Assuming we had at least a month notice that online firearm parts sales were to be banned, what parts would you buy before the ban was enacted?

To replace a gun that just needs a $3 spring to work normal again...makes sense.Another spare firearm(s).
Most firearm parts are hard to come by in Local shops and are generally more expensive when available locally. That has been my experience anyways.The parts that wear out and break the most....
Also I'm not sure you've really thinking this through much. They may end up getting banned to buy online, but they'll still be available retail. It doesn't mean the parts will be banned in general...
If we had a month’s notice, everything would be sold out within minutes.
In a town of 24,000 people that has almost nothing, I'm sure that's true.Most firearm parts are hard to come by in Local shops and are generally more expensive when available locally. That has been my experience anyways.
I mostly agree with that. Chances are we will get hints of it happening before a vote comes down. There would likely be a period of time when people are not sure whether it would pass or not. Some will buy early, simply on the fact that Biden has the idea in his anti-gun platform. Some will wait until legislation is actually voted on and passed. Then a bunch of people will between. The longer buyers wait the higher the price they will pay and the less selection they'll have to choose from. Prices are still low enough now it seems like a prudent decision to start making some purchases on parts that will get snapped up first.If we had a month’s notice, everything would be sold out within minutes.
Yes there will likely be a delay. I'm glad I did my buying over the years when times were good. But I'm also fortunate in that I have a very high income (hint, I pay well into the six figures in income tax) and can buy whatever, but generally prefer to buy....real estate. I feel bad for those on here just getting started and everything is hard to come by and they are living check to check. Buying a spare BCG is a challenge for them...I was there many years ago myself. Luckily education and career building helped me get my income up so that I have a lot of disposable income. Strangely enough though, I've sold about 4-6K rounds of premium JHP as I've become a minimalist this year. I've started selling a lot of stuff off and am getting close to being done. The minimalist lifestyle really is liberating.I mostly agree with that. Chances are we will get hints of it happening before a vote comes down.

If one were to get a muzzle loader for use and wanted it only for shooting , hunting and the like...Something for all to ponder, what if a long term situation/ possible future “new” to us platforms.
I'm OK here. If prices got crazy enough I might sell some more.Assuming we had at least a month notice that online firearm parts sales were to be banned, what parts would you buy before the ban was enacted?
