Panic buying in 3, 2, 1

I'm not really panicked, but took the opportunity to explain to the wife how things might be, and got the okay to spend some of MY money (LOL ) 3 lowers, 3 uppers, 3 triggers, three lpk's, three ambi safeties, and 10 mags from BCM. Ordered all on 10/7 - BCM stuff arrived today.

Kinda like those guys.

Kinda like the wife also, just bought another gun safe, and she is okay with 3 more rifles.

Damn dude. That's a hell of a good day. I just purchased another AR so I'm getting to a more comfortable level there. There's probably two more that I want plus SBRs when I get back to a free state. I'm pretty comfortable with mags, but I've got a ways to go for ammo.

Its happening.


Ive been paying attention to lowers. They're going out of stock.

Imo panic happens after supply drys up and people pay more than retail, and I think we're close on lowers at least.

Just snagged a case of factory loaded 124gr 9mm brass case for 210 shipped and just missed out on a case of brass case factory 230gr 45 ACP @ 299 shipped. Deals are extremely plentiful at this time so take advantage where you can.

Pallets (5+ in sight) of brass blazer 9mm at $9.99/box at the local MLGS.

Still seeing $49 Anderson lowers at 2-3 places. Really wish the AeroPrecisions were still like that, they seem to have gone mostly mail order. Don't see them retail much.

FDE Pmags (gen 2) $10.99, the others $12.30 at multiple local stores. Bought OD windowed Gen 2's for that last week.

DD LPK's and BCG's sitting on the shelf.

Primers dropped below $30/1k for CCI in some places.

These are my retail indicators... does not mean we won't see a panic. Just that I don't see signs yet. But vendors may be seeing order rate go up earlier than normal Christmas.

Update:

I'm worried I may have cancer, the wife just went to the local Harley dealer with me and we walked out with a new street glide, if we weren't old farts I'd be worried she had a boyfriend.

Judging from the local fun show today, there isn't panic buying going on here in SWMO. Attendance was low, sales were slow. Not much merchandise moving. Windowed Pmags $14, non-window $12, GI mags $9. Black Rain guys were pretty bored, they had racks of sale ARs, but no one showing much interest. We'll see if next week's show in Springfield is any different.

Still four pages of 6920s below $1k on Gunbroker with zero bids. This is barely a tremor.

Went to my local Cabela's today, ammo in all calibers in stock albeit it was mostly range fodder. I bought their last box of BH Mk262 Mod 1, haven't seen that in stock there in Y E A R S . . . They never have Gold Dots anymore either. Lots of mags and EBRs, no panic that I could tell.

My usual gun stores in S/W Montana still have lots of goodies. Lots of standard cap mags, black rifles. We as a community need to stand up and let our elected folks know, we have enough laws on the books. But not seeing any panic here.

I predict there will be a natural sales increase before the winter holidays, and around tax time. Then, starting in the summer of 2016, sales will greatly increase, in anticipation of the Democrats winning the POTUS election.


NOW is the time to get your 6920s, DDs, PMAGS, COLT/OKAY/NHMTG mags, cheap, stripped lowers, BCGs, LPKs, and anything else that the DemoRats will prohibit/require registration.

Remember, UBCs = registration = confiscation = death camps.

True patriots MUST ACT before the statists implement additional gun control.
