Look for some great deals on "assault rifles" soon....
First the good news, it looks like our 2nd Amendment rights will be somewhat secure for at least the next 4 years. The bad news if you were banking on making a killing selling evil type guns after the election had it gone differently, that ship has sailed. But back to some good news - If you controlled your panic and didn't buy up a bunch of the-sky-is-falling-priced guns your dollar will now, or soon go quite a bit further in purchasing evil black ( evil pink, evil purple, evil FDE or whatever color) guns.
I know that at least one of the bigger AR-15 name brand vendors had ramped up their inventory to be ready for what may have been the biggest panic buy of guns in history. At least partly due to that overstocked status, I am guessing we will be seeing some seriously good deals on the evil black guns from some companies in the not too different future. On a local level in the gun classifieds I am noticing that some guys are holding on to their pre-panic pricing, but others who have seen the proverbial writing on the wall are dumping their excess items at some pretty low prices. Sellers on GB and other sites of that ilk will eventually follow when the credit card bills come due. One example I saw was Colt 6920 AR-15 rifles that were priced at $1500 to $1800 on Monday are at $800 - $1000 today and they are not flying off the shelves at those prices.
I am glad that I held on to my cash though I was tempted to buy a SCAR 17s just in case - at the panic price level (Fortunately for my gun collection slush fund, the ONLY "evil" gun I have any desire to buy at this time other than that new semi auto 308 coming from Desert Tech.) but then the prices started going up $200 a day on GB so I just quit looking. Some of them are still listed at almost $4000 OVER retail price which can't last if they want to sell them. I noticed quite a few that sold recently for $4500 to $6000 each! I am betting they will be back down below $3000 in a few weeks.
