From my monitoring of gunbroker and the lack of people carting ammo out of te 1500 this past weekend I agree with you. On Gunbroker it seems, barring some specialty ammo, no one is buying 5.56 for more then 400/1k and x39 for 300-320/1k. Just my observations on the topic.
I just snagged 1k rounds of brass reman 223 ammo in an ammo can for $300. Prices are dropping on ammo and gun the prices are dropping too even faster. You can get an AR lower almost anywhere now.
I also have seen prices level off if not go down on some guns. Ammo availability is improving as well. It is still hit and miss on some ammo though. I am haveing a hard time finding primers as well. I need 300 large pistol and no one has any or if they do they want me to buy a press to get the primers.
I would say so. There's guys on here selling just the basic romy for that much. At least this one is the military version with tons of stuff. I was looking at this one too.
