Why is everything out of stock or backordered?

If anybody finds a Wolverine Journeyman soft toe boots, size 11.5 that will arrive before Christmas, let me know.
Or a Rossi 92 Lever Action 44 magnum carbine (at retail price)?
I need a personal shopper.

No kidding, I’ve been looking for a few boxes of 20 gauge high brass #6’s for rabbit hunting and can’t find them anywhere. Hoping to find them at the gun show in Raleigh this week end. I need to start reloading but heard that primers are hard to find now as well. Might have to break out the sling shot when my ammo on hand runs out.

Don't think the manufacturers have a full work force yet. Where I live, you can get guns but not the ammo.

Here’s the deal! Gun MFG’s are going to cash in with every sale on an AR platform now before it’s too late. These said MFG’s shoot all day every day for R&D and buy a chit-ton of ammo, not to mention just testing. Couple that with hoarders, big box allocations and back orders and it goes downhill from there.

because they are out of 9mm and I don't want to go into my stash. I only have 350 rounds on hand. Hard to find, and it is always on backorder.

A big reason for ammo shortages is primer shortages. That has been exacerbated by high demand. Military has first dibs, then on down the line. I just scored 2000 sp primers so I feel like I won the golden ticket.

You just have to hope to come across a cowardly crook, one that will turn and run when a gun is pointed at him
Of course Superman only ducked when a gun was thrown at him

model) available. Ammo, however is another story all together. While there is an ammo shortage, I can still find just about every caliber of ammo but the prices are crazy high. Glad I bought some over a year ago but like others - I'm not going to the range because I don't want to burn through my stash because it will cost me a ton to replace it.
Just read a story a couple of weeks ago where one of the US Ammo manufacturers (Vista Outdoor) said they have over a years worth of ammunition backorders valued in excess of $1 Billion.

Vista is just a shell. It’s Remington. They sell a ton of ammo. Just don’t consider quality as a priority or delivery.
That and the Military owns Vista.....

Oh.... the only thing Rossi needs to improve is that trigger. Maybe a little smithing can crisp it up a bit. Happy shootin

I can try looking again if they're not the right model, no problem. That first shop is located in NC so maybe you can even pick it up in person, if they really have it in stock.

I appreciate your help. I'm going to pay up for the boots.
Dec 18, 2020, 8:14 AM
|
|
They should be around $125-$130 bucks normally but I guess I will have to pay the mark up and extra shipping.
I am tempted to just step it up and get some Red Wings or Thorogood's since I'm getting close to the price of those anyway.
Anybody got opinions on a 6 " full grain leather soft toe boot with a goodyear welted and a dark sole?
