Are we goin for another ride after all?
d:^) Jake..
The current market is interesting. Demand is up substantially, but there was plenty of inventory in the supply chain. Distributors were bulging at the seem because they were over-bought and it appears manufacturers had built inventory in anticipation of election craziness towards the end of the year.
The question in my mind, is if the supply chain empties out now, what if there is election demand and the channel is empty?
The one thing which is in short supply is lowers. As Robbie pointed out, Aim is out of stock. It is easy for a company to have post a price when they are out of stock AND NOT ACCEPTING ORDERS. The true measure is the price they will sell at when they do get stock.
On that note, we track on-line prices of our major competitor. There is a major on-line discount gun retailer (not Aim) who, when they run out of a model, they LOWER THE "price" on their website, but DO NOT ACCEPT orders. When they get guns back in stock, they raise their price to the "normal" price. This is done specifically to make their competitors look expensive.
