Just before SH, I was pondering a DPMS in .243 , didn't find what I was looking for until a week after SHTF, so I paid $1400 for a NIB plain-Jane model
I paid $36 a box of 1000 for large and small rifle primers, (which now dosent seem THAT insane)
Bought 3-extra G21, 13-round mags for about $12 more than what they USED to sell for off the shelf
About a month ago I bought 3#'s of Varget @ $29 each , which does not seem so bad considering it cannot be found anywhere for under $70 a pound now
Amazingly though during all this madness, I found my Gen4 Glock 21 at my local Fleet farm for $549 , and then got another $25 off for opening a FF-credit card account, with 6-months 0% interest (which I paid off right away)
Went back in there last weekend, and they had a Mossberg 500 "just-in-case" 12ga that I have been considering, so I grabbed that, and wouldn't you know, that big PVC-tube the shotgun comes in holds all my chronograph and tripod equipment (bonus)
