22LR Ammo Market at a Tipping Point?

I haven't fired my 22 in more than a year.

4 million rounds is 8,000 boxes of 500 rounds.
Assuming an equal shipment of boxes to each state, (not realistic)
that's 160 boxes per state.
That's not very many.
I know for a fact that when they can get it my WalMart gets 60 boxes at a time and they rarely last the day.
160 boxes wouldn't supply 3 Walmarts, much less an entire state.

Yes.

Although, he said that CCI alone produces 4 million rounds a day, not that 4 million total rounds are collectively produced for the US market.

I've seen an incline in availability lately as well.

I'm currently sitting on the decision to pick one up...maybe in a couple weeks.

They are a lot of fun. My GSG MP5 clone was so much fun to shoot. I'd like to get another on someday soon. I have a kick-but Savage bolt rifle that is wicked accurate.

That's funny; I was looking at the GSG some time ago. Also saw the HK MP5/22 for a good price recently (sub $350). They definitely look like a blast to take out.

Most deffinitly! They have zero recoil, super light triggers, look and feel very nice. I used to get a lot of looks after a mag dump at the range. LoL

As much as I loved the GSG, if/when I get another, I would like to get the HK pistol version, SBR it, and toss both a collapsible stock and a suppressor on it.

Marc, take a look...HK MP5 22 for $299, including collapsible stock, down from $499.
