Haha just got a pm on a stripped lower 300 bucks for an anderson this time last year you could buy a anderson upper and lower set for 140 glad i was able to get mine before mass hysteria and price gouging took affect

This sucks. I'm new to gun ownership, and just decided a couple of weeks ago to get an AR in the beginning of the year when I get my bonus at work. Then this happened, and now im trying to scramble around to find a lower so I can at least build one later. Picked up a bunch of magazines at least, but those wont do any good without the darn lower. Just gotta keep looking....

NW Armory today is selling P-Mags, but just 1 per customer! Looked online today for an AR lower and there all gone....A few very high priced ones though..

Aloha surplus has 223 and used m16 mags

 

[Burt Gummer]

Gun Room (of all places lol) sold out their shipment of many ARs today in just minutes.

Geezus, this is going to be worse than '93.

I see previously $800 ARs at $2000 by next month at this rate, no joke.

 

[Greenbug]

There's a sucker born every minute.....

We're all going to have to learn to shrug it off. Especially now that our own classifieds are getting infected.

$300 stripped AR lowers anyone? I just saw one pop up.

Check ebay pmags going for 65$ each
Insane people

Shoot I just got 20 pmags in FDE, I should start gouging them as well, Seriously though glad I got mine days before all this craziness started. Wholesale sports here in Vancouver was sold out of everything and their pmags were something like 18 a piece and people had snatched them all up.

Just crazy

 

[Intention]

Stopped by Dick's today and there was nobody in the firearms section. And customers were looking at me if I was an employee there. Must have been a dozen of people looking to buy. And Bimart in Hillsboro was crazy. I couldn't even get down the isle to see what was left on the shelves. Wanted 10/22 mags, but I wasn't gonna wait an hour before little bimbo could help me.

Wow that's crazy. I put in 10 and calculated shipping and it was $58!!! I posted cause if saw it on a car forum and had no idea they were gouging for shipping. But then again, that only makes them $21 per mag.....better than EBay

Went to our Bimart tonight, still had .223 ammo and hooks full of 10/22 mags and I was the only one back there.....nice. To be in a small town some times.

 

[lmmmmm]

it was like this in 2008 after the election. you couldnt find a pmag anywhere.

 

[Hrethgir]

Thanks to a tip in a PM, I was able to get a complete lower with a collapsible stock, or at least get the transfer going. Thanks, you-know-who-you-are! Now I have a lower and 30-round mags on the way, I think I'm safe whatever happens, pretty much.
