SGAmmo raises 5.56 prices

[kidicarus13]

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.

I'm just waiting for some fool to come in here and start bashing because someone has something he wants but won't sell it for a nickel.

IMO. If one doesn't like a business or sellers price, they are welcome to shop elsewhere. Now of only those 55gr sp's i have in the FS section would sell

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.

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.

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.
