always a good idea to have a field repair or armorers kit on hand!

if they were, the small supply of 300 BLK would go away!

Yeah. Good point. I'd like to think the supply would just get bigger, but I think we have observed reality for long enough to know how that would go, at least for a few years.

This contract was given to Remington in April 2012, they should be on track to deliver the last 7xx in July this year. I would think that the glut of parts over the past couple of years should be coming to a close within a few more months. Time will tell.
