I think we'll see the ammo shortage continue for quite some time still.

Beyond the urge to "stock up" (hoard in some cases), is the fact that hundreds of thousands of NEW firearms are being sold (back-ordered). Naturally, new gun sales equates to a need for ammo. Not much is available now....so it stands to reason that unless manufacturers step up production (they aren't) the shortage will continue until the market absorbs all it wants.

Yes, some common cartridges (mainly pistol) will eventually settle down some.....but I would expect to see certain rifle cartridges (especially .223/5.56) continue to be scarce for the next year or so. Many thousands of folks are on a 4-12 month waiting list for AR15 rifles/parts/variants right now.

Time will tell.....but my prediction is that prices will remain elevated and supply will be "spotty" through the end of this year if not longer.

I hope I am wrong.

He claims that it should subside soon, but offers no facts, or reasoning on why he believes this is so.

It won't be ending anytime soon folks.
