I don't lack components, I have a good supply, and I too buy what I can when I get the best bang for the buck.
But, the reality is, my sons and I shoot less now than we ever did because it's that much harder to replace it. I hope with all my heart I'm wrong, but I don't see good times again anywhere in the near future. I'll just stick to my conservative principles and not waste what I have.
One reason I'm going back to casting bullets again......
