Get back to me when you can answer that, because the way I see it, we have a flooded market.
We also have a flooded market in garbage poetry.......
That may be the source of all those firearm suicides....

New and unfired is a whole lot easier to prove on a box of 22' s than a NIB rifle.

The recent ammo/gun shortage opened up some odd opportunities.
I was in the local gun shop the other day to pick up some stuff for my crossbow and happened to spend a few minutes looking at guns.
I noticed that they had a pretty fair number of 22 rifles in stock. It makes sense - because they ran out of cheap 22 ammo last year. Guys won't buy a plinking rifle when ammo isn' t available. Not my problem - I have beaucoup 22 ammo.
So - I am going to pick up a Ruger 10/22 - polymer stock/stainless steel action (they have 4) - for $349 - well under the MSRP. It will replace my old one (blued/poly) I sold during the last shortage for $300.
