Does anyone know why it appears that Cheaper Than Dirt no longer has guns on their website? Did I do something wrong on my search?

I hear from another forum that they have suspended firearm sales for the time being. Not sure why????
CTD, Dick's Sporting Goods, and a number of other retailers did pull guns from their retail displays and web sites. Hypocritically, CTD doubled their AR magazine prices as well!
Some have gone from 20-25 per mag...to $60. Don't think I want to do business with this kind of ....stuff.
In my opinion, CTD has always been kind of a sleazebag vendor. They are notorious for bumping prices dramatically any time there is a shortage of something. I stopped dealing with them back in 2001.
I don't do much with them either since they tried to charge me double for shipping because it was coming from 2 different warehouses. I told them that wasn't my problem and cancelled to order. I guess I am done with them all together now.

A whole lot of that going on! Turner's sent out an apology today for not pulling a scheduled ad that featured a Bushmaster for sale. I guess they appeared too insensitive.
It also appears that while CTD is not selling firearms, they are selling high capacity mags and have doubled the price. Nice.
I suspect that we'll be vexed with the same problems getting high capacity mags that we had after the 1994 ban. I am certainly glad that I have enough right now for all my weapons.bigdogdaddy said:
A tip for y'all: If you're interested in service rifles and accessories for them, go to Fulton Armory. They are the folks that built my basic AR-15. They have parts and accessories in stock that are rapidly disappearing elsewhere.
Thanks Skip! I'll check them out. All the "spooky stories and rumors" are landing pretty quickly now 
I read on the other forum that Cheaper Than Dirt has started selling firearms again after some changes. I smell a rat here.

I see Fulton Armory's website and phonelines are now non operational. What's up with that? The website says it's so they can process current orders. Things are getting kinda strange since the S H thing. ???
I suspect that they got "discovered" as an untapped source for AR stuff and got hit hard with orders. I presume that I was just quite lucky to find what I did when I did and at prices that were normal for them before the crunch.iacountryboy said:
When I bought my LCR .38 sp, there was about 20% of what I have seen previously at my LGS. It will be interesteing to see how long it will take to get back up to as it was. Guess we all gotta wait and see what the feds decide now. Gonna be an interesting year....
