What's up with the shortage of AR parts?

Personally, I find a 1-4x scope is more versatile. YMMV. You might like the magnifier red dot combo better.

. I bought a Bushel AR 1-4x scope with illuminated reticle, and I've been happy with it so far. You can use it out to 4x, but at 1x, with the reticle as max brightness you can use it like a red dot. Kinda cool.

Looking at that Bushnell scope. Some good reviews and killer sales going on. Really hadn't thought of going that direction but was looking at some side by side reviews and it came out pretty good. Not as fast target acquisition as a red dot because of field of view, but still respectable with more versatility. Learning more every day.

My next AR will have the Aimpoint Patrol Pro on top. Already have an ACOG TA-01 on the 20" version, time for a red dot.

For the money its a good scope. Glass isn't much to brag about but usable. What optic you get should be based on what you want the rifle for. Versatility really does call for a 1-4 IMO though. Red dots for something mostly dedicated to close quarters.

Ordered the scope for $139 from Midway. Was also able to find a BCM charging handle in stock at Integrity Arms and Survival, <broken link removed> .
Haven't been able to find them in stock anywhere else.

Update. My part will be in by next week.

Good choice. I love their charging handles. The rear sight on my .308 covers the CH, so that latch makes it easier to use.

I bought a Rock River trigger a month ago, still haven't seen it yet.

I've been trying out this 1x6x30 Barska and it's working good so far. Had the combination of features I wanted, reviews were mixed, we'll see how it holds up. There is another model I almost bought, 1x6x35mm but it was heavy @ 2 lbs.

Complete uppers from http://palmettostatearmory.com/ar-15-05.html
Are IMHO the way to go. Fantastic value and no issues so far (I have 2)

I like the Del-Ton kits too

The Thordsen Customs enhanced AR pistol cheek rest is FINALLY available! Looks like all colors enhanced AND standard models. Ive been waiting about a month checking the site every day for product updates.

If you want one, buy one ASAP.. These sold out within 36-48 hours, last time I missed the last window.

Maybe they'll have more in stock then last time, but either way they sell fast.

If anyone is waiting on Faxon for the 16" GUNNER barrel, they plan on having a batch out to distributors in about 2 weeks.

The reason for the shortage?
Same reason as the .22 shortage, supply and demand.
