Ammo and Magazine Prices After Sandy Hook

[SamSepiGunnerz54]

Is it true that ar15 mags were being bought for $100 a mag?

I didnt buy that much ammo after the shooting i just waited it out.

I do remember a basic ar15 like the MP 15 sport was being bought for $2,000.

What was your most expensive purchase during the panic?

Pmags were going for about 40-60 a pop. Quality BCGs were gold too.

[The Gleam]

Yes, and it's just as true that high-capacity Glock and AR-15 magazines were being bought for $100 a mag back in 1999 too, and pre-ban (i.e., prior to 1994 but still legal to sell in CA) ARs, AKs, SIG rifles, HK41/HK-91, G93, FN FAL clones (not on Roberti-Roos by name) and so on were being bought for $2,000 or more at that time.

That came back just after Sandy Hook because as most will recall, the Democrats in Congress were bleating for a new ban on such guns and they were getting a nod from Obama at the time of acceptance.

I spent about 200 bucks for a FailZero bcg and 430 for a psa premium upper during the beginning stages of the rush. What really bummed me out was selling a yugo sks right before that tragedy happened. It was chaos. I do remember seeing 100 pmags and they were sold out. Crazy times.

I was buying and selling standard capacity mag kits for AR-15s, Glocks and Berettas before Sandy Hook; buying bulk boxes of parts and piecing together "parts kits" and reselling on CL other sites for $15. The week before Sandy Hook, I had just taken delivery of two huge boxes of mag parts and begun separating them into kits. The first I sold after the murders went for $40 each, then immediately jumped to $80 ($75 for multiples). I ran out in less than 2 weeks, and my source disappeared. I had about $800 in the boxes and ended up with almost $15k out of it.

I had ONE guy decide not to buy because, even though he knew parts kits were still legal to purchase/own/etc., I looked like a cop and he was afraid of getting busted.

Damn!!! Lucky you. I wish i bought that much and resold them

[John Browning]

I sold a 550 pack of Win Wildcat .22 for...$150.

If you aren't buying now then you are a fool.

yep.

with 2020 elections coming up, and the D's trying all their hardest to get Trump eliminated from even running. it is gonna be a crazy next year for gun related sales/inventory.

buy it now and get ready to potentially ride out 4 years of an anti-gun president.

Somebody post up the Cheaper than Dirt screen shot of the $130 AR magazine. Show him why we don’t give them our money.

Freedom week in April '19 was awesome.

'nuff said on that topic.

And, Always Be Buying Ammo (or building it).

I dont blame them. Nothing wrong with capitalism. Supply and demand.

They is nothing wrong with making a profit.
