My point of view is that I already have all of the firearms that I "need", anything at this point is just wants and extras if I am being honest. Ammunition will be available at a reasonable price again and I'm willing to buy a firearm I don't have ammunition for and wait until things are...
I've been a long time lurker and finally decided to make an account. The wealth of knowledge posted on this site has been extremely valuable to me and I'm sure many others from the area. I want to thank you all for that and I look forward to learning more as well as contributing!
I second the SKS suggestion, while the $100 surplus days are over, you can still get them for much cheaper than an AR right now and they are a lot of fun to shoot.
