In your scenerio , its completely understandable to raise prises to match what you pay, BUT what most people are complaining about are the people who double or triple the cost of a rifle...like an ak that was 450 bucks to 1200 or more now.....ar's the same...I can get an basic ar15 for 625 shipped....it may take me 3 months to get it, but i can still get it for that price.
