I saw a post from someone here that said they thought gun prices have risen
went on GB and looked up one my favorite guns a Ruger #1 and what I noticed
was that on average they have gone up 500.00 since I last looked bought 2 mths ago
Not really sure the cause but I see alot of people trying to cash in literally on the current state of affairs
Hows your area?

At our little local guy, you can't tell any difference now from any other time.
Cases, shelves, and racks are about as full as they normally are, and prices seem to be the same.

Reloading is a fairly small market here, but the stock of components looks normal too.

around here its mostly farmers or hunters,so most people stay stocked up.the few local gun stores and sporting goods stores seam to be about normal on prices of guns and components,im sure the closer you get to atlanta the worse it gets

Local gun shop has some stuff , but he was telling me there is nothing out there for them to order to replenish , as to gunbroker saw a auction for a sks , had it listed as 7.62x39nato , and it was over 1100 dollars , insane .

Our walmart has guns on sale. My LGS went up on the more popular SD guns. I got my new Canik TP9SFX recently for 495.00 OTD. I think that was a fair price. He always sold the Ruger wranglers for 200.00 otd. And they are still 200.

I was in LGS this morning to purchase some powder, AA#5 $28.00 a lb. Checked gun case 3 cases fairly full, only prices I remember are Glock 19 Gen5 new $550, used 1 right next to the new 1 $550. Lots of powder, in fact I was in there last week and shelf was about 1/2 of what it was today. Primers a good supply but no SP. If I remember right LP's were $43 a 1000.

In Salt Lake area you can find some guns but prices have gone up. As for reloading components, forget it. No powder and NO primers.

Round here things are maybe a tick up, price wise. Ammo is hard to find, and primers, but powder is there. I bought a pound of 2400 a few weeks ago for 28.00.

pistols are way up in price at some of the shops and ammo (9mm & 223) is pretty well non-existant now. Did see a case of 223 go for $650 + tax. Farm and ranch store has Ruger Wranglers on sale for $179.

Wal-Mart had a big sale this last week. Saw Savage Axis for $124 and guy behind the counter said a Henry 44 mag was $388 and only lasted a few minutes.

couple months ago I saw on GB a Ruger #1 475 Linebaugh for 1350
now the same gun goes for 1850
just makes no sense but money is the goal apparently
I thought 1350 was high to start but now sheese

One of our larger outdoor shops is very well stocked. Their prices are a bit warmer than most but they do have stock. They do have reloading components but 1# of powder starts at $33.00 or more. I can buy 4# at the same price online while paying hazmat.

One other gun shop that I sometimes frequent was very sparse as far as stock goes. I took a friend who was in the market for a first handgun. They tried to convince him that he needed a Glock. SMDH....

Now, Academy sports. I picked up a Savage defense pump there for $208.00 out the door. THAT was a steal IMHO.

Ammunition is another story altogether. BLEAK...
But FWIW, I have been pumping out 00 buckshot defense rounds like crazy ;)

I was in my LGS a couple weeks ago. They had plenty of long guns and reloading supplies. All seemed to be about the normal price. They normally have several hundred handguns crammed in the cases. They had less than a hundred but the prices did not seem to be inflated.

The local Rural King has about their normal stock of long guns and about 75% of the handgun stock. Can't tell about the prices since their prices always seem high to me anyway.

I was in the local store yesterday. There's a huge shortage of 9mm and .380 ammo around here.

Purchased a Marlin 45-70 SBL about 4-5 months ago NIB on Gunbrokers for $950. Now the same rifle is selling for about $1,400

I've noticed that high end handguns, Lugers, S&W pre Hillary hole models and Detonic Combat Masters have gone up to where I briefly considered selling mine...

I am amazed at what I see Nagant revolvers and Bulgarian Makarovs going for on gunbroker. I doubt I would part with the latter, but the former is something I bought as a curiosity.

There is small shortage on low end SD stuff. Plastic Pistols, black low end long guns. Price is up on all such stuff. Hunting and Target Guns don’t seem to be affected. In fact there is probably not a LGS around these parts that won’t cut you a good deal on hunting guns, used or new they have in stock. Sales on them are fairly dead. There is small market for rifles in Ohio deer legal cartridges.

Everything will start to climb fellas. You dont shut down a world economy and fry small business without severe repercussions. We are still watching the volcano erupt right now... the lava isnt due to hit the villages for a little while. I worked a bunch of 3rd world countries, this isnt my first rodeo. Never seen anything this scale before but as far as 'governments frying small business and buying them all out and giving folks the new normal big business model of low salaries and superinflation" this is as old as the hills. Sorry to be a doom sayer , but by the time this is over folks will be wondering whether it wasnt better just to absorb the death rate. You can always make new people, you cant always get countries back on their feet.

Uh yep... I hate going there as you are not allowed to carry. They had an incident a few years back so they made it gun free. A gun store... gun free...
