Say what you want about Jax, Dick's, Cheaper than Dirt but SGAMMO also raises prices during a "crisis". I can speak specifically about .223/5.56. Raised prices today $20/case for what I've been watching. I've bought plenty from them in the past and will continue to if the price is right but I thought I would report what I've seen.
Yesterday I was thinking about selling my .223 reloading stuff. I think maybe now I'll hold on to it...
Yep, they're getting in before the rush. I hate to see the opportunism, but if you are short of 5.56 at this point, it's not their fault, it's yours. It's not like we didn't see this coming.
A free market response, conversely a couple years ago I watched IMI M855 at Widener's fall from $455/1200 to $409/1200.
Agreed. You won't find me bashing Jax, Dick's or Cheaper than Dirt. I'm all for free markets and capitalism and all that comes with it.Quote:

It's actually a positive because it pushes speculators (resellers) out leaving some inventory for folks who really need (and thus willing to pay the higher prices).
That's why I stay out of it when these panics hit. I feel really bad for the guys who couldn't afford to stock up and just now realize it's time.
My problem with CTD was when they jacked up the cost of stuff by 200% or more and then said it was the producers doing it, like saying it was Magpul pricing their mags at $60/popQuote:
