Is another run on ARs underway?

[Hohn]

It sure seems like lowers are mostly out of stock from the usual places.

Not sure if there really is high demand or just tight supplies from companies that know how to play electoral fear for money...

I believe it's happening again, our local rural king is sold out of all its ARs and I sold several of mine.

While GOP control of the House really isn't in doubt, sure would be nice for people to see what the Senate looks like come Wednesday morning before loading up the Visa on stuff...

I saw 8 lowers at point break carmel on friday... and plenty factory built on the shelf. Didnt seem like there was a run.

I am in the process of acquiring parts for my new AR SBR and I see some stuff out of stock but most parts seems to be readily available.... but that can all change.

I have not found a sub $100 lower in several (3-4) months. PSA sold out and no andersons anywhere I'm looking. I'm not really needing one bad enough to spend 200-300 for some fancy skull or spider stripped lower.

Spent some time at Four Guns in Lafayette on Saturday. While they have large amounts of stock on hand, they mentioned that their suppliers are starting to get stingy with large orders for resupply on ARs and parts. They have multiple brand of lowers in stock for 89.99 I believe.

Blythes in griffith is well stocked with AR's....never seen so many

I've seen Anderson stripped lowers jump from $50 to $70 in the last month around me.

Primary Arms has them for $49.95 if your looking.

I was in pointe blank in Carmel and m&j in fortville late last week. Both had lowers and full guns in stock.

wait until tomorrow night or wed morning

After the last few "scares" it's my opinion that most everyone that wants one has one at this point. The market has been over saturated for a long time now. Even if there is a "run on AR's," I don't think it'll last long or do much to the market. At least nothing like the Sandy Hook scare.

Just left Cabelas in Hammond, no Gen 3 pmags left

 

[warthog]

lol, it begins. People wonder why I buy more than I need. I guess in the end, I have learned that people are just plain stupid and will only buy when they are afraid.

 

[sgreen3]

One of the local shops around me said he was having a tough time getting AR parts, namely stripped lowers. With that said another shop were I live has some Anderson's in stock for $69.

That's my thinking, too.

And the marginal justification to buy goes down as more people get them. I'd not be as urgent about getting a 3rd as a 2nd, for example. By now, almost anyone who is willing to entertain the idea already has one.

All that's left is arbitrage and market clearing.

 

[alclark2]

Thanks for the lead. I ordered a few at Cabelas.

 

[LPMan59]

Plenty on the rack and point blank about an hour or two ago

 

[Expat]

I have noticed that AR parts on line seem to be thinning out.
