It's at like a $30 markup over pre-COVID pricing, but in stock without an FFL fee.
There was never really a need for home security that I couldn't already do with my AR, I didn't think they were fun to shoot, and I hadn't wanted to do any waterfowl hunting so the utility of them was lost on me. In January when I started really thinking in terms of worst case scenarios for the pandemic, I decided that I should finally get a shotgun but made the mistake of budgeting my gun purchases for later in the spring. By the time I had enough to buy both a handgun and a shotgun outright, 9mm was no longer available and the only shotguns which didn't sell out immediately were Turkish budget guns or $500+ ones that were overkill for my needs. I've been waiting for months to pounce on a Maverick 88 or a Mossberg 500 and finally I'll have one just in time for it to be too cold outside to shoot.
Good shit -- I've been looking for a shotgun that cheap.
