Ok, so .22lr is still too expensive. But otherwise, we've come to a time where ammo, magazines and firearms are back to reasonable prices and availability. The shortages and price hikes caused by Obama-induced panic buying have eased. Now is a "calm" in the market, and if you're able, a good time to stock up.
Some deals that I've seen recently:
- AKs for $400 and less
- Cases of cheap .223 and 7.62x39mm for under $250
- Quality GI-style AR-15 magazines for under $8
- Deals on quality surplus .308 in military packaging (strippers and bandos)
- Mosin Nagants--still dirt cheap
- 5.45x39 surplus ammo--still dirt cheap
- PMAGs for under $15, all day long
- AR .22lr conversion kits w/ 3 mags for under $175
- Glock magazines back around $20
The "calm" won't be around forever--the Obama induced panic buying was certainly
not the only time we'll ever see such conditions in the market. And with many concerned about hyper-inflation, having some $$$ in tangibles like guns, mags and ammo certainly isn't a bad idea!
