I hope this is a good sign throughout the rest of the country. Prices are reasonable as well, in the low 1K range as well as few under 1k. They even have Pmags in stock, but the price on the mags were not pleasing at all.
Look at the gun shelf

That's great!
I think the .22 rimfire ammo will be the last to show up.

Yes - that and M&P .22 magazines. I haven't seen either in months!
The Market is Saturated. When you start selling something to the public, eventually unless it is a consumable, you sell all you can sell. I expect to see prices really drop. Still cant get any ammo to speak of, when it is cheap and plentiful it gets used up. From what I have been able to find out is that some companies that contracted from the Ammo Manufactures directly are getting it. The rest of us will be able to buy guns, cheap guns, but with no ammo the government is just going to sit and wait until the extra ammo out there is shot up.
I am waiting for the "deep discount" on a LMT Monolithic LOL

I meant State
A couple of months ago I would have agreed the market is saturated. Ammo was easy to find and ar's lined the walls. Now everywhere I look ammo shelves are empty and the only ar's I see are the cheapest base models and a few high $2k and up pieces. I managed to find my T model at a small town pawn shop sitting all alone next to some.22's. No doubt though that demand will eventually drop along with prices but I would think that right now, in my area atleast, prices are still on the rise. Atleast that's my rationale explaining to the wife why I should go ahead and get one. 
That and ther worry that if some states do start banning them supply vs demand will only get worse as people start shopping out of state.

I wonder what the name of the shop is? Is it a box store or chain? It would be nice to walk in a shop with a selection like that to choose from.

Its just a LGS, no big name at all. They have always had 10 or so on the shelf. The thing is we live down here in the south, most of us around here already have several evil black rifles. So lots of then stay on the shelf for some time. Pmags, i dont think anyone could ever have enough of. Maybe thats why the prices on them are so high, IMO.
Best part about my shopping experience there today, besides seeing all the weapon. .22LR was $17 a brick of 525. But they had a limit of 10. I guess I have plenty of ammo for hunting those racoons now.

About the same here. Everyone already has what they want or wanted. Ammo is so-so but keeps trickling in. PMags don't sit too long and are about that same price. ONLY because they are hard to get. It's that limited "mag scare" thing. I have what I want. But like you said,you can never have too many

LMAO, I was about to ask myself "***". Until i thought a little harder on it and realized what you were getting at.
I surely hope Pmags weren't $30 a piece on that day.
Boudin: You couldnt give me anything with a RedJacket logo on it. And if you did, id use it for target practice immediately. Vince (former employee of RedJacket) now owns his own company in Baton Rouge. He does much better work than Will and any of his new guys could ever imagine doing.

Why not ... if it is Red Jacket you KNOW it is gonna be a "game changer" ... LMAO !!!
M&P AR's for less than $800 and bricks of .22 for $17? 
Is there a yellow brick road leading to these finds? A scarecrow opening the doors?
I haven't seen a brick of .22 ammo in so long I'm wondering if they ever really existed...
