You can still find stripped lowers out there <$60. Get them while you can and may God have mercy on our souls.

Well, at least the panic buying should be epic to watch.

I'm glad I decided not to sell in October. The value is skyrocketing.

Really we all should be good after these last 4 years. I'm just waiting for a certain AK from PSA to finally come back in stock and my CQB from Knights Armament that I ordered in September. I'm bursting at the seams with magazines, etc.

I suspect the real panic buying will just be getting started shortly.

The way I see it

There is too numerous a portion of American society for the scenario that the the usual suspects tell you will happen

i.e. mass confiscation, u.n. blue helmets trying to figure out how to rape a 5.56 rifle in practical terms, etc.

So we'll probably see gridlock, or a lot of noise and sound and maybe mass non compliance, but not on an individual level.
Hate to stomp on the dreams of our radical individualists, but this shit takes enough people, otherwise you're just another loser
who got smoked. State by state? A return to federalism!, people will cry! County by county? maybe that too

Alright, enough prognostication, I don't know shit, things could get wild, or, like most things in my and your life, they will play out in
less than spectacular fashion

Got an order for 3 larie Uppers and their matching lowers. Have a few lowers, 1 complete rifle, a few handguns, and some bolt stuff on the way. Im a practical man I've stocked up on mags the last few months.

can't buy what's not in stock

Honestly, I'm going to get out of the gun hobby. Not going thru anymore of this panic crap. Dealing with neckbeards, waiting 6 months for a rifle to be in stock or scrounging around the internet for brass they don't make to concentrate on the more popular calibers.

I'll load up all of my components and when they are done, I'll just stop buying new guns or supplies and go fishing more.

I’m more than good on rifle and pistol mags. If I bought more it would be for resale. Upper and lower parts would be something I will probably buy to throw in storage if the price is right. I need ammo but I’m not buying at these prices.

I just bought a Hodge 12.5 inch barrel. Used most of my $600 handout on it since I refused to order shipped USPS with their current shit.

No, but neckbeards can backorder. They won't even be charged until the ammo ships.

I need ammo but I'm ok given how rarely I shoot.
I have 0 lowers, hard to get here, so it looks like I'll be spending a grand on 80's, a 5D setup and a router.

Probably going to buy some Glock sticks and BX25's tonight before I go to sleep.

Probably should also buy G20 and 21 mags for when I finally get one. Am I better off saving my dollars for now and trading from my duffle bag of G17 mags? I guess I could go for a M&P .45 for a bigger pistol and not have magazine availability issues. Shit, should I buy a big bore AR upper now too? Worrying is expensive.

Damn and that 600 could really help right now.

I expect mag prices to go through the roof. They’re the only thing that has remained in stock at a reasonable price.

People gotta hoard something.

Really? It was a pretty popular belief here that the market was so flooded with them due to people stocking up prior to the last election that they wouldn't be going up in price for a solid 2-3 panics from now....and GDers are never wrong so you can take that to the bank!

I assume pretty much everyone here already owns a capable rifle and some ammunition. That should be sufficient for recreation and personal defense.

What happened in 2006?

Dems flipped the House and Nancy Pelosi became Speaker for the first time.

ETA - You don't go to the gun shows, but I remember the guys who would set up a table at Market Hall with 10 boxes of .380 FMJ for $50 each and 10 boxes of .380 JHP for $100/each and have a crowd of people throwing money at them.

I was about to checkout with a PSA rifle kit early last year. Decided to just wait and see what other options (rails, LPK, whatever) they were going to put on sale.

Then COVID hit a few days later. Everything goes out of stock, prices go up. I think the same kit that was $400 is now $850 or more.

Have just been waiting for the panic buying to die down. Really kick myself now.

If you’ve been on the fence as far as black powder arms, get a muzzle loader now with accessories and powder now.

There's nothing I need to panic buy. Been there done that.

I am going to buy a hundred or so more metal mags.

No one really knows how long plastic magazines will last. Maybe forever, maybe only 50 years.

In any case, I do know that aluminum or steel mags will last for at least 70 years. Recently a friend asked me to safety check his grandfather's M1 carbine. He also gave me ten magazines that had been in a box, loaded, since the Korean War. That old ammo fired 100% but two 30 rounders had weak springs, the rest worked fine.

So even though I have lots od plastic mags, I'm gonna increase the number of metal magazines. And get a bunch of magazine springs.

Did you guys really think “we” were going to win in GA? Have you all totally missed all the breaking info about the fraudulent votes across multiple states? What did you think the outcome was going to be?

I only wish I would have bought some more 9mm practice ammo.

I took advantage of the salad days for all of my needs. Just wish I would have bought 10 more cases of 9mm.

Same boat. I really thought I had more than I did. I had to fire up the Dillon.
