Has the price increase begun?

Just got my one of my hunting tags in. Note to self, buy the ammo now.

I don't know about price increases. I do know this is what, the 2nd? thread about said subject.

Oops, apologies. Want to merge them?

The surge is probably also due to everyone who procrastinated and waited until the last minute to start an SBR build like myself.

That being said I've made a few large firearm purchases over the past week in anticipation of a price surge coming again. I also picked up 10K rounds of various caliber ammo.

The last time this happened I had enough ammo to wait until the craze was over to buy more, figured I should play it safe and make sure I'm in the same position again. Considering .22LR hasn't gotten anywhere close to pre sandy hook prices just imagine if the same thing happens with .223 and 5.56 I'm worried the new normal could $.75+ a round.

Haven't noticed the price increase yet, but availability seems to be an issue. I'm piecing together a rifle that I have been working on for several months. Just waiting every other pay check or so to get a part so as to stay in my budget. I was working on getting a barrel sometime this week or next and started trying to locate one. A lot of sources seem to be tapped out.

I agree. Some of hot items on gb or even some vendor website supply has dropped a lot.
Maaybe I should've bought the used tavor for 1100 when I had a chance...

Palmetto state armory only has 2 rifle build kits in stock. One is in 6.8 caliber. Ive heard lots of mags are bought up already too. Might be the start. Might just be a little scare. Might be this way until elections. :shrugs:

One of my coworkers bought four of those for her, her husband and their teenage sons. Build party comments no up.

Had a coworker who must be in his late 50s buy his first AR yesterday and another one considering it.
