Tariffs & gun prices

[wpod]

I didn't see another thread. If there is, disregard this one.
Are the tariffs on steel and aluminum going to cause the cost of some, if not most, firearms to increase?

If it causes scrap aluminum and steel prices to go up I don't see how it would not. That being said the raw material cost is very small for aluminum and steel for firearms.

As aspen eludes to above, the raw materials that go into a small arm are typically a very small part of the ultimate transfer cost of the gun to the consumer.
