    Not far from the tree
    Bought another brick of .22lr, a pair of Bushnell Signature Z rings and 3 sets of lower parts kits.
    All my panic buying. But i was planning on getting that stuff anyway. Just bumped up my time frame.

    Should we bring back a term from the past... are we ready to say... 'neck beards' and the phrase 'neck beardery'?

    "Back in the day, sonny, we had these things called 'neck beards'." :fogey:

    Speaking of .22LR.... I should do an inventory...
    I have been buying more ever since the prices dropped but I was waiting to hit 3 cents for a big purchase. Maybe I should go ahead...

    PSA had an upper I'd been looking at for a couple of months and it was $249.99. Got an email special a day or two ago and they had raised it to $299.99. I may be screwing myself, but I won't be ordering it.

    I looked at the PSA daily deals yesterday, and pmags are $8.99 with coupon code plus free shipping. Last pmags I got from them were 7.99, and that was last fall(Oct.). Like you, I will hold off until this blows over.

    I have an PSA AR. I was planning on purchasing a AK variant and a AR pistol for my go to home dense and be done with my rifle collection, but now I feel I'm in a panic to get a rifle before anything comes down. Which would you do if you were in a rush to get one of the other? AK variant or AR pistol even though you already have an AR?

    Whew! I must've gotten in on the tail end of the 7.99 deal. Just ordered 10 a couple of weeks ago (arrived last week) just to add to my stash.

    I have been sitting on a pistol lower for a year now and finally dropped some coin on an upper for it.

    The AR market has at rock bottom and prices will only start going back up in coming months.

    People may start running out to get their rifles now, fearing a ban may be coming, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a run on AR pistols too, since the gun grabbers are so focused on an assault "rifle" ban. Some may look at AR pistols as sort of a loophole that the left isn't focused on right now.

    Kind of like when we saw wheel gun sales spike after Sandy Hook where there was a lot of talk about magazine restrictions/limits.
