Yep, I’ve tried selling off a lot of stuff in the last year and nobody is buying anything unless it’s at “pull your pants down” prices. It’s not just guns, it’s other hobbies as well. People are hurting for money and this is going to go back up the chain to retail and manufacturing.

I noticed that in an email the other day.
Does that mean they are closing up shop or just way too overproduced for awhile and need to clear out inventory quick before the end of the year?

From what I have read around the internet, DSG Arms closed up shop several months ago.

Primary Arms today has an Anderson complete lower for $100, and a complete upper for $230. So a complete AR for $330 plus tax and shipping and transfer fees.

Shops are closing down here, too. And don't wait for ammo prices to drop-it's not going to. Nitrocellulose (?) is in very short supply due to the ongoing wars, plus China was a big supplier (no longer, I believe Biden included that on the AK ammo restoration.) Now it's Norway and Sweden, I believe, neither huge producers. Fortunately for me, I had just about finished my "Clinton will ban guns" panic buying, the distributors were selling at ridiculous prices and over 10 round mags were being dumped when Para gave us the good word. I was in a position to listen and did so.
