1. The talk of gun control,

really drives the market...

I have myself been tempted to sell a few rifles when the prices are driven super high by all the gun ban talk, wait a bit, and use the money to do some serious upgrading with the money made on just such a sell.

I did sell a dozen 30 round AK magazines during the late 90's at $40 a piece, and when the ban expired I used the money to more than fully restock the supply when I found them for $6 apiece. Even at that time I knew where I could get them for about $15 to $20 apiece

I bought "a few dozen" more than I had before, with the money I made from that one panicked buyer..

I did NOT, price my extra magazines, I was not trying to sell them, he made a offer, and I took it.

BTW, the magazines where completely legal, they where all manufactured WELL BEFORE 1994, most likely in the 50's and 60's...It's not my fault people make laws about things they know NOTHING about.
