify itself. Most of the big major brands are shipping again. Naturally there are some firearms that are still hard to get from some manufacturers. You have to remember as a reseller the bigger you are, the better access you have to purchase hard to get firearms. When they hit the warehouses, if they are hard to get they are listed as (allocated firearms). Only the biggest wholesalers are privy to them.
Now the ammo shortage is something else. The major calibers like 9mm, 380, .22 LR, .45 ACP, are coming more available. But Hunting calibers like for instance 30-06, 270 Win, and .243 are still scarce. And when you find them, usually over $50.00 a box of 20 shells retail. The supplies are slowly, very slowly, building back up. But the major ammunition manufactures took a 15% to 25% INCREASE in cost. I don't think you will ever see the cheap ammo prices that were available pre pandimic.
The Hunters Hut is a Gold Dealer status with two major firearm wholesalers, I deal with a total of 5 or 6. I am also a Ruger Master Dealer, and Leupold Scopes authorized retailer.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
