I voted still there because those that do have aren't selling and those that do want can't find and the manufacturers are still behind in filling orders

Thanks for the input. Ive been seeing parts coming around on a lot of the websites I visit. I also have been seeing people not wanting to spend tons of money anymore too.

It is settling down a little.  Still hard to find bullets at times.

Jingles makes a good point, supply has not returned on a lot of items.

I was at a store Friday and they had 10+ ar rifles on the rack. Ranging from $650-1500 price. If you want an ar you can buy them now at more normal prices.

Parts and complete Uppers are still hard to find.  However, if you are looking for a complete rifle, there are many to be had at almost normal prices.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

The Walmart here in Rexburg Idaho has had ARs in the case every time I've visited for the last month.  They're getting frequent shipments of Tula .223 and 7.62x39 as well. 

On the internet, lowers and uppers are very available now and at near decent prices too.

I'd say the buying craze is over, or almost over.

Everyone who had to have one or two now do. Manufacturers greatly increased production to meet demand. Now theres lots of new stock and no real demand. Prices are back to preboom days.
