Prices Went Up!

I don't have a need for any large capacity clips but I've had several newsletters from various gun dealers who I've dealt with stating that they are running out of clips, and large caliber ammo, and recommending that you get on a waiting list if you want any.

 

last week I bought another Stag 2TL, 2500rds of 5.56 and 15 30 rd Magpul mags for exactly that reason.

 

Rising prices are at least partly due to the rising costs in metals and due to huge demand of firearms and ammo.

The prospects of Obama becoming president and a majority Dem congress have a lot of people very concerned.

 

I too have noticed an increase in prices, both locally and online. I've been waiting to pick up a few pieces to put away, just in case

There are a few links that I frequent for parts and kits, and I have noticed that a few have already raised prices, for whatever reason.

It would be too easy to point at the scare of the elections, increase in metal prices, decrease in oil prices, insert excuse here [ ], but the fact is there are some out there who have upped the anty.

But then again, that's what CAPITALISM is all about, right? Sad...but true.

But after all the OT I've done recently, we should be getting a decent bonus check in the next week or so. With that, Christmas might be coming a little early to Slo's house Or....the boss might be eye-balling the rest of the appliances she wants to replace in the kitchen

Well...the elections are this week, so for those who think it might be coming....don't wait too long. Just do me a fav...leave me some, ok?

Haven't noticed an increase, in fact the ammo prices have come down slightly in the last couple of weeks. Metals have been headed down in price, probably the reason. Of course the panic buying will drive it back up after this evening. Demand will go up, as will the prices even though the new admin can have no effect until after Jan next year. But look out after that. Better get all you can now, cause they will definitely go up then. Was probably an opportunist dealer at the gun show. I am all about the capitalism, but there is such a thing as gouging too. Good move buying the, anyway, buy what you can afford.

I bought Some ..23 TRU ammo from Cheaper Than Dirt on 10/20 for $14.59 a box and it is now $29 a box.

 

I am inclined to agree, except that will still leave Biden with too much time on his hands and we ALL KNOW he still has his first few drafts of AWB 1 on his hard drive somewhere.

But, I don't expect AWB 2 to hit the press in Feb either....

 

transporting ar

what are u going to do when the law eventually changes that you cannot transport any ar 15, even to the rifle range to have fun?

 

Break the rifle down into separate parts and thereby transport components and not a firearm.

However, I don't think this will ever come into play outside of the obvious occupied terror-tories like Kali, NY & NJ.

Cops have better things to do than wonder whether I am driving down the street with an AR-15 in my trunk. The sheer magnitude of what it would take, manpower wise, would make such an undertaking far to time consuming, cost prohibitive and that doesn't even involve all the paperwork necessary after the fact.

I wouldn't sweat it....

 

It won't come to that HOPEFULLY!

 

If you notice, the current AWB reauthorization is all tagged by Republicans. The Democrats learned the hard way last time what happens. I don't see the AWB being an issue til after 2010.

The Democrats will want to be sure they have power still and they know that chasing guns when the economy is tanked is a dumb move. All the crap you see right now is panic buying, nothing more.
