    Go in peace, but be prepared for violence.

    Shit. Back in early 13, Jackson Arms in South San Francisco had an awful, heavy tacticooled Bushmaster for around $3K. First and last time I ever went into that ghetto dump.

    Sandy hook scare brought about 12 full months of consumption forward. This also caused manufacturers to ramp up production. What are now experiencing the follow on consumption gap. Give it another 6-8 months

    Just how bad are things for manufacturers right now? Did Sandy Hook create any new consumers or did everyone just buy last year the rifle that they would've normally bought this year?
    Aggregating. I bought an upper a few weeks ago and no free BCG.

    Bought one a few weeks ago, and just had the BCG I bought delivered today.

    Overall, I still got a great deal (got one of the 14.5 blem uppers with C4 rails). But why did they have to do that right after I told my wife I was done buying AR's for now?

    Maybe I need to order another 1 or 3.

    I'm hoping they'll give me some store credit. I need a trigger and a light.

    Prices are down, and on the retailer side its hard to sell in comparison to other years. After SH you couldn't find a AR on the shelf for under $2k, now every pawn shop and mom and pop shop has 30 on the consignment rack.

    Accessory sales are doing well though.

    Prices fluctuate. I bought two BCM uppers and BCG's during the panic period. Prices have come down since. I've bought more uppers and BCG's since then. Prices have changed again. If the price was good enough for me to order it in the first place, I am happy. I got what I paid for.

    Market forces keep the prices in flux. Prices could sky rocket tomorrow.

    During the last panic, a coworker offered to buy one of my AR's for $6k.

    Now is the time to buy, obviously. Another shooting could happen tomorrow and the panic start all over again. If you have gaps you want to fill and the disposable income to do it, now is the time.
