I don't even want to know how much my Beowulf would go for.
(And no, I have no intention of selling it)

Wait until these guys realize that they deprived themselves of funds toward tangibles that actually matter. And when they try to sell the AR or AR stuff for the price they bought them for they'll be royally SOL once the hubbub dies down.

Ammunition is getting just as stupid as the firearms. M855 running 74 cents per round up to 82.

I was looking on-line last night for M1a mags, which were like $14.00 in yesterdays cdnn catalog. There are none to be had except for the mad crazy people asking $100.00 or more! I guess the ones I have now is all I'm ever gonna have.

The local stuff is all gone, but never reached the frenzied prices that are out there now.

I saw a gun on Guns America and Gun Broker that I paid $1100 for back in August that was asking priced up to $4500.00

And they have not even started to ban stuff yet! Where will it go later?

I received my first back order from Brownells yesterday with 10 magazines (5.56/.223).

These are 20 round Brownells house branded mags with stainless spring and green follower. After all sources dried up, I back ordered these at $13.99 each because I figured 20 was better than 10. Based running a rapid 20 rounds of Federal .223 FMJ through through 2 of them, they run well in my M&P 15's.

I also have a back order in for (20) PMAG 30's (non window, M2) at $12.99 each. They will likely be here in a week or two unless someone slaps an executive order against them.

Brownells is accepting back orders on PMAG 30 Gen M3 window for $17.05 each and non window for $14.20.

Rumor has it that a small local guy has 350+ USGI steel mags on the way in.

We have a large number of those 20 rounders. Never had any problem with them.

Your welcomed.

You could double and in some markets triple your money on those now.
