I agree the current prices can’t last. If anything, people are gonna go into debt to get their stash and then sit on it. I remember right after Newtown, no name AR’s were going for $2000. I laughed at those who bought them. 6 months later they were back to normal. In the six month after Newtown, components were nowhere to be found. When I found some, the store owner was opening primer bricks and selling the individual 100 primer trays for $7 each, with a limit of 5 trays. 6 months after that they were back down to normal.
Will it be back to $20 for 100 9MM any time soon? Nope. I’d say by this time next year we’re approaching normal. But this $300 for primers and $1 a round 9MM will be over within 3 months. Those who are willing to pay those prices will have gotten their fix and then the ammo will sit in shelves at that price.
