Yes there is a bit of a run going on.
I ordered the barrel for a build I have been working on right after the shooting and was told it would take extra time due to the high number of orders. My order wasn’t in reaction to it, but rather wanting to get it done.
As I posted in another thread it’s human nature for people to panic and buy what they normally wouldn’t during times like this. I suspect in this case, once things calm down a bit the demand will drop. I’m also hoping that after the last 8 years that this isn’t a full blown panic but rather a smaller blip.
I know while I’ve been slowly building up what I’d like to have I’m not fully there yet. If things go insane, I have what I need to protect my fami,y and some spares. So I can hold off if needed. I just hope that those who are looking to hoard and drive up prices in the hope of making big bucks don’t get what they wish. In fact, I hope anyone doing that loses a lot of money when things return to normal. And I hope that’s soon.
