Hello,

Why is everything on every website out of stock? BCM is basically all out...

I am not sure,
It seems just when I have some extra cash and in the buying mood everything I am looking for is not in stock. Example: Rainier Arms select 16in stainless barrels.

I think BCM has a lot of the main stuff in stock (BCG, Buffer tubes,ect) would like some more of the BCM mags with the magpul followers though.

The email reminder is pretty helpful.  I usually get one a few days after I set it up so its not that long a wait...

TO BCM - will you do custom orders on upper receivers - i.e. with the parts I request? as long as they are your vendors?

Sorry but we don't offer custom configurations.  We are a production shop and just offer the uppers as shown on the website.

For a custom services I would check with Steve at ADCO Firearms.

Magpul Industries is building thousands of stocks and tens-of-thousands of mags every WEEK and yet demand is still currently pushing us to the limit.  Who knows the cause of the current frenzy- AZ shootings maybe got people spooked?

I currently have orders in with Larue Tactical (in Stock), Optics Planet (out of stock), and US Cavalry (out of stock, but back in stock soon).

I kinda like the wait especially if I forgot I had an order in then when I get it, its like, cool I forgot about that and its Christmas today!!!!

If my life depended on it then maybe the wait would suck or if it was over  4 months then maybe that would suckk too.

Oh well.

Tax refund season.  Gun shows in the last month or two have been a madhouse.

Yep, tax refund came in a few days ago ($$$$), and I've been on a mad spending spree.



BCM was the first stop, and as usual, they were sold out of 75% of what I was looking for.  E-Bay FTW!

If they raised their prices such that demand was in harmony with the supply, this wouldn't be a problem.



But then gunowners would crucify them mercilessly, so I kind of understand why they prefer shortages instead.

If you can't find what you need buy used. I'd bet 1 out of 100 or fewer people here actually wear out a single personally-owned semi-auto A/R barrel in their life. The rest is maintenance items like springs/BCG etc.

People are getting tax returns.  What better investment than a good rifle.
Times are good,  people buy guns, times are bad, people buy more guns.
Kind of like beer.  If you are like me,  I am tired of throwing money into a 401k and watching it dissapear.
I can get rid of it and have something that gives me wood in return.
I am currently waiting on my green magpul carbine from Del ton !!!
I am hoping there will be some deals left on Saturday at the upcoming Knob Creek shoot.

Nope.

I work for a very respectable, very large company with lots of guys in their early to mid- twenties.  All college boys, all doing quite well.  A LARGE percentage of them are buying guns and ammo like it is going out of style.  These are MARRIED guys, too.  Buying for SHTF time.  ARs/ AKs / FALs, mags, goodies and ammo and they admit to it being for SHTF.

Now, I am beginning to think the shit going on in the middle east is going to get MUCH worse and could be the genesis of some tough times.

Pretty much all of this.

Perhaps unrelated to the firearms industry per se, but ......



Inventory cost money.  More inventory = higher costs.  With all the uncertainty about what Obummer and his minions are going to do next to the economy, a lot of companies are running bare bones inventories until things get sorted out politically.
