MaDuce Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I've been away from guns for a while and will be pretty much out of the game for at least another month or 2. But I thought I'd check a few prices and availability of some late 2013, early 2014 plans and noticed that parts, accessories and ammunition that was almost impossible to come by 3 weeks ago is now readily available at several venders with declining prices. So, is it over or are we just having a good moment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Minor availability seems to be coming back but there is still stupid pricing going on. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 So, is it over or are we just having a good moment? Short answer to the short question - No, it is not over. You mentioned seeing "parts, accessories and ammunition that was almost impossible to come by 3 weeks ago is now readily available at several venders with declining prices..." I'm curious as to what those parts, accesories and ammunition items are, because it's still damn tough to find most things. The only thing I've seen making a comeback is .22LR ammo, from certain manufacturers, and it sells out immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissyJim Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Stuff is trickling in... but ZIPPING out of stock. I have a bunch of 'email me when in stock' notifications and I am getting more and more, but by the time I get them, and go to the site, they are sold out already. Thankfully nothing I *have* to have, but I sure would like some mags for the M&P15-22 I just picked up (at normal pricing BTW) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

392heminut Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 5.56 mags are out there at almost pre-poop prices.Thats about it. <dontknow> Yep, the AR-15 mags seem to be dropping back down to normal around here. I think everything else will follow, it's just going to take time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I've seen making a comeback is .22LR ammo, from certain manufacturers, and it sells out immediately. BCGs for as little as $130, magazines for around $20 ($30 for 308) upper receivers for around $200, lower receivers for the same price etc. Check copes destributing, Red-X arms, Tactical Machining etc. They are among the places where I found such deals.

SPBCTS Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Things are gonna slowly improve until people see stuff back in stock, and then it'll drain again. I would love to find some rifle prmers too, but ain't paying the, "screw u" mark up either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Martin Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Well, not in my neck of the woods. The shelves are still bare. And a long line at Sportsman's Warehouse when ammo comes in on Fridays. Cheers, George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Called Seth at DSG and the promo from Dec. on the magpul 10 pack is shipping.They are up to 12/29 order date.Mine was 12/31.So Magpul is pumping out the mags.Might see some relief soon on .308 Pmags. ^-^ 22lr still looks ugly as with other popular calibers. .38 is also short supply <dontknow> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNP Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 I hit a local shop here yesterday. Pretty full stock on ammo and a dozen lowers hanging on the wall. Pistol case is still pretty bare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
