Well, speaking personally, I just dropped the change on two DPMS lowers down at Coal Creek. I guess the Obamamessiah is good for one section of the market, at least...

Just came back from my local dealer with some goodies (AR & XD). No price jumps yet. Just so happened that his AR distributer was in the store. He was telling us that they were out of ARs (all brands) in the warehouse. The dealer had about 20 left and said once they were gone it would be after the first of the year before he though they would get any more. He figured he would sell out in next two weeks.

Yea, AR-15s are selling like nookie on a troop ship.

Buy ‘em while you can before you become Federally ASSimilated, we still have a 10-round magazine limit.
And no lead-ammo in “potential” condor habitat…

The one we have left is still $450, if there’s an increase it’s on the distributor’s side.

Prices didn’t jump on ARs (again, not us, maybe dist’s) but we did sell out of all the low-end models so the lowest level we have is a bushmaster with flip sights and a tri-rail gas block for $1120.

Our price on lowers did go up $5 though

What Jay really better worry about is buying enough ammo to feed the beast for the next few years. I just got four cases of Wolfe goodness from my regular dealer. He told me he had ordered 31,000 rounds of the stuff last week and most of was already gone

From this morning’s Outdoor Wire:

…consumers have told The Outdoor Wires that prices on the AR-style rifles jumped as much as twenty percent overnight.

I can’t remember if I posted it here or elsewhere but in Cincinnati a gun store is running a sale on guns they consider to be potentially outlawed.

Yeah, I’ve spent a TON of money in the last few weeks on ammo, mags, and a new high-cap pistol and I still need at least one more AR lower.

Nearly every online dealer has put up notices about shipping delays due to backorders and high volume. I suspect places that sell ammo in bulk are going to run dry very quickly.
