More firearms in the shops, but most places are asking prices above MSRP. Found a new Henry H001L carbine and the shop wanted $449.95 for it. Henry's MSRP is $419.95. In a pawn shop nearby I found a used Henry H001 in fair condition and they were asking $399. As for ammo, some rifle ammo is showing up on the shelves and also some 9mm but prices are still very high. One shop had some small & large rifle primers, some shotgun primers and he had less than 1000 between the three. No pistol primers anywhere

This June, there were 1,279,300 background checks for the sale of a gun, that explains a little.

Thanks for the info GunnyGene!

It also helps explain the ammo situation, if we take a guess that a new firearm purchase would normally include at least one box of ammo - anywhere from say 20 rnds to 500rnds per purchase, depending on caliber and potential training class requirements and/or personal proficiency desires for some percentage of buyers, among other factors.
