    Haven’t seen it mentioned but LPKs were also weirdly hard to find. I recently bought enough stripped lowers to fill out a healthy amount of AR variations so as much as I want to buy more uppers, LPKs, and everything else to fill them out, I know it’s not logical because I’ll probably run out of ammo before my current guns go down. 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.

    The worry isn't the Federal level, it's the human garbage infesting many state legislatures. *stares pointedly at Salem, Olympia, Denver, Richmond and several others*
    You really have to ask why Conservatives have guns? Because Liberals block freeways, burn cities, throw Molotov cocktails, loot, turn over cop cars, and think this behavior is Socially Acceptable.

    I think anything that has to do with "modern" and over 10 rounds is going to be scarce. Or the possibility of. It's all on looks and capacity. First it will be whole firearms, then it will trickle down to components. Most people would initially want the whole rifle instead of piecing one together at the last moment. And if there is a panic the parts will follow the same logic as the ban. Anything that looks/sounds scary. Your braces, folding stocks, bcg, fcg, threaded barrels

    Ammo.....the obvious 223/9mm followed closely by 7.62x39/45acp and then the rest in descending order of popularity. Probably the same thing will happen again with 22lr

    Given the coming Republican landslide, MAYBE panicked Anqueefas are buying... I suppose preying on their fears is OK. Most of them won't know which end the bullet comes out of anyways.

    Went through my stash, LPKs are my main need. I’m going to buy a few over the next couple months.

    I’m good. Ordered extra firing pins and bolt/carrier Colt parts BF 2018. Just did a refresh on springs and small pets for my lowers. Over 15 new or nearly new mags per assembled lower. Seven genuine OEM pistol mags, plus two Canik 20rders that work fine in it.

    What I do need is ammo. The stash has dropped a bit. I could stand to add a few thousand .22L and good SD .223/5.56.
    But really, how much practiced and SD ammo do you all consider “enough?”

    I don’t ever consider an amount “enough”.

    I compare what prices are to what they have been historically and buy accordingly. Worst case scenario is I sell it for more than I paid.

    That’s where I think a lot of people in this thread differ from each other. “I have enough mags to last me a lifetime”. Well, when you want to give each of your kids enough for their lifetime and each of their kids enough for their lifetime the numbers get kinda small really quick.

    I think I would stop at 100,000 rounds of 5.56 and 10,000 quality AR mags, but it would only be for lack of space.
    Why do the loudest do the least?
