The rifle my BIL bought a few days ago for $2150, that was probably also around $1250 in June, was $3500 today. I doubt he will sell them at those prices, but good for him if he does and sorry for the person that pays.

I was at the show today. Longest line I have stood in for a gun show. When we left at 11:00 there was a decent line waiting to get in.
I picked up one of Model 1 Sales complete upper kits (everything you need for an AR minus the stripped lower) for $685 out the door. Last week I picked up a stripped lower for $95. So even in the crazy times I will have an AR for under $800.

BIL and I got there at about 0945 and the line was around the back, but still only took about 10 minutes to get in. I didn't get anything today, but he found a soft double rifle case with good pockets.

your BIL has a Double Rifle! What type, caliber, etc? I've had a jones for one since the last of the chicks left the nest. My Bride insists that I'm not spending "enough money to buy me a new car!" on another rifle.

That argument is getting old. If you don't qualify for any of the discounts it comes out to a little over 50 cents a week. If that is a problem for you good luck buying ammo.

Sure, there are people with more money than sense willing to pay a stupid amount to purchase that which they could have had far easier and economically just a short time ago. God Bless 'em. They have the freedom to choose how they want to spend their money. Similarly, there are people assessing things, deciding they view the probability of a ban differently, and are willing to satisfy the market demand at current prices. God Bless them too and I am glad they have the liberty to choose.

There is no superior alternative to free markets.
