I went to the GRB Gunshow today, There were 4 KSGs there the lowest price was $1799. Kinda wierd how that seems almost reasonable now that I saw them in a store in Katy for $2400. Everything is still overpriced but I think the peak is over

Things are getting to our new normal. ARs that were going for $600 pre-Newtown spiked up to about $2k in late Dec / early Jan. Those same rifles are down to about $800 now. That's probably where they'll settle down. When ammo shelves are full again, we can consider this panic officially over.

I would agree. I watch ammo prices on gunbot.net every day. Recently I'm seeing more and more in stock notices. Prices are still high, but at least the shortage is easing. Prices should ease as well once the higher priced ammo is no longer selling.
One example: 300 Blackout had no ammo at all for the longest time. Now there's three choices, all in stock. Outrageously priced, but in stock, which is an improvement from the past.

Yes, sir. I am slowly seeing this to. Once supply slowly gets higher prices will slowly start to drop but I do think that we did get many new firearms owners that came into the market and this will probably increase the average demand for the foreseeable future. This is not unlike what happened in 08 just a larger scale imo.

Even the prices are starting to come down from their highs. I think people have tired and decided the double and triple prices compared to 6 months ago are more than they are willing to pay any more. And since the buying has slowed, the prices are starting to come down.
The ammo still has some time to go before people that don't shoot much anyway decide they have enough for a while and the manufacturers can catch up on restocking their retailers.

It may never fully calm. We have a President who hates the Constitution and doesnt feel bound by any laws. The borders will be formally opened with unrestruicted immigration, to every third world slug as well.

My wife, who is 75, recently had a stroke. Fortunately, only her speech is now affected and she is doing well. The care she received in the hospital and home nursing was the finest we have ever seen. The nurses and other professionals, many from
Third World countries, were outstanding. IMHO your comment denigrating those from Third World countries as "slugs" is contrary to the dignity of the Texas CHL Forum.

Withj unretricted borders, it isnt the professionals and educated people who come here with the intent to follow the law and work, it is the illegal aliens who come here, (some with serious criminal records, in the nations they ran from). Should the "Marathon Bombers" have been deported, when they became involved in radical terrorist political groups ?
