Bottom Drops Out of AR-15 Market

[churchmouse]

I'm going to snatch up an Obama of lowers here soon. Just need to be patient.

If I use the currant Obama math you will have a plethora of them.
Did I spell that correctly??

Myriad is the better word, but "currant"? What does fruit have to do with my guns?

Maybe he wishes Obama would go fig himself.

Hey, they left me out of the buyers group. I still haven't bought another AR, just waiting for the right time and mood.

 

[Hoosierkav]

Approaching the time to start buying. Six more weeks.

Six weeks?

Have you been having clandestine parking lot meetings or am I missing something obvious?

I just got 9 boxes of 223 for $.27/round from Wallyworld. I got lucky though. It was late when I was there and only 2 people were looking at ammo.

Oh yeah, . . . They can only hope that Hillary wins the next election to keep sales up.

No chance Hillary gets the nomination. The fix is in for Michelle. They want another feminine idiot they can parade around as they rob us blind.

Purple as needed. I know

Maybe it is time to start drinking.

The time to buy will be August until the elections in November.

Prices will reach their nadir in August and, depending on the election result, could spike in November or continue to decline.

I'm sorry to be so dense, but what is it that's supposed to happen in August?

If you overpaid during the scare you are doing it wrong. I picked up 2 colt ar's 20 pmags 18 troy battlemags, at pre panic prices. I could have easily gotten more but no reason to. Ammo on the other hand seems to be non existent but why get gouged on something that has no chance of being "banned".

Approximately the pig will get stuck in the phython. (Supply will exceed demand, a glut will be created thus creating lower prices).

Here's hoping you're right. Though, because of my denseness, I'm still not up on what you're basing your statement on.

AR-15's easy to get now.

God help you if you need ammo for it.

223 is starting to free up. Not quite at the same price before all this, but getting there. Now 22LR, that must still be made of unobtanium from what I can tell.

Approaching the time to start buying. Six more weeks.

I'm thinking the same. Time to keep some money in the pocket to jump on some deals when they show up.

I have managed to find some OK deals on .45 ACP and .223/556
They are out there you just have to beat the bushes and grab what runs out.
I doubt we will see .35 cents a round for .223 for a while if ever again.

Agreed, it is starting to show up.

The time to buy will be August until the elections in November.

Prices will reach their nadir in August and, depending on the election result, could spike in November or continue to decline.

I think you are correct. We're starting to see some of it now, but I believe in August it will free up even more.

i hope so. i would really like to replenish my handgun calibers. It's available now, but i'm not paying those prices.

I base this on the twin pillars of conjecture and speculation.

They have served me well in gun investments.

(I'm pulling out of you know where, like every other economist or CFP).

Another bit of golden info. A confirmation that "This isn't Kansas anymore Toto."

Yeah...someone tell me when Mega Arms Maten Receivers are plentiful

Were they ever?

The laws of Economics will hold true, despite temporary forces and trends. It boils down to supply and demand - they will always balance out a volatile market.

The supply, or lack of, ammunition for AR's is probably one of the largest temporary forces on sales of the rifles. Been a wild and frustrating ride over the last six months...
