204 AR Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Yip the first Obama scare is what put Lock Stock and Barrel out of business. They sold out of everything, then could not resupply. Nothing to sell = go out of business. It stinks too because they were the only decent place in western NE to buy powder/primers.

spectrascott Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Yeah went to a small store today that caters to the AR community and well no guns. Was in there Friday and they had at least 30 on the wall and many were out at a local gun show that weekend. Who knows how many they sold. They also had 100s of pmags for both .556 and .308 well they were pretty much gone today. They did have windowed dark earth 30 rndrs for a little over market value. Not stabbin you for them like some I have seen but not what they sold for last week. Is going to be interesting seeing what happens to this business after time.

SPBCTS Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Makes you wonder how today's society would react in a real, or perceived emergency...you choose which...then ponder it. People are about 24 hours from genuine panic.Other than that, the dang credit cards got a workout these past 10 days or so, didn't they?

392heminut Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 I picked up 6 mil-surp 30 rnd AR-15 mags at my local gun shop Thursday for $10 apiece. The owner is a standup guy and refuses to price gouge. He asked me if I was going to flip them and I told him he knew me better than that, they are not leaving my hands! On another note, my oldest son who lives in Juneau AK managed to pick up a Stag Arms AR-15 for $1300 Friday. I don't know what model it is, but the thing has a 24" stainless heavy barrel! :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madhouse Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 My father-in-law and I went to Cabelas today and bought a full reloading setup, and during the 20 minutes the guy was helping us he had to tell at least a half dozen guys, "No AR mags at all!"

blue109 Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 So...are the guys that paid $40 per mag over the past few irrational panic filled days going to be pissed when everyone re-ups after the 1st and prices return normal? How about when palmetto and Walmart restock with dirt cheap ARs? Some of my coworkers were asking about my stockpile of stripped lowers like they were made of gold plated bacon. This crap is just silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Some of my coworkers were asking about my stockpile of stripped lowers like they were made of gold plated bacon.If there is such a thing as gold-plated bacon, it would be priceless.Just stating fact.There are folks asking me where to get stuff. I'm telling them "Just get a bolt-action and work on your marksmanship skills." <laughs>Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
