I do wonder about NFA stuff though, so I’m struggling between balancing ammo and diving into that. But I also need a new shotgun and a few more Glocks so it’s a process.
    There's a line in my tracking doc for an AR build constantly reminding me that I paid $120 for a PSA LPK on gunbroker to finish a build.

    I now have two extra LPKs, an extra complete BCG, an extra bolt, two different spare parts kits (the DPMS big one and some other one), a couple springs kit, gas tube, an oops kit, few sets of gas rings, a pins kit, Geissele spring replacements for all three of my Geissele FCG's, action springs, firing pins, cam pins...yeah. The little shit can get ya. LPK's, who would have known?

    Of course, at these prices, a complete and functioning addition rifle is the best way to make sure you have any possibly essential part

    I'd like to find a nice S&W Model 15.
    The new Python has different lockwork, and does not stack like the old ones. A nice clean pull-through on double-action. If you have ever shot one of the old 1905 Smith and Wesson Hand Ejectors, it feels like that. Long-action Smiths are capable of a tremendously smooth trigger. Oh, and I'm buying one of the 6" Python's to replace the one I had to sell after my son's ICU stay.

    I've got three Model 15's - a 2", a 4" and a 6". Highly recommended.

    Regarding the OP's question, I just ordered another 15K small pistol primers to the stash, another 8-pound keg of Bullseye powder, 4 pounds of Alliant Sport Pistol powder to try out with the 3000 polymer-coated wadcutter bullets. Annual bonus arrived, so I did the annual order of reloading supplies. Plus booked half of the training classes for the year.

    Years ago, I bought enough parts from White Oak Armament, and pins from McMaster-Carr, to build dozens of AR's.

    The 8-year-old granddaughter has a 6920, a G19, a 642 and an 870 all NIB in the safe. What do I need to panic buy now?

    So if you want to stock up on something, stock up on training classes. Get your learn on, and be hard to kill.

    Yeah this tbh.

    Like I have more than I need and I am not, personally, hedging bets on panic buyers.
    I am content with my stash and am happy that the new guns coming out that I want are essentially ban proof.

    Per Model 15s ooohh yeah.

    I still have my stockpile from 2016. BCG's and mags. Lots of them. After all the other rushes I have ZERO sympathy for anyone who isn't prepared. I will sell at a hefty profit if the time comes.

    Why does everyone stock pile BCGs and not just bolts, firing pins, and cam pins?

    It's easier to justify a 'new build' if what you happen to have lying around is a full BCG. Same for having LPK's as spare parts kits. Also, prices are just so low right now, why not?

    Been over buying since adulthood, with everyone else's panic funding many many many many toys for my collection. Looking forward to buying something really nice in the next year or so.

    I have so much ammo and magazines that it’s becoming a storage issue. Plan on picking up I need to A2 just because I like the 20 inch barrel
