Brownells is out of Pmags? Wow, that was fast. I placed a sizeable order on Friday – coincidentally, I had not heard of the school thingy until around 5:00 PM – and got my e-mail today that it was shipped.
Must have been divine intervention or something; having lived through 1986 and 1994, maybe my subconscious saw the panic-buying coming.
I do remember thinking on Saturday that perhaps I might not get that order, and also that I’d hate to be working in the shipping department of Brownells, Midway, et al.
Yep, got my PMags today…along with a few other goodies. Hard to believe that they are currently fetching 10sx what I paid for them as I open the box, and no, I’m not selling any. I’m pretty sure those I have should last me through the rest of my life if I’m careful with them. It is with sweet sorrow thinking that I ordered them before the ‘big news’ that affected us all.
Frankly, talking with every customer I can get to converse at a crazy gun store, there’s a lot of yahoos buying up just so they can re-sell at higher prices – vultures! And there’s no bet that post-ban one will be able to make such a transfer, as in California where if you own one you will be the last such owner by design of the legislation; no grandfathering.

I will confess to panic-buying some AR mags yesterday on lunch.
I wasn’t the only one there, either.

Think mags are scarce, try finding a quality bolt carrier group for an AR…

“…I might not get that order…”
It’s that time of year, brother. Things *do* get “lost” in the mail from time to time. Especially nice stuff.
Where’d you say you live again? 😉

Most important essay on gun control in the last ten years: http://westernrifleshooters.wordpress.com/2012/09/11/what-i-saw-at-the-coup/ It’s a must-read. Read it and more importantly share.

Brownells had a 10 for $99 shipped deal on PMAGs that morning. Saw it on Slickdeals, went to grab a set, they’d pulled the plug already.

I might have purchased some, then again might not have:-)
