Big deal. But then again, if they quit making them....you'll be lucky to get one for under 10 grand.... |

Used to cost $500 before CT shooting for the 1000 round pack you bought. $300 was 55 grain FMJ. Yes a higher twist ratio like 1:7 would do better with those heavier rounds. |

Kirk User ID: 25384388 United States 12/25/2012 01:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here's the real shit storm of it. The dumb asses have emptied the shelves at a time when the manufacturers are slowing production, waiting to see what the new rules will be. No AR maker is going to keep production at full speed ahead if the guns they make may not be sellable due to new laws. What would they do with 2000 partially manufactured AR's? So they have actually slowed manufacturing so they don't lose their asses if these guns are outlawed again. Quoting: RF 1287633 what this means is that there is no inventory to re-supply those empty shelves! In other words' now the gun stores are cleaned out and can't get new inventory to re-fill their shelves. Right now they're looking at a wad of cash and no inventory and are being told 30-90 days to get new guns.. Guess how many gun shops will go out of business over the next 30-90 days? Ruger had already stopped taking new orders because they couldn't keep up with demand, now it will take years for them to catch up. But with the prospect of losing millions in partially assembled and now illegal AR's they are in no hurry to boost production. the gunnies screwed themselves by 1) buying all inventory in the US and hoarding it, and 2) making themselves look like the lunatics the left claims they are. my opinion may be biased because I was told in november that I would be receiving a year end bonus and my plan was to buy my first AR with the money.. Now I can't because they're too expensive and there are now no magazines or bullets either. So society screwed me. If they come for you the only way to survive is not be home, Forget the rifle. Government is a body largely ungoverned. |

Quoting: RF 1287633 probably payed a good price for hollow points. I'd sell them for $2000! I got them a few days after that last shooting when everyone was posting on GLP about it selling out.. UPS man looked jealous when he dropped them off lol not interested in selling them though.. good as gold now it seems ;) 1000 rounds used to be $150 and if you know which bar code to scan on the case (they have two, one for the case, one for a box of booolets) and the cashier scans the box bar code you could get a case for $16 hehe |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 10401141 United States 12/25/2012 01:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So OP got panicked and decided he wanted to buy an AR before they get banned. THinking that he's the only one with that thought... And got all surprised when the demand widely outweighs the supply all of a sudden. If I have a buyer that wants to pay me 2500 bucks for a rifle, I'd have to be as stupid as OP to sell it for 600 to someone else. We keep talking about how mentally defective people shouldn't have guns. I'd say someone that doesn't understand supply and demand falls into that category. |

I am a seasoned AK guy and bought mine years ago. Now what I see is the hypocrisy of people and businesses that complain about always get shafted by this government tax or so and so screwed me purposely on this deal . Things here in America are far from the SHTF scenerios imagined on this site , yet we see people binge buying for the sole purpose of re-selling at a huge markup to the guy who can least afford it there are literally 1,000s of ar's and the like being resold right now at apocalyptic here we come prices. In fact in many gun stores they have restricted purchasers to one per day. Mags included. I am not saying we should have price controls or anything like that . My point is this- gun owners as a whole are acting like douches to their fellow countryman and the sad part it is the people, that know little to nothing about the gun world ,that are getting butt raped by their fellow man. Thank The Lord that our forefathers didn't act this way at the beginning of the rebellion our they would have had the bulk of our troops using sticks , stones and harsh words to fight the British , just Because some shmucks decided that profit was greater than freedom.

Chrit User ID: 27088294 United States 12/25/2012 03:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Get used to it, just the threat alone is enough for people to stock up. Can make some real money if they do institute the ban again. When the ban kicked in last time I was getting 100 bucks for a 50 round clip for the 10/22, a clip I paid less than 20 bucks for. It was not people robing each other it was the fact you could no longer buy the clips new anymore, limited supply with high demand. We used to pay 100 bucks for SKS’s , prices went to over $500+ after the last ban. Double arm trigger pre-ban AK 47’s went to 1200+ paid less than 300 for them . Better to over stock then be short what you need when you need it. Last Edited by Chrit on 12/25/2012 03:07 PM I'm only human, it's my biggest flaw.
