AR15's may be scarce in Cal but are as common in Kentucky as missing front teeth. Fun range rifle. The bullet will drill a hole through 1/4" plate steel. Also used as a hunting rifle. Deadly accurate.

This is ******* ridiculous. I have gone to EVERY SINGLE gun store in my city and not ONE of them has a SINGLE rifle in stock!! What is this? Its like something out of a movie! Bullet prices are retarded!!! Something IS going down. And its above our pay grade to figure what the ultimate outcome will be.

I've searched high and low for magazines! The local store would only sell me one with an AR

AR15's, components and accessories have been in short supply for months. Now, they are simply unavailable. Right now, magazines are going to be impossible, and even if you do find some, expect to pay $30 and up. Ammo...likewise impossible.

Gunbroker is just unbelievable.

Our only hope is santa

Yeah good luck getting anything.

I regret not buying a few extra receivers and dozens of pmags a few months ago. I could probably undercut a lot of people selling pmags at $50 pop and still make a killing. Stripped receivers are going for 5-10x their normal prices. Insane.

Ammo... I am waiting on a shipment of some 9mm. Conserving everything else.

Anyone get any cool gun stuff for Christmas?

Was gifted an aR15 survival parts kit, shooting gloves and a galco kingtuk for the ruger lcp

m4a1mustang · 12-25-2012, 05:30 PM

Nah, no gun stuff for me.

Impossible. Non-registered part? No. It would be just like the AWB '94. No NEW mags would be available. We could keep what we have, because rounding them up? No way.

That's why I like a lot of the polymer mags, in addition to performance, they have handy date-codes.

Heavily restrict transport outside the home... no concealed carry?

The last one... maybe not. But I think the AR ban, closing the "gun show loophole," and limiting magazine capacity.

Of course they'll completely overlook the real problem, which is mental health.

I don't necessarily have a problem with requiring an FFL to broker private party sales as long as there is a reasonable maximum brokerage fee that they can charge. This would prevent law abiding gun owners from unknowingly selling to criminals.

I think mental health records should be better integrated in the background check process. It could help prevent future VT and Aurora type events where the shooter had a clear mental health issue that should have made them ineligible for firearm ownership.

My FFL charges $10 per transfer. I'm down with that. The problem is that this is the government trying to regulate non-livelihood private commerce, and that is unacceptable to me.
