Panic Buying Gone Crazy

[norcal_patriot]

A buddy of mine reported Sacramento Black Rifle had Spike's lowers that were $100 a couple weeks ago, now $400


IMHO, it's BS that the shops are capitalizing off this with greed. I mean we will always support the firearm industry no matter the circumstances, why rape us now? Their volume has exploded, why the need for 200-500% profit margins too? /rant

I guess when it comes down to it, we gun owners have to look out for each other. The gun companies and shop owners are all stabbing us in the back.

I was at turners today and they mentioned getting palmetto lowers for $130 or something next week.

I was gonna jump on the wagon as a good excuse to get another gun, but prices are way out of line.

TDS had 2 AR's on the wall, one was pink and the other was painted silly, both were $1500. I went to Wild sports and they had a DPMS for $1500.

I guess don't need one that bad. Waiting for the 27th to get my 338 out of jail

May check out Cordova Range

NFA LW-15 AR15 Poly Complete Lower Receiver x2 - starting bid $1,599.95, buy it now $2,399.95

This is just unreal. The same poly lowers I bought for $90 each on Black Friday.

don't laugh..someone PM'd him; either interested in buying from him or to tell him "kiss my @#$ for trying to price gouge..

My LGS sells 30rd PMAG rebuilds for $14 normal price. Yesterday they were up to $30

[hellayella]

Even with these prices guys, and the newbs buying Ar's at inflated prices...this is GOOD for our cause.

The more guns in the hands of buyers, the better for all of us. More interest in the 2nd Amendment is AoK! This is backfiring on the liberals who exploited the tragedy.

you are wrong bro...just becuase there's a spike in people buying guns does not automatically correlate in the amount of active participants that will try to defend the 2nd Amendment once the anti-gunners start dropping the anvil..Get real, bro...

[timmyb21]

Considering selling my franken ar for 2k$. Any takers? (Not really, I needs it.)

[dre147]

what good is all these first time buyers going crazy for a AR spending 2 to 3x what its worth if they cant get ammo for it?

[animossity]

Lodi gunstore today had a couple 30 round PMAGS, when he told me they are 60$ a piece I walked out. IMO the shops doing this are scumbags and shouldn't fall and give in to this bull****.

Saw that posted last night, if it was the same auction, start bid was $5k and "buy now" was $10k... there were no bids at that point.

I built my first AR about this time last year and bought two additional stripped lowers for future builds... pretty happy I did all that when I did right now. Hopefully this will settle down in a few months-- anyone want to take a guess on when we might see prices go back to normal and stock on shelves?
