better not.
Without a doubt.
But good luck finding one now.
The panic buy craze will go full tilt.Even parts kits will go through the roof.

I'm gonna say not immediately, but I believe cost will go up slowly as demand increases. I think some new legislation will be introduced by the Dems, but not before this coming January. Then the sky is the limit. No price increases as of this morning at my normal internet outlets, Aim Surplus and Centerfire Systems.

I also heard that 5280 gouged buyers after the last election by immed raising the prices on their current stock, taking advantage of the situation to make more money, so don't be surprised if that happens here and there.

WELL, If you are posting a WTB , then no you're not wanting to pay a reasonable price.
IF you complain about prices, than list you shit for the same price you don't want, or refuse to pay, then yes they will go up.

Cheaper Than Dirt was the poster child for that behavior after '08.

Naw,
Not at all, I'll let you have the deal of the month for 2/13. An unfired Romo under folder and 1K of ammo for the miserly amount of $1150........[ROFL1]
In 3 months this will be a bargain of a price........
I've been checking gunbroker and the ak market hasn't really heated up. Plenty of AKs there with no bids.

i think more people tried speculating than last election so there's more of a supply of ak's in the secondary market. just my thoughts

MGT had 2 monday afternoon. Today like most FFL's and the PANIC BUYERS who are less then prepared GFL finding anything. I don't know why the panic shit is happening. EVERYONE HAD THIS WARNING 4 YEARS AGO, for those not old enough or money stable to buy.
I heard on the radio friday that Obama is warming up the AWB with the UN, again. the problem going forward is going to be getting more rifles into the country. Oh, and the ammo.
