To me this was one indication the market forecast a Trump win. .22 is still tight but I expect it will get better. One week before election the LGS had M&P sport AR's for $630. I'm not sure how much cheaper they can get. Academy was selling the same gun for $699. LGS sold out of the sport but still had racks full of AR's on Election Day.

I've been stocking up for the last 2 months

not to sell

just as a hedge in case Hillary won.

I don't care what party holds the White House or a majority in congress. Look how long it took Ramshot powders to get up and running after their factory fire. Then consider much of the powder lots of us use is produced in Europe and Australia and we have no say over what/when/why they legislate.

12-18mo worth of components for your most used firearms is IMO a hedge against:

"Holy crap, season's almost here, I've put off picking up the bullets/primers/powder/brass I usually use and now I have to work up a load in a hurry at a range that's full of folks sighting in their 742's on the biggest paper plates they can find."

Never understood why some people think it's any of their goddam business what another man buys with his money. Call it capitalism because that's what it is. That involves risk. Win some, lose some. Some people bet sports. Chickenscheits mostly, eh? I'll be there to buy it at less than retail at some point down the road either way though. I appreciate their freedom to buy large quantities of ammo. If they need it good for them. If they make money, good for them. If they have to fire sale, good for me.

I bought a schit ton of stuff for the past year or so , right up through Monday night.
I didn't buy it with the intention of selling it if hildabitch won.

I went into the local gun shop, on the 7th, with the intention of picking up some much needed primers. the price was $67 per 1k, doubled since last week. I left empty handed. Capitalism isn't only happening on the consumers end.

I am excited about being able to shoot down some rim fire supplies now that I can hope to restock them.

Hey. I am going to double down and keep buying. 4 years and hopefully 8 years will give me some options that really get me where I need to be before I retire.

I just wish I could walk into Wally world and buy cheap 22 plinking ammo. It's always out around here. Love shooting my Browning 22 pistol and I use the cheapest crap 22s in it for blasting. I don't need match ammo I need volume.

I've always looked for deals on components, mostly on the web. One guy had bad luck with 165 gr. Partitions in his rifle and I ended up getting almost 400 bullets for less than half price. Did the same thing on some Nosler ABLRs as they didn't work on a guys gun. So far they haven't worked in mine but what the hell, I have enough that I'll finally figure it out. I do believe I have enough to out last 8 years of Democrats if I live that long.

I think black rifles will probably decline in price. Lots of sales going on right now.

Hopefully gunmakers will focus more on traditional sporting rifles, and make some interesting things.

I want to drink with Capt. Quint.

You'd have gin and juice with Obongo.

Just kidding.

Be sure to buy high and sell low.

It's the retard way.
