Not yet, but I've seen a few guys listing AR's and AK's for way more than they're worth in the last 2 days on ARMSLIST about the only place I've seen it so far.

I'm not going into a panic mode, but there are some reloading supplies I need to restock. Specifically .357 mag brass and bullets, .308 brass, and .45acp bullets.

Talked to my wholesaler today and he said it has been very crazy since Monday. I think we are unfortunately headed towards another scare, I wouldn't be surprised if they don't get a ban of some kind.

I would care to guess the ones doing the buying of ARs already have one or more, and they are looking to flip them when the price is good.

Despite the possibility of a scare, ammo cheap right now and it's a good time to stock up.

Very good investment, I remember during the last scare there was a guy that sold a case of 100 PMags on gun broker for $7,000 that's nuts.

Way to go, Chad. up I still don't own an AR. My assault rifles have levers and are 30-30's. I have enough ammo for a long siege. Quadruple that if were talking 32Ws, 06 or 223.

I've been to your site but unfortunately you don't sell what I primarily shoot. (Cheap Reman .223) It can be had for around .28 a round right now.

We had around 120 M&P Sports and 80 Ruger AR-556's on Sunday. They are long gone. There were some scalpers trying to buy ten to twenty AR's but we limited everyone to two.

Armslist prices going up. Gunbroker inventory is disappearing. Overpriced ARs that were not selling in the past several months are being bid on. I think the cheap ARs are going to be gone very soon. Every time a panic comes out, the FrankenARs appear. Don't trust buying one over the internet unless you have a reputable dealer, or you can hold it first to verify that it is what it is advertised to be.

Vicious cycle. Some sheep freak out, and retailers fan the flames. It always takes months or years to recover. This crap has been going on since 2007, and it was old long ago.

It is not that difficult to ALWAYS be buying loading components, as well as ammo, and to treat it like a savings account.

If we see a few more articles about AR15s flying off the shelf you'll see ads like the one below on Texas Gun Trader:

I have a high end custom Fraken Gun with a polymer lower, built in my garage with high quality chi com parts that I'll let go for the low, low price of $2,200.00. For an additional 200.00 I throw in four old beat to hell GI 30 round magazines. If you act today, I'll include 100 rounds of Precision Monarch 55 grain FMJ for $100.00.

Anyone interested?

My wife asked me yesterday for the first time ever about "do we have enough ammo?"
She is not a gun person at all.

I would advise you take advantage of her comments.

Yep, same thing that I've been seeing. Walmart in Bastrop had a good supply of .22lr on the shelf.
I'm hoping that the last panic taught most folks a few lessons, and that far fewer will over react this time.

Virtually everyone that I know, has been gradually and steadily building their supplies up for a long time now. (It's enough to make a normal guy feel inadequate blush)

I was in Cabelas yesterday picking up a new long range builder. Saw one lady at the gun counter buying a Glock and that was it. They had 2 Smith & Wesson AR's sitting in the "to be processed" area, but no one was there to get them. The racks were full.
