I was talking to an industry insider type on the phone yesterday. He wanted an update from our area up here. His comments not mine..Said it seems as though ALL useful rifles especially military typse made in the last 100 yrs are pretty much gone ...sold out..ammo is in very short supply..if it'll shoot it has been sold. He said and I quote..it doesn't look like people are buying because they think these may be banned..it looks as though people are preparing for a possible war. I didn't realize it but what he said is somewhat obvious if you discount the conspiracy bull crap. This guy is an executive for one of the large firearm manufacturers.. Not one of the big AR manufacturers either.. He is actually concerned about the future of the US. He told me that there is a shortage of firearm quality steel for making barrels etc. In my case I ordered another Dillon Super 1050 last month..am waiting for it now..but am turning all my 223 brass laying around into something useful. Then the 45 brass. A guy just GAVE me 2 5 gal buckets of Federal 38 Spec brass. At the gun show this weekend..I sold 62 bullet moulds..62?? Holy crap!! They even bought 2 of the real expensive H&Gs I had on the table for eye candy.. The first one a fellow picked up and said..is this for 41 mag?? Said yep..asked how much...It was eye candy..told him 300 bucks..and he didn't even try to get the price down..Just paid me for it. Luckily I bought 21 more moulds from a fellow I know..so I still have a few. I really didn't want to sell that mould dang it! The overwhelming comments I heard wasn't a real fear of things being banned..it was absolute defiance of any new laws that may be passed or Presidential edicts. In my opinion..this is a bit scary. What was that comment about living in interesting times??
