At that price, they should be selling those by the case,
cause I see them selling for around $300.00 all day long.

I am not a fan.
I have a friend that bought one of the Spikes 'Warthog" lowers, he shopped around some, but still paid about $300 for it.
I thought he was nuts, but he likes it and he wanted it, so he bought it.

Possibly the ugliest AR build I have seen in a long time. But, he's happy and shoots it all the time.

That is a nice carbine.

It would be panic buying if you bought 10 of them.

I won't call it panic buying since I've wanted one for quite awhile...

Picked up a DD5V1 yesterday. Was going to take it to the range today, but damn if I can find my back-up sights I had stashed.

Need a few more mags and have to decide what kind of glass I'm going to put on it (if at all).

That is a nice carbine.

It would be panic buying if you bought 10 of them.

I've heard nothing but good about it. And if I could afford 10, I might have bought another 2 or 3.

If this is your first DD, I think you will be happy.
My last build I bought a DD upper from a guy on the EE here and it has been great.

I can neither confirm nor deny that his is my first DD rifle.

But damn... for a 308, this thing is lighter than some of my 223 rifles.

Gave up on finding my back-up sights. Ordered up some YHM ones from GT Dist. I just gotta shoot a rifle with open sights before I put glass on it.

There's a mild one, but not great. Most of the <$50 lowers are gone now. Most of the low-cost on-line ammo is drying up (Wolf Gold is hard to find). There's some to be found if you hunt, but availability is definitely slightly diminished.

November 9th could be quite interesting. I expect a floodgate of panic then.

On the local retail scene... that I'm not sure about.

I guess I find it hard to believe that there are THAT many people that will be surprised the evening of November 8th,
and I suspect it will be an early evening.

Remembering the 1980 Reagan win, I think it will be an early evening with a Trump win.

Dallas may win the Superbowl, too.

I think that Dallas has a better chance of winning the Super Bowl.

Wonder how they are selling it for that price? That is $100 below dealer cost.

I was wondering the same thing, unless it is a knock-off...
or they are just trying to get rid of it.

Not sure, but that is what I paid for mine.

They had a lot of people in there today stirring around. I left after checking out the 9mm pistol counter.

I am praying for a run on former NFA items if we can get that BS to go away

So does this mean the ATF's NFA branch will start getting staffed appropriately?

Am I a bad person for waiting on these panic buyers to sell their non-used panic buy toyz at 70% of purchase price?

Nope ... it's called a free market. If someone decides to over pay for a item then it's on them as they were not required to purchase

I hope the gun dealers and manufacturers don't suffer from the unexpected presidential outcome.
Whodathunkit?
This is the first time all of the pollsters got it completely wrong to the best of my knowledge. I could be wrong.
Any of you political history majors out there have facts for us? Facts are handy from time to time.

They will still take their sweet time, until they move the office and hire new people, then they will slow down again

While it was the upset of the century,

Apparently two polls got it right.....

and this professor predicted a Trump win in September, although he was wrong on the popular vote:
