Thank you colt100. I quit posting in this forum some time back because I got tired of the BS and having to defend myself from Red and others that believe that buying enough is "to much" and therefor hoarding and anyone that does that is evil in some way. It aint worth the grief.
Reloading components "have been" and "are" on the shelf more and more in my area, there is almost nothing that I cant go to one of the sporting goods stores and buy if I want it. Components and guns never went totaly away even at the worst of the rush. I have seen posters here in this forum complaining about "black guns" not being avalable, again I have to say thats a pile of road apples. I can go out today and look at no less than 100 of them on the shelf waiting for buyers and yes the DPMS .308's to, what do you want? it's out there to get if you are willing to part with the money for it. By the way one of the .308 cal. DPMS guns for sale is "new" for less than 1,100 at my local dealer and has been for a month, no takers and I know for a fact that's a good price anytime or anyplace.
colt100 and others like us know this will end someday and when the real hoarders have to let go of their stash at 1/2 price that's when it will be time to buy. Until then the whiners will continue to whine and the rest of us will continue to buy what we need when we have the chance and not feel bad about exercising or rights to do so.
Hang in there colt and the others like us, keep doing what your doing and let the other contine to do what they do, after all.....it's their right to whine.
"Flame away whiners".
