Refresh the page. Mine is showing $779.99 and the photo of the rifle is gone.

Refresh and still see it. Switch to Chrome still see the sale price and the picture.

It makes sense that the price would jump as the pre order pricing would end once they received their allotment. I'm thinking its more of a coincidence then anything.

OT... IMO, every one who panicked the last go round have either held onto their shit or sold it. Many that sold took a lost and I don't see them as being part of another panic with this particular event. Is it possible that some are in panic mode, I'm sure, but they are no where close to the numbers of panic buyers we've seen during Sandy Hook and pre election 2016.

I went to pick mine up this morning and 3 day hold. Guess I should stop procrastinating on that CHL.

Did they give reason for the hold??

Price still show $559.99 on my desktop.

Looks like they readjusted the price back down to 560$. It was 780 this morning for a brief time.

No, but my FFL said almost every transfer they had done the day before was delayed as well.

Not sure on the time frame you're refering, but is this before or after Las Vegas?

About 6 hours after. 9am Monday.

I'm just glad I got my LTC a while back. I have a green card, so buying guns was always an automatic 3 day delay.

You're a veteran and a national guard, you'd think they'd provide some exceptions for you.

I use to get delayed all the time, then it just stopped.
There are all sorts of reasons that the system kicks it over for further review I'm sure, however I'm willing to bet that one of the common reasons could simply be their system is just slow at times and if it takes more then X amount of time it's automatically passed on to a person to complete the review. And of course once that happens, you are now in line waiting on the next available operator to process your form.
In my case, I never had to wait more then 2 business days and most came back within 20 or 30 minutes when the FFL was able to stay on the line for me.

It has happened to me several times. I think it is mostly because I am born abroad. Just speculation though. More incentive for the CHL. I don't have much excuse for not getting one other than not being able to carry at work.

Just got the text that I have been cleared. I'll pick it up tomorrow.

Same here. I got used to carrying in other states that didn't require a formal training so I have been dragging ass on the CHL since I got back to Texas. I hate that I have to do a live fire portion after carrying in the USMC and for the last 4-5 years out of state

Don't worry, the live fire portion of the test is a joke. There was a lady that took the test with me and passed without having ever shot a gun before. You'll pass no problem. Also, LTC application fees are only 40$ right now. And since you're a veteran, I think the state has better pricing for you if not waive the fee altogether.

Finally got it. To bad my scope hasn't even shipped yet.

I could shoot it with no arms I just feel it’s useless if you are military or have had a license in another state. But I’m all signed up for later this month now. No sense in mebitching about it anymore

LOL, the range qualification is the only portion of the LTC class that is not boring. Anyway, I'm headed to the range this morning with my new AR556 MPR. I plan on firing about 20 rounds, then I'm going to switch out the BCG with a PSA BCG. I mounted a UTG Bugbuster on it. It was the only optic I have that wasn't attached to something else. I have a red dot on the way. Should be here Tuesday.

I was born abroad and used to have a TS clearance. Two things the gun counter commandos always told me lead to delays. I never got delayed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Getting back into the AR game, I just picked up a lower to start planning a mid-range build but for the money, this sure has been tempting me since they announced it. I just might shelve the build and get this. The lower certainly won't be going anywhere.

You are getting a ton of AR for the money. Totally worth it at $559
