You guys are right though, they are rakin it in hand over fist and prices will not be down any time soon if at all.

If Obama does not go gun grabbing right away the "EBR bubble" will burst and prices will come tumbling down.

Dealers are crazy right now, they are also no better then car salesmen. I saw them sell a no frills pre-ban Colt AR-15 for over two grand the other day. Talking to the guy behind the counter he said prices are up on everything because of Obama. When I asked him what they were paying for pre-ban ARs as I know of a couple I could but for half what they want he tells me $400-$600. I can't figure out how the heck they have so many in stock when they are paying next to nothing for them. Don't people see the price tags on the rack and figure out they are being ripped off? He says they can't pay more because of the "volatility", the prices might drop any day. That's the exact opposite of what he told the guy he just butt raped for two grand.

I don't think so. Dealers have seen what people are willing to pay. There has been no volume loss... I just don't see it dropping off anytime soon.

yep look at the prices for AR mags and stripped lowers; some dealers have doubled the price but yet people still put out the cash for them. $40+ for 30 round pmag? No thanks.

Don't you think it's the fear that pushes people to buy. "OH no the ban is coming, everyone, buy as many firearms and ammo as you can before it's too late!" And it's working pretty well for them so far.

im glad i got my stuff when i did, though i wish i had got another steel AK mag when they were $12.

It is right now yes, and to be frank it is not an unfounded fear when you look at the track records of the people who are about to take office, but that is beside the point. It is now a fear driven market yes, but when the fear subsides the prices might not. I hope they do, but I am not holding my breath. It might just be what these things are gonna cost from now on.

LOL, I hear ya there. I can hardly find 5.56 AK mags period, let alone at a halfway reasonable price

I have seen a HUGE boom starting about october... but now... it really is crazy.
I thought I was bad about hoarding stuff. I know guys who have 50k+ rounds of ammo, and hundreds of AR mags.


I am not too worried about an outright gun ban, what I and a bunch of my co workers are worried about are...

High taxes on ammo

magazine restrictions (reinstatement of the assault weapons ban)

required serial numbers on bullets

anti gun nuts going after lead lobbying to make it become a hazerdous material.

in other words... all the little things that they can do that isnt technically taking away our guns... but making it near impossible to ever use them.

Funny that you talk about the lead of bullets as hazerdous material. I work part time in a lead decontamination lab lol But it is the army's soil so it is actualy normal that it has a very high concentration of lead.

Its not just the thought of some ban.

I tried to buy a LEVER ACTION 45/70 (Marlin 1895) and the prices are up $200+ over where they were a year ago. Model 1895 is not just a made up number, while these are improved and built stronger they operate similarly to the guns made then, and well before then.

Funny how gun control works today, huh?

Did you know that an AWB was proposed this year by REPUBLICAN Mark Kirk of IL. He represents the district south of mine. Needless to say, I immediately withdrew my support for the man.
