Maybe not outlawing them, but I'm in favor of reasonable bag limits and responsible herd management.
And just think - their ivory is domestic, and not imported. Everybody wins.

I originally had a giant block of text I was going to post for my thoughts on the subject, suffice it to say I realized it would be tl;dr so to sum up my thoughts, the market will fare as the political flag blows, or as the pendulum swings.
With prices dropping on new Uppers plus the addition of free BCGs the used market is going to take a pretty big hit. It was already a buyer's market on the used side, and now I can't even imagine the deals we'll start to see on the EE.
I paid 3.5 for a scar....worth every penny...lol.
I put some Pmags on gunbroker during one of the "panics" just to see what would happen. I got about 4 times what I paid for them.
Do I feel bad? I started the auctions at $1 with free shipping.
I do not feel bad.
Looks like it's time to buy a few 6920s
Op - tnx for the heads up!! I'm ordering my bday gift.....
If one were to get ready for the next sellers market, what would get the best return? Im leaning to getting more lowers. If I had a lot of space I'd probably get pmags since they don't need to be registered
What a difference a week makes. Unbelievable deals are showing up. BCM offering not only a free BCG but a free BCM Mod "0" compensator installed with their uppers. Example:

My Gawd! Just $400 for all that. It's crazy out there. Buy what you can. This is one of those rare moments where opportunity knocks. Answer the friggin door! :blink:
And if you're happy with it, crack on!
That is a good bit more than I would spend but I know several who are often moret han willing to buy at the moment than wait. Even if it just means ordering something. Me... I tend to be patient with my gun purchases, both due to time and money(lack there of). But if you have the money and really want it...Who cares what you paid! Ended up with a Cosmo blem BCM, and just bought a BCM BCG for it. Am in it about what one of their uppers would cost me currently, but I would rather have the one I have and not have to deal with the BCM brake personally. But, I am militantly opposed to brakes on fighting guns so.... lol. But in the end, the ~50-60 dollars that I might have saved is pretty much irrelevant to me in the long run. It going to get run, and shot, and used and pick up more scratches and marks. But, seeing quality manufacturers breaking into the price ranges of much lower quality products.... I wonder if we might see a greater proliferation of quality builds on the market. I mean, getting bang for the buck is getting somewhat easier. Want a nice trigger? $65 ACT and damn nice trigger that is on part with$150+ triggers I have used just as an example.
Take said, next good sale I catch I am ordering 20-30 pmags, may splurge and go for the M3s since I do like them. Would like another 20 USGI 30rounders too. Also am going to start stocking up on small parts for the AR. I think if nothing else, we should take note of the issues with getting even small parts and stock up on them now. springs, pins, bolts, ect.
Would be curious to know the number of small manufacturers who bought cheap and sold junk parts high during the panic, if they are still making any money. Or even the small shops that jacked prices sky high (3K for wasrs, $25 for a box of 50 rounds of .22lr, $100 AR mags), if they are getting any traffic at all now because I know I damn near tripled my personal no buy list.
I didn't even see that deal. I couldn't resist. I want a KMR ELW pretty bad, but money talks.
$438 for a complete BCM upper with a Mod0 compensator, BCG, and GF Charging handle. That's the regular price of a BCM 16" Upper by itself.

How much lower can they go? I also noticed they reduced the price of charging handles by $5.
