Are things calming down?

[PIRATE14]

Based on what was available at the Phoenix SAR show... uppers, complete rifles, mags, ammo, parts, etc. I would say supply is definetly beginning to meet demand. There was almost everything at the show that people are looking for these days. I even scored a Magpul UBR stock.

Were there parts there....yes....but only Model 1, some J&T, and DPMS....prices were elevated....

Now you could still walk around that show and put together a complete rifle....

Parts and such are still being delivered just not in big numbers...

As I have stated...it'll slow a little prior to XMAS but expect another surge after the New Year.....

I think things are calming down, but only because there is nothing left to buy. I still get e-mails, I am still getting a steady stream in the shop. I just have to turn a lot of them away because I have nothing left. None of the vendors in the California circles are having any better luck.

I'm new to this cite but here in Fresno, CA.....gun shops do not have much stock. Wether it be semi auto handguns, revolvers or semi-auto rifles, they are out! Ask them about ordering and they check their computers for stock amongst their dealers and there is nothing. I say this because Fresno, CA is the 5th largest city in CA now. Most of the prices are a little high but right in the ballpark. I agree the frenzy is slowing because there is nothing left to purchase. In fact in 1 day, the local shop I frequent had 4 mini 14's. Now, nothing! Seems like all the in demand items are gone and no ETA of replacing them!!

my 15 rebuild kits shipped from .44 mag yesterday!!!!

I didn't know mags broke that often! I've had mine for years and never needed spare parts.

Yankee Hill Machine is backordered 5800 upper receivers. That's not a typo, almost six thousand uppers.

Oly Arms, DPMS, CMMG, Del Ton, Stag, Double Star/JTD, etc are all quoting lead times like:

at least 6 months out
orders placed today are shipping maybe in May
you will get your order when you get your order. We aren't quoting delivery times anymore.

I have no parts in stock to build rifles. None. I can get lowers all day long but no other parts.

Olde West Gun & Loan (Redding Ca.) has 25 LOWERS commin in soon (Vulcan )

Does Rich have any uppers in stock or are they just peddling lowers?

Prices at the SAR show are like anything else...one guy is selling something for a normal/ deal price, the guy two tables down has the same thing for 4x's as much. Like I said, i got all kinds of things at the show that I needed for below normal internet retail prices. Everyone I bought from was dealing below the listed asking price. You just have to know what you are buying, look around for the best deal and ask if they can do better on the price. Works every time! There was nothing I went longing for at the show...even the elusive UBR stock.
