Was just looking on GB. Ruger Ranch Mini 14 bidding up over $1000 and several listed for asking price of $1200. How high will these go?

Been trying to figure out if the jacked up prices are a result of panic buying or two trillion dollars being dumped into the economy making the dollar worthless. Maybe a combo.

Remember all the fear and speculation when the price of gold was on a run? Idk. Anyone’s guess. All about supply vs demand. You’d think eventually everyone would decide they’ve bought enough or spent enough. 🤷‍♂️

Any magazine fed 223/308 will be bringing a premium right now. Fear of ban/regulation is driving prices up.

Meh. The AR-15 prices have creeped up a bit but nothing like they were after Sandy Hook. Prices haven't gotten there yet anyway

IMO, the Republican packed Supreme Court pretty much kills off the gun ban topic . . . at least for the next decade or so. Keep in mind gun manufactures love the idea/discussion of possible gun bans for obvious reasons. As far as I can tell, the prices are primarily driven from the supply side at this point. Same story in a lot of other sectors and industries. Supply chains are choking off deliveries. However, demand side is picking up in other areas like domestic travel and recreation.

Seems to me that manufacturers went into overdrive producing AR lowers when demand was high. I wonder if some of those rehit the market and satisfied some of the demand.

Great time to sell your guns and ammo smile. Eventually, supply side will balance out and prices will relax. The inflation concerns have yet to surface (in typical consumption areas) as most of the excess liquidity has gone towards asset prices.

You could always count on Palmetto State Armory for a good deal on an entry level AR and even those are going up steadily.

gun prices aren't "shiii%" compared to gunbroker selling prices on primers, ammo, components.

Ok. That qualifies as the funniest thing I’ve heard all week.

People are just being stupid with buying guns right now IMO. I’ve sold several non-tactical type guns for well over double what they were worth pre panic. On the other hand, I sure have not found any deal lately either.


The chances they come, and the chances they go.
But the time. You don't get that back.

Ruger skeleton stocks are selling for $1000+ now. Used to sell for $300 at every used gun shop. Heck I bought 2 NIB 7.62x39 1/1000 for $350 each, they are going for $1200 now!

Except that it doesn't have to go through the Supreme Court. If passed it would be years if ever, before the Supreme Court would even look at it.

I don't understand the high prices.

If Biden gets confirmed and inaugurated, Bezo O'Rouke will be gun czar, and will start "assault weapon" buy back program and slap taxes on them. So what is the point of first buying them only to lose them?

On the other hand, if all the Sidney Powell vote fraud "unleash tne kraken" is true ( see the gateway pundit website), and the election results go to Congress with a 269-269 dead heat, and Congress state electoral vote ( which favor Trump), Trump is re-elected, then gun panic is over and prices drop down.

Each scenario does not support crazy high ("stupid") gun prices. To me, the inflated pricing is just fear/panic buying, and is a fool's market. I am not playing in it.
