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.
