Probably a waste of time to post this here since those that are viewing this thread are probably smart enough to know, but Shooters in Jacksonville has jacked up prices a lot since Orlando.

$16 pmags - they're not out of stock at the distributor level and are $8 for me so I know they probably get a bit cheaper since they buy in bulk.
$15 AK pmags
$1100 for a KSG - online for $8-900 all day and you don't pay sales tax.
$650 pap pistols - online for $450-500
Spikes uppers for $119 - online for $20 cheaper
Spikes parts kits for $77 - mid $60's online with no sales tax.

On the flip side they had M&P 15-22's for $340 which is a penny over my distributor price - awesome deal!

Not trying to bash them but as long as people will pay uneccessary prices for merchandise then they'll keep charging it.

The typical argument is 1. Demand is going up so prices increase to control stock levels or 2. You have to support local business. I agree with point #2 100% as a business owner, but I also know the price before markup and it's a little crazy right now.

I just had a customer order 3 guns online to transfer in and saved just under $400 without counting the sales tax... The profit margins are there - demand lower prices and you will get it. Accept higher prices and you will get that too.

Distributors are not out of stock and paying more for something because of a fear of a ban is not going to help support the 2nd amendment for younger buyers who can not afford higher prices. A ban will not happen if we call and email our Reps. In fact, I urge everyone to let them know that we want the NFA abolished in addition to not support any new gun legislation. Then we need identify and elect real gun owners to office so that we don't have to keep going through this.

Sorry for the rant.

Not to call you out or anything.

But most distributors are out of stock on pmags or raised the pricing.   If you got someone selling them for $8, please let me know.

They have .223 in stock but jacked the price up on those as well. Wolf raised the price by $15 per case this week for wolf gold 223. Other distributors have went up $10-20 per case.

Everything else is pretty normal, 9mm has taken a good hit but that's about it.

Id agree, don't feed the panic.  Nothing is going to happen. Sit back don't buy and things will even out quickly.

$16 pmags are much better than the guys who have popped up here in the EE trying to sell them for $30 each!  there has been a handful of them listing mags at those prices lately

$16-18 is a fair price for the average LGS, remember they have to pay overhead.

This x 1000. After Sandy Hook Shooters immediately jacked prices through the roof on everything and Gun Gallery didn't raise the price on anything that was already in stock. I literally walked out of Shooters after seeing $40 Pmags and went to Gun Gallery and they were $12. I don't forget bs like that.
