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.

It's been time for close to 3 decades. If one isn't of legal age to buy a gun, ok i understand. HOWEVER to complain (not you, Skip) thjat one cannot aford anything firearm related, Oh well.
AR's have been in the shitter price wise for what, almost a year? Unless something has changed there's still lots of $400 kits and $50 lowers out there.

FYI- on the retail end it was pretty quiet today. Did sell a few AR's- but a very quiet Sunday at the shop.

I was at Green Mountain, Gun Room and MGT, all were slow on sales.

The looming hillary annointment notwithstanding, it seems a bit different, at least to me, following a muzzie shooting versus a white male shooting, gun-ban-wise

I agree! I couldn't afford to be "comfortable" until a few years ago. I didn't complain, I just saved. In 1998 I paid $80 for a 13 round G21 mag! I could only afford one.

And any of yous of age before 1986 have serious splaining to do.

Thanks for the front line reporting but you're both overestimating the general public. Many won't even know what occurred in Orlando until they boot up their work computers on Monday morning. Ammo and/or firearm sales will pick up accordingly. Online sales of 5.56 ammo has increased as the day has progressed. Think I'm trying to start a panic? Why? I won't benefit. Knowledge is power. Be thankful your a member of COAR and now in the know. Those that have as much as you could ever need... good. Those of you that didn't see this coming... well... Game 5 of the NBA Finals is on tomorrow night.

Now that I can realistically afford whatever I want, I suppose I should be looking at some projectiles for .223, .300blk, and .308, but I'm having a hard time convincing myself to spend the money.

SG didn't raise the price on the steel case .223

Maybe the market is actually getting saturated finally.
