We sell ammunition and have not seen any from our importers yet but i am sure they are coming.

Probably - a lot of people are sort of "panic buying" in anticipation of price increases. Car sales and sales of many other things are up as well.

There are dozens of nations signing up to negotiate trade deals. The EU caved almost immediately and offered 0 for 0, if I remember correctly. The US has been ripped off for decades in trade agreements. That is why many of the rust belt factories are closed and the nation is dotted with shuttered manufacturing facilities. We are the world's largest manufacturing sector mothball fleet.

Hurry up and panic buy.

Haven't been able to buy any Chinese guns in a long time, so no problem there. Cheap Chinese crapola accessories, tools, etc. will be going up shortly I'd imagine.

The only example of this I've seen happen so far is with the Vz.61. I bought one a few months ago for $799. The Czechpoint USA website just updated to $1,019 for the exact same model. That's about a 28% increase.

Lowest prices I've ever seen today. Charles Daly 1911 (made by Brixia in italy) case hardened $329, Sig p226 $649, Jericho steel $449, Glock 34 $449, s&w 686 $649, S&w performance center 9mm $849, RIA 10mm 1911 $379, Canik tri combat $759, and many more. All prices are for new guns.

And the relevance to ammunition and reloading is?
