This is a clear market indicator of the oversupply that continues to build in both ammo and the AR platform.  There is no longer time for the manufacturers to cut back, its already in the pipeline.

They have tried to control prices by bringing them down slowly, but it's late in the game for that to work. More significant action is needed to bring the market back in balance.

 

At some point prices must be cut further to entice buyers to clear out the backlog.  We have seen some of this in Q1-Q2 this year.  If prices don't drop significantly in Q3, we should see some fantastic  "Best Friday" sales in Q4 as both manufacturers and dealers scramble to liquidate inventory and close the books on 2014.

This is what I have been saying also.  The pendulum has to swing the other way.  Get ready, keep and eye out, and be ready to move on the bottoming out before it swings back up to achieve a new balance.  Only caveat is the nutbag lurking in the wings we do not know about.  Need to start ramping up the political side also.  We need to keep and turn around some federal elections this November.  If Bell could only beat Booker.

I recall hearing second hand that there will be a brief period where there will be an ammo glut in almost every common caliber, including .22LR.  Prices will fall through the floor then slowly creep back up to normal (and fair) market prices.  I forget what the original source was but if you Google it, you can probably find the article.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
