However, I have also noticed pre-panic prices on firearm accessories...just picked up some Troy battlemags for $10.95 this week so there is still hope.
Ammo is going to be the last to return because the general firearms population is still worried about availability and snatching up what they can when they see it, not that I blame them for doing it.
I'm just going to "hold/squat" & wait out the madness until some semblance of normalcy returns...although I sure would like to get my hands on some small rifle primers & some Varget or Tac :'(

i almost feel that stores need to jack up the price a bit to make it less attractive for the gougers. i stocked up a bit(not by most people's standards, but my one and only .22 is a bolt action) after the '08 panic subsided so i have enough to go plinking if i want to. i heard one of the employees at cabelas saying that when they get a shipment of .22 ammo in, it's a good way to measure how many people come in the store(because every one will leave with a box of it until it runs out).
i really doubt we'll ever see a return to the $10, or even $15 bricks of ammo, but i feel that's more due to inflation and material cost than anything else. when's the last time you bought a box of 12 gauge target loads for $3.99?

Ha! No kidding....

There is no NORMAL any longer. Ever since obummer came in things have gone south; far south.
South? I thought they went East, all the way to the Red East :chuckle: :bash:

I kind of wonder how the pending ammo law in Kalifornia will effect things. Will the residents of that state just buy up in bulk in AZ, NV and OR...keeping the supply low/price high in those states? But with all their gun/magazine bans and restrictions, will they even be able to own guns or shoot to make it an issue?

We all have normative views of what ammo, gas etc should be, but that is not always what is normal.
Unless there is a significant change in mining and extraction regulations, I don't think well ever see .22lr below $15 a brick ever again or gasoline under $2.00/gal. Laws and taxes are a factor, but so are raw commodity prices as well. :twocents:

I thought they already are "normal" ??? Prices are set by where the quantity supplied equals the quantity demanded and where marginal revenue equals marginal cost. What is an"normal" price of a gallon of gasoline?
