From looking at a lot of manufacturer’s webpages, and talking to a lot of builders/assemblers, I would venture to guess that this “panic buying” is going to be lasting a while – the people doing the buying may not get their products for months, but that will not stop them from putting in their orders.

I’m thinking more along the lines of AR’s. I’m sure there are plenty of people buying hi-cap pistols too…but record numbers?

I suppose it’s possible. I still think the “panic buying” is going to start dying down soon if it hasn’t already.

‘course I’ve been wrong before and probably will be again.

Someday.

Well, I am proud to say that two of those 46,382 are mine.

Speaking of, Dr. Strangegun – do you all stock uppers? Or just whole AR-15s?

If they haven’t already, sales will drop off soon.

All the gun shops are out of the guns that people want to buy…and the manufacturers simply can’t keep up with demand.

They are understandably reluctant to spend the money to increase manufacturing capacity because this run is temporary and, if the run is justified, the products they manufacture may be illegal in the next year or two anyway.

Anyway, the point is that I seriously doubt that we’ll break any records for December. Hard to make purchases when there’s nothing available to buy.
