I never used any of those bands before so I couldn't tell you. Lots of people love BCM so they'll chime in soon.

whittaker guns in kentucky had 4 DPMS AR's for $689.99 this morning.

if you look and wait a little longer those folks that paid over $2000 back in december, january, and feb will look silly when you buy the same gun for $1000-$700 dollars.

Oh no doubt. I paid a hair bit high for my last AR due to the election but it was still a month before SH.

I have a 300 Blackout now, ima piece together another 300 blackout SBR while the ammo is still high, then build a 5.56 to plink with when ammo gets cheap again.

I am gonna build a 300 with my lower from psa or shadow ops, another 5.56 with the other lower, and probably keep 2 or 3 lowers around in case I decide to do another build or for a future AWB.

I bought my M&P 15-22 just to have something to shoot (as long as I have ammo) until 5.56 or .223 gets to a reasonably price range.

Agreed on ammo. Its going to be a while until that comes to normal.

$100 says TTT was pulling a Dr. Evil laugh as he typed this.

alot of people got some $$$$ by flipping ammo, guns, mags, and lowers and alot of people are going to get stuck with overpriced mags, ammo, guns, and lowers that they paid too much for or that they were gonna flip for a huge profit and now are going to be stuck with them or take a loss on them.

thats why I just bought for my personnel stash and also to help out my old man and my father-in-law.

:raiseshand: TTT is much more vocal with his sales, I've been flying under the radar for the most part

All I have left are 30 PMAGs on backorder that I paid pre-crisis price for. I may be stuck with more than I intended, but I only have 3 right now so I shouldn't get hit too bad if at all.

Yea, I have a shitload of mags and a BCM upper that I can unload for $100 profit right now, but I am pushing my luck with it. Otherwise, ammo will be sold without a loss for months unless you bought high to begin with, and I havent done that outside of steel-cased ammo. And who knows what the market finally levels out on there, but I know that we wont ever see prices the way there were before.

Id help you guys out by taking some mags off your hands but I didnt want to insult anyone with my offers. Ive been seeing mag prices pretty close to normal at the vendors I check.

Yeah I have around 40+ mags with about 20 more left to come in. I paid prepanic prices on all of them but a few.

Ammo

No one needs too know.

Unfortunately lost all of it in a boating accident, truck fire, and the local five fingered thiefs.

Looking to resupply when it pops up cheap on-line.

I am not too concerned. I wish I didnt order so many, but unfortunately I think it will be sooner rather than later that someone fricks up and shoots something up or something dumb happens and people will need them again. Would rather have too many than not enough

That is one hell of a run of bad luck, or good luck depending on how you look at it.

Yea I get that. But at the same time I was planning to start a small assembly and gunsmithing business to pay for grad school. All this shite happened and made it alot more difficult for me to start up, set me back pretty good. People like alot of the guys around here that plan to keep and put a little money in their pockets thats fine, but the speculators who bought only to line their pockets off panic, im going to love watching them lose their asses over the next couple weeks.
