Any signs of another panic in gun shops?

If anyone went to The Store, or works there, please post your observations of general market conditions.

My favorite .223/5.56 ammo sold out on my favorite online store. Maybe coincidence, maybe panic.

If that continues it'll be good for everyone involved.

If the Dems. were in control of the asylum called congress and Hillary was POTUS, not much doubt there'd be panic going on right now. Thankfully the Dems. aren't in charge and Hillary is just a bad memory.

Just thank God or whatever Deity you worship (or don't) that Hillary ISN'T POTUS right now -- she'd have pushed an executive order by lunch that would have restricted gun rights, implemented draconian "safety" measures, and probably opened up the DOJ on anyone who's ever filed a 4473.

Exactly, if she hadn't prior to this event then she would have done it now.

Thank God for President Trump.

Got to be coincidence or isolated panic. Just checked three online places I use and all have plenty of all the regular calibers.

I've checked .223/5.56 at SG Ammo throughout the day since their site shows # in stock and although people are buying, it doesn't appear to be to flying off the shelves.

Because they all still have crates of it from 2012 and haven't shot any of it.

Probably less worried with Trump being president too

That depends on what the definition of "is" is.

Few of my firearms did NOT sell on gunbroker today. Therefore, panic didn't start.

I'm only going to say that I have had a weapon on consignment at a local shop since before the summer began; It sold today.

48x40" standard pallet size. Most of the distrubution center usually does not stack higher than 4' (48") on ammo.
Now rest can be a done. "Assuming 100 round of box is x" by y", and only stack that same box, blah blah."

Is there anyone who isn't perpetually stocked up since Obama won the 1st time?

I was thinking about checking the prices of used AR's on Armslist to gauge the level of panic amongst the peasants.

Here's an idea... check the availability of Slide Fire and bump fire stocks over the next few days.

Heard from a contact at one of the larger online retailers that they completely sold out of slidefire stocks today...

Out of curiosity, what did these bump fire stocks sell for last week?

I saw these years ago and thought it was silly at best and dangerous at worse. Is it just a simple sliding stock you replace the old stock with or is it more complicated than that? Even if they ban these things how difficult would it be to make one on your own? Seems like a pretty simple gizmo but I am not educated on these things.

I bought one of the original SlideFire stocks. When I first heard of them and saw the price I laughed and said I'd never own one. Then I shot one. It was easily worth the money to me after actually trying it out.

For decent money or today's rock bottom pricing?

Nice to know someone likes them. After calling the BF CSR number regarding an issue with the stock and getting the run around. I was happy to dump the stock on someone who was made aware of the issue prior to purchase. Best $50 loss i ever took on a gun related item.

No kidding. Those things can make ammo disappear.

At the last Tanner show Tac Con triggers had a table. Offered at a $100 discount over retail if bought at the show. Almost grabbed one but figured that would cover a decent amount of ammo.

I see slide fire stocks listed at 500 now. Not sure if they will sell though. I think they're pretty crappy honestly though I've used one on an Ares shrike and if money was no issue it would be kind of fun.
