Pistolero, I feel your pain - kind of. I waited on the uppers until the day after the election, and then they were all sold out online. I called my local toy shop, and they had 10 when I called. I showed up, and they had six. After I left, they were down to four. They must be loving the business, but it is kind of overshadowed by the fact that it might have a very hard wall at the end...

Waiting to get a semi-auto rifle was not the smartest thing I could have done this year.

Currently eyeing something by CMMG or Olympic Arms - not sure, yet.
