Is it just me or does it seem like every election year blackrifle parts and ammo dry up followed by an increase in price for a couple years, then just when the prices get back to normal and supplies are full it all starts over again! I picked a really bad time to start a couple project guns! Ive been through dozens of suppliers and everything is showing out of stock! Went to a local shop the other day to pick up some ammo, the black box American Eagle nothing fancy, bought a bunch a month ago for $6 a box and he had cases of it in the back, now he has about a 1000 rounds left and its $15 a box and he has no idea when he will be able to get anymore! Finaly found a 7.62X39 barrel and bolt from an individual, still looking for a 300 BLK barrel, talked to one distributor they said we'll put you on the list but the lady tells me the list is a long one and they are only expecting 50 barrels when and if they ever get there!

Same as last time, give it a few months after the election and it will be better.
