All I have time for today.

Prices seem to be the same as they were a couple of weeks ago.
 
This is really foolishness

The prices people are paying for 80% complete lowers is craziness. If you have a cnc lathe and can complete it yourself or have a friend with a lathe who will do it for you, you don't need to buy one 80% done because you can do the entire lower for much cheaper.

If not what are you going to do with it? A machine shop isn't going to finish milling it for you... that would be a violation of federal law.
 
A lathe won't help you finish an 80% AR lower.

You need a milling machine or sturdy drill press with a milling table.
 
Yeah somebody wanted that model 999 pretty badly. Buds gun shop has one on their site for $177.00 right now.
 
The gouge/inflated prices...... a great way to make the firearm hobby self destruct. Especially the indoor ranges. They might benefit from sales right now but nobody will be a weekly shooter at these prices.

Totally agree. I used to shoot 2x a week. Then it went to once a week. Then it went to every other week. Then it went to once a month. Now it's every other month and I won't go shooting again until I can replace what I shot. Ammo prices and range fees have pushed me out of their doors. Not their greed, per se, but the overall cost to shoot has gotten out of hand. I shoot between 250-350 rounds per session, most centerfire. It costs me between $75 to $90 including range fees to shoot. I am getting set up to reload but the costs still are getting out of hand. Gone are the days of stopping in at the range when you had a few spare minutes. The ranges and small shops will suffer a great deal considering they can't get any guns to sell and ammo prices are thru the roof and they get in limited supplies right now. How will they survive a prolonged shortage and/or ban or restrcition?
 
I still shoot. I just have to shoot whatever ammo i can get my hands on, whether that be 9mm (unlikely) or .22 or 12 gauge target loads. the prices are nuts but i don't blame the sellers. it is what it is i strongly believe they have the right to ask whatever price they see fit.
 
Colt 6920s are starting to slow; selling at the $1900 to $2100 mark again (they reached a high of $3000 for the vanilla $1100 version). Watched several with bids still not sell because reserves ($2400 and up) weren't met; watched others with similar reserves get zero bids and close.

Hope the tide's actually beginning to recede...
 
The rifles I've been searching have come down under the 2x mark (still solidly over 1.5x though). There are still some people high-balling over 2x with "GET IT NOW BEFORE YOU CAN'T!!!" listings, but they aren't selling. The most amazing aspect is the quantities available for sale... maybe 2 or 3 (at most) of a particular rifle pre-panic, now 15+ examples available for purchase on any given day. Lots of these seem to be private sales of "lightly used" rifles.
 
I think that part of the reason we are not seeing stores re-stocked is that the Manufacturers are holding back stock to prevent their prices from plummeting. In a course of a few weeks the market was inundated with probably a years worth of inventory... If the restock now at MSRP the used prices are gonna fall well below that and then pull their MSRP down due to a lack of demand.
 
Last evening, I saw a "bucket of 22" ammo on gun broker SELL for over 200.00. This is the same ammo, Remington Bucket O' Bullets, .22 LR, 1400 Rounds, that on sale was 47.00 on Black Friday. .223 going for over a DOLLAR a round in bulk? WOW!!!

Guess people have more money than I do. Morning Express said tickets to the super bowl costing more than a new car! I can watch it at home for free.

Guess you can't fix stupid.... well I guess you can, but currently it is illegal.
 
Rem pumps are skyrocketing!

There is one currently up to $1500. Can't wait to see the "down-to-the-wire" sniping on this! Gonna have my Orvilles ready for that suspense! Funny how these are coming out of the woodwork all of a sudden. :)

Wonder if they're being bid on by those NY people who said they would never buy one ? :neener:
 
Does this mostly indicate that, if we EXclude ARs, AKs and other semi-auto sport utility guns, most people with the cash to buy what they want have Already bought it?

Ammo prices have already come down, and in the last few days, people saw lots of
(Russian?) 7.62x39 ammo in a retail store.
A week ago there were plenty of ammo choices at the gun show by Memphis.

I headed for the door after about 10 minutes, trying not to laugh out loud at the wide ammo selections, at such ridiculous prices that it might explain why so much ammo was on tables at 1:00 PM.
 
I won't mention the company name but...We had two Bushmasters on the table last Saturday at the Houston show for 855 each. A small crowd was standing there gawking until two of them whipped out the cash and bought em. We had folks for 3 hours asking where the cheap Bushmasters were.

Romanian wasr's seem to be cooling off, there are asking prices up to 1400 but seem like they are going for half that...
