What concerns me is when some supply shops or a gun shop get some in they may put them up on GB to try and make a killing.
Even when they become somewhat available most likely 100 bucks per thousand.

sooner or later the old law of supply and demand has to take over and swing the pendulum back the other way

So, for what should cost about $160, this guy is trying to peddle for $1000? That guy is only 15 minutes from my house, I feel like going over there and giving him a slap in the mouth! But hey its a free country, maybe he really doesn't want to sell them, just trying to make it look like it

Is he selling out of his house or is it a gun store. If its a gun store maybe one should post the name of it and not patronize his store.

Went to a gun show Sunday ( more on that later). The prices for ammo were astronomical. Very little 9 mm but what there was, was going for $60 to 90$ per box. No .38 to speak of, little .357 and that was about the same. I got lucky and got a box for $24 as one vet to another I was wearing my 25th Div. hat and he had been with the Wolfhounds. I forgave him for that. Gun prices were decent. A lot of used guns. A lot! A few Henry's. Nice pump .22 for 519.00. Almost bought it but I like to stay married. :)

The last gun show I went to, about 2 weeks ago, had Zero reloading components. There used to be at least one dealer, usually two.
Another one scheduled next month, if Covid doesn't shut it down.
I rarely ever buy a rifle, but when I do, it's a Henry.

I sure would like to find some small pistol primers for a decent price, but now days you can't even find them.
Fortunately I have a few hundred rounds of primed brass set aside as well as a few small pistol primers left.
I do have lots of shotgun, small rifle, large pistol, and large rifle primers on hand.
I tried to find a trade locally for any of these for small pistol primers, but no dice.
Guess I'll just have to sit back and wait like everyone else.
I also cannot find any .357 FMJ bullets of any kind.

In another post they show a gatlin gun. It’s $5,000. I wonder if they will trade for 5,000 primers? :lol:
