I was just checking Palmetto State Armory and the most repeated line is TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK.
Their website looks like the shelves of a Venezuelan supermarket, but kudos to them, they did not get stupid greedy and decided to go 200% mark-up with their prices. Guess who will keep coming back as client?

They have some kits still up for sale and I have the feeling they will not last long. I also checked AR 10s (One offer of a stripped lower, no uppers, some parts, no complete rifles) and pretty much the same story with AKs and pistol caliber carbines.

Gunbroker has AR 15s from the usual suspects trying to make a buck in the semi-panic but the prices not as crazy: An “ending soon” DPMS at $600 without any bids, generic complete lower for $179 and no bids either. I figure that prices will go lower so they can sell unless Congress looks like it caves and people will pay again whatever they are being asked.

I am done with the AR fight anyway. I do need to get me a decent rear sight and reliable and cheap magazines. I was told that the D&H 5.56 30rd Aluminum Magazine was a favorite of Pat Rogers and if true, that is a huge recommendation right there. The fact that Palmetto Armory has (had, temporarily out of stock) on sale for $7.99 makes them the ones I want.  Still it is kinda weird to have a rifle magazine you can’t use empty to bash the head of your enemies or to use as hammer forge a truck axle.
