I bet people are using bots like the GPU scalpers. :shakes head:

Going to have to remember this one.

It's a piece of cake to use. Well worth it. :tup: Wish I had one years ago.

I bet some are. I've seen some of the video's from recent gun shows and the people there selling ammo have stock piles of it. Selling it for 3 to 4 times over. :mad:

Seen some of those videos too. :shakes head: :mad:
There is a gun show on my area this weekend. Definitely not going because of all the scalping. Fortunately my local guns stores have been keeping their prices reasonable, when in stock. However I’m not in need of ammo so I’ve been able to stay out of all this nonsense. Stocked up a long time ago.

What do you guys think is going to happen after the 20th WRT to the 2A?

Of course there’s going to be a lot of proposals and promises made but what do you think will actually pass?

Have a feeling the politicians don’t grasp the reality that was this past year’s gun sales. I imagine there will more push back from their constituents than they expect. I think they will get a few things passed but nothing like what they are taking about. One thing I think has a good chance of happening is the ban on on-line sales.

I'm stocked on everything I need for the most part. I'm just getting stuff for the RPR 338 rifle. I have 5 lbs of H1000 and 3 lbs of RL26 for it. To load for 100 rounds for it. That's 1.3 lbs of powder. Need to get more Hornady 285 gr match bullets for it.

The democraps are the best gun salesman's. :icon14: I have a feeling that things hit the supreme court. The bump stock lawsuits are not holding up in court. The feds are losing.

There are a lot of people out there that are really regretting not stocking up earlier.

Indeed. I’m hopeful but trying to be realistic.

I stocked up for Y2K. I'm just replacing stuff that I've been using. :tup:

I'm in fair shape, I didn't buy enough 6.8 SPC when I got the rifle and now the same with 300 BLK. :icon14:

Unfortunately, I didn't do a very good job stockpiling powder & primers in the last few years, but I have done a pretty good job with ammo. :tup: Most was reloaded in the early 2000s, and I've taken a few out to make sure things are okay.

Prices going up 4/1.

TBH I’m not surprised. I’m actually surprised that this didn’t happen sooner. I bet it is going to get worse before the end of the year. Especially when all the inflation from printing all that money starts kicking in. :shakes head:

The price of everything will be (is) going up.

So true. :shakes head::shakes head::shakes head:

Ugh... the 70s all over again.

How does that Hank Jr song go.. "Interest is up and the stock market's down/and you only get mugged if you go downtown"


Here we go again....:shakes head::shakes head:

We bought our first home a single wide mobile home in 1985. It was $15,500 and the interest rate was 15. Stick mortar homes were like 12.

That sounds about like what my parents told us. We moved into our first purchased home in Houston around that time (83/84ish). Remember mom telling me interest was like 12%.

Yeah....:icon14:

I feel sorry for anyone that is thinking about waiting till late summer to buy a house... It's gonna be fugly....:eekdance:

Get it now while the interest rates are at historic lows.

I'm good. I bought mine 2 years ago. :tup:

I just have to deal with my mortgage company calling me every month wanting me to refi.... :ugh2:

Yep mine is at 3.5 so it is pretty close for me to look at it at 2.5 but part of me just doesn't want to deal with the hassle.

My rate is higher, but it is a $0 down VA loan. If I refi, it will only save about $200 a month, but dividing the savings into estimated closing costs leaves me with a break even point of about 15 months down the road. No thanks.

It would be worthwhile if the break even point was 6 months on a 15 year note, but I don't have 30% equity to get the best rate. :ugh2:

We’re locked in at 3.125% and on the 15 yr plan. Kid will be in college and I’m gonna retire.

For all you fear mongers'. Stop spreading rumor's. LOL

How's is it fear mongering? Have you checked to see what is left on the shelves? Have you checked the prices on gun broker?

Seen that. It's old news. Other manufactories are having a materials shortage. This came out the other day. ADG can't get brass to make the casings. Some stuff will not be made until 2022. Lead is in short supply a long with other materials.

We have the perfect storm. A pandemic that caused shortages in manpower, materials, delivery. Riots. Anti gun president. 5 million new gun owners for 2020. Plus the gov't contracts.

I put 0 down on a FHA loan over 10 years ago. Refinanced 3 times in the first 6 years of ownership. From 5% down to 2.75% (also went from 30 yr to 25 to 20 to 15). Rolled closing costs into financing each time so never paid a dime out of pocket. Saved over 10K in interest costs over the life of the loan each refi.

Should have bought ammo instead lol

The sky is falling, I get it. The same nut jobs bought it all up again.

Hopefully, mid summer things should loosen up. But if the person in the high tower has his way. There won't be a firearms industry in this country anymore. Remington went bankrupt, and got bought out. Think this is the 2nd time in the last few yrs. Colt is in the process of being bought by a foreign company.

Holly chit!!!!!! I bought a box of 20 rounds of 285gr Hornady match for my 338 LM in Dec for $103.00. Looked today for the same thing online. $173.99. :eek: Talk about inflation. :icon14:

Who here owns a P226 Mk25?

P229 here, what do you need for your P226?

Need? LOL. All want. I have lots of 9mm. This looks to be one of the best made for the money. I want to verify this in my hands. I want to test and compare with my Glock. I like the longer 4.4" barrel on this version.

Okay. I got my P229 in 40, then bought the 357 SIG barrel for it. I like the P226, I may still grab one, if I can find one reasonable. :tup:

I want it in 9mm . And definitely a newer mark 25. I could only find 1 at the gun show last weekend. It was at least 30 years old and not the one I wanted. Same with a Benelli M4, I could not find even one of those. Lots of over priced ammo. I did get some 8mm from 1953 for a reasonable price. And had a chance to finally shoot the WWI mauser.

:eek:

OMFG!!!

I wouldn't want to either fire that rifle or get hit by the projectile. With that kind of terminal energy, it will obliterate whatever it hits. :eek::eek:

I'd love to see it fired though :tup:

No chit! The rifle would need be mounted to something substantial and fired remotely lol.

This was only 1600 fps but in the comments section they say it's been fired at 3000 fps
