Stephen, likely when current events which have pushed firearms, especially shotguns to a lower supply than the current demand. This is true for most firearms including shotguns at the moment. Shotguns are produced in lower numbers than rifles, which are produced in lower numbers than handguns. Shotgun supply is the hardest hit at the moment. Cheers and stay safe!

2nd "major panics" in 6 months. 1.7 million firearms sold in May. Manufacturers shut down for however long for covid. Things are backed up. It will take time for things to be "normal." Patience is a virtue.

Stephen, Stock on shotguns might be back to close to normal in a year or so. If you see something you like or want buy it. Might want to try the secondary and pre owned market. Check out used shotguns at gun shops and pawn shops.
