[QUOTE="LakeRatt, post: 2059839, member: 19275"] I think there is a shady element at work here, not just supply and demand. I was lucky that i was able to build a ar last year when everything was plentiful and cheap. Then in august my father decided he wanted one. I started to buy and build in september. I literally bought the last parts on the shelf at regular prices. I could see the problem coming. Now 700$ ar are selling for 1700$ ! if you can find any or parts. Then i ordered a 1000 rounds of 223 at 399$ the very next day it was all gone. When i do see it its 700-800 $ crazy! I had to make a tough decision at the gun store right before Christmas. They had a colt defender me and the wife wanted, but we talked and ended up buying a reloading setup to reload .45 and .223. Now i am trying to assemble a collection of reloading supplies and am finding empty stores devoid of powder and primers. forget about brass! over the last few years for some reason i felt compelled to take most of my brass home and put it in a giant glass jar for decorative purposes. Now it is very handy. I am not a stockpiler but all 5 of us enjoy shooting on a regular basis and am becoming frustrated with rationing ammo out to my family so we can have fun. My youngest only enjoys .22's right now. Its hard telling him I dont have any and when he asks why? i dont have a good answer. [/QUOTE]
