Why the run on AR stuff but not handguns?

CraigC · Dec 20, 2012

Now is the time to be patient. Don't get caught up in all the Chicken Little foolishness.

Why the run on AR stuff but not handguns?

Probably because the most likely weapons to be banned (if there is a ban enacted in the near future) are "assault weapons" like the AR. Most people are assuming that AR's are at a higher risk of being banned than handguns.

You'd think that with everyone blowing their money on AR's, there will be less of a demand for handguns and other types of guns so the prices of those should drop a bit.

I own a LGS and demand is for all guns. Reloading supplies are a little elevated, we can still get components.

As for firearms, we are buying what we can get, not necessarily what we want.

We have not changed a single price tag. But we are sourcing through alternate channels and in those channels our costs tend to be higher.

We have had several teachers buy small guns. The use was not explained to us, but god bless them in their endeavours.

dang. I should seriously consider selling a box. $1k for regular surplus would nearly quarduple my investment. not bad!

Then again, I have a "bit" of fear that the ammo supply will dry up - slightly. the round's too popular for them to ban it entirely - but dang - this is looking worth some thought.

Phatty,

That's what I've been looking for. Some deals on what I want to open up as people change the focus of their buying. Suppose this is a combination of new gun owners and previous gun owners. Saw a lot of "Hipster" types at a recent gun show.

All they have to do is enact legislation like a lot of countries where the civilian populace cannot own or use cartridges that the military uses - makes all those ARs obsolete overnight

breakingcontact · Dec 20, 2012

Those countries don't have our Constitution. Suppose we need politicians and judges that respect and understand the Constitution as well though.

GTG on everything but .22 lr, have like 37k in primers and 75 #'s in powders. GOD help us in 2016!

shooter_from_show-me · Dec 20, 2012

Wow, the 5 Magpul pmags sold for $515 plus another 20 in shipping. But if I had the resources I too would sell of stuff at a huge profit to fund other things. But alas what I have I need.

breakingcontact · Dec 20, 2012

I'm hoping these 5 mags for $500 type sales are an anomaly even if current prices have more than doubled.

Trent · Dec 20, 2012

I'll keep checking evil black rifles and ammo for them daily for a while, posting the results here. See how this trends.

BK · Dec 20, 2012

On Tuesday there was a seller that had Pmags at $16 each.

His are all gone now and the current auctions are pretty crazy.

Wow. I've got a bunch of Brownell mags still in wrapper. Tempting...

I just bought six PMag Gen 3's a week ago, literally the day before this happened. I really don't want to sell them, but times are tough for me. Must stay strong.

Trueno · Dec 20, 2012

I sold an extremely nice Type-3 AK kit on GB a little over a week ago, barrel was in excellent shape, it lasted just under 6 hours before the buyer hit the Buy-it-Now button.

Doing another gunshow here in Texas this coming weekend, already got one AK sold in advance to a dealer, bringing 3 more along with it to see what happens.

The way Feistein's bill is written now you wouldn't be able to sell after the ban (legally) as that would be a transfer and possession after the law takes effect.

Which means a AR or 30 rd mag would be worth zero on the open market. From $2000 now to $0 then

Actually the way her bill is written the way I am seeing it you couldn't even give them away or pass them down to your family as that still would be a transfer and possession..

KevininPa · Dec 20, 2012

Old lady Feinstien (sp? who cares! Hate the broad anyway.)...

....really can't say much about me handing things down when I pass away.

"Actually the way her bill is written the way I am seeing it you couldn't even give them away or pass them down to your family as that still would be a transfer and possession.. "

She'll be dead long before me. I'll be too dead to sign the transfer papers. Anyway, back to checking Saiga prices. It's quite the form of amusement for me these days.

1000 rds. 5.56 > $700

For that price why wouldn't someone just order the Black Hills 52 or 68 gr. Match HP from Midway? It would cost the same, it's in stock, and you would even have decent ammo to shoot.

Cranky CJ · Dec 20, 2012

got enough brass, primers, bullets and powder to last me for about 3 years. started gathering up all my stuff well over a year ago.

not even close to what shooter from show me has stocked up, but I too am GTG.....

I will say this, I checked the prices, on GB, of the AR I have it is more than doubled what I paid for it three months ago.....tempting.....

Cranky CJ · Dec 21, 2012

What transfer papers???? are people talking about???????

Ignition Override · Dec 21, 2012

If any future bill only bans specific features but doesn't ban certain types of guns, lots of people will be stuck with overpriced, and in many cases unwanted guns, as happened after the '08 election.

Lots of people had extra Christmas money tied up in guns which were sold at a loss.

Nah. The case neck gets lengthened 1mm and we're good to go. Or ARs just get reamed to .222 Rem Mag and bullets are seated a little deep. Plenty of ways around that one.

Of course, I don't know how you get millions of ARs or BILLIONS of rounds/cases of 5.56mm out of circulation.........
