One reason you're not seeing them "instock" even at online dealerships is simply $. Having something "in stock" means they physically have it, and that means money is tied up in it, until it sells.
Many dealers won't tie up money in anything they don't think will sell rapidly, and something that may sit for several months before moving isn't attractive to them, and some won't keep things like that "in stock".
Right now, many folks are still waiting to see how the whole "brace/stock" thing finally shakes out, and how the current push to ban or further restrict "assault weapons" goes before purchasing an AR pistol, or anything else the GOVT seems likely to further restrict or even take away with a stroke of next week's pen....
