Merlin Orr Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Hypothetical question. Please don't make any political commentary with your answers...but.. Just suppose - you have an amount of money - say...$2,500.00 - you can tie up for a period of time by Speculating on the Component/gun/magazine/bullet/etc. market. (so to speak). What supply will dry up or cease to exist? What would you buy? To start it off.. I (impulsively) bought a Saiga Shotgun today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ofcrfs242 Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 (edited) I have or would hypothetically speaking invest in AR and AK type weapons as well as high capacity mags. Those would be the first to take a major price jump and would be very easy to turn hypothetically speaking of course.

waxman Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 (edited) I would say the things that are already getting scarce. Primers, (of all sorts) ,AR lowers or complete rifles, High cap mags, Pretty much any small caliber ammo, 9, 40, 45, or 5.56. Just my speculation. If it was banned before, it may soon be again. Oh, I almost forgot Beta mags. Edited November 26, 2008 by waxman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Rusert Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 $2,500 for .223 ammunition. No thought of resale. Just in case the sh!t hits the fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooddog Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Earlier this summer, with thoughts of what could be I bought 4 DPMS receivers, 25K primers and quite a bit of powder. Am always buying bullets and have... well... alot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SA Friday Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Considering the pletohra of items I have seen you snag out of the classifieds over the last three years, I would suggest that storage migth be you primary concern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscott Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Along the lines of SA Friday, secure storage of what you already have might be a good idea. With people being out of work and things being hard to buy, it's probably going to be more appealing to take a chance on stealing your stuff. I already have dogs, but am thinking about an alarm system or maybe building a vault of some sort. If that's not a concern then I'd spread the $2,500 equally among guns, mags, and components.

M ammo Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Buy what you can not make. primers, powder. I invested in casting, now I can make much of what I need, all but bird shot and rifle bullets. and have traiding stock.

zhunter Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 AR High cap mags AR mags extra AR uppers and lowers Saiga is a good choice too. Powder, primers, bullets are a given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 AR Lowers AR Mags 223 ammo STI 140mm mags or tubes (40S&W) M&P mags Primers (SP & LP) Powder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMITH Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Mags and receivers, AR, 2011, and everything else. Mags and serialized parts, that is where I am spending my money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 If I had $ 2500, I'd probably buy a case of AR mags ( Pmags if I could ) & a genuine Colt/Armalite/Bushmaster AR15 rifle from the factory. Reason being that both seem to be in demand regardless of what ever else is going on. You will not lose money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIO Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 (edited) I am more concerned with WHO to buy from. I will not give in to the gouging BS that is going on nor will I ever buy anything from any company or anyone behind it. Cheaper then dirt is/was selling PMAGs for $40 and showing an MSRP of 59.00 (A great savings of 19.00) BS>BS<BS If everybody keeps their pants on and lets the supply catch up with the demand we will be ok. More importantly join the NRA, call your Govt rep, be vocal. AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH...this whole thing pisses me off. Why don't they ban golf clubs instead Edited November 27, 2008 by GIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Primers and powder. Nothing cool about it, but you have everything else you need already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmitz Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 (edited) I would invest in quality stuff... like buying another (Porsche), SVI or STI. Edit: 2500 except the 911 Edited November 29, 2008 by schmitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Buy what you can not make.primers, powder. I invested in casting, now I can make much of what I need, Hypothetically speaking, Wise advice. Value of things, to me at least, is: -anything imported. Buy now what you want right now. -anything you can't make or buy later. To me, that is: LEAD based primers, powder, rifled barrels (especially imported ones) and reliable magazines over 10 rounds. -title II firearms such as supressors, particularly via the trust/corp route.

Thomas Moore Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I agree with previous posts, anything banned before could/will be banned again. Therefore I recently purchased a CZ and a Benelli. I also located some SV mags and bought those too. I think primers and bullets will start to come down now that China isn't buying as much metal as they were in the past.
