Our Low Price:
$99.97

I wonder if any of their execs catch the irony of selling a single 30 round PMAG for $99 on a site called............eh, never mind!

I checked Sportsman's Guide the other day and their prices for the mags I looked at had not gone up. Of course They were on back order, but the prices were the same as pre-Sandy Hook.
Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

I don't expect prices to remain the same when demand is way up and supply isn't, but $100 for a magazine is ridiculous.  I'll go to Sportsmans Guide or some other on line seller to buy Eley, Wolf, etc.

Dirt ain't cheap anymore  =(
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

Saw on Gunbroker yesterday a brick (500 rounds) of Thunderbolt .22lr for $80.  Prices are crazy high for everything.  As for CTD, I'll keep their practices in mind in the future when prices (hopefully) return to normal.
No, I'm not mtnbkr.  ;)

There is no .22 available up here on the mountain where I am.  While in the local gun shop today I heard the owner tell a customer that a box of 50 was $18.49.  If that is true around the country some of us are now millionaires.

My buddy in NC just picked up 3 bulk packs of .22 at a Walmart for $20 each.

.22 ammo has shot to .50c per round or more lately.

If you are lucky you can get it for reasonable if you luck into it at WalMart right when a shipment is delivered.

the last thing you need is rabies. You're already angry enough as it is.

OTOH, there wouldn't be a tweeker left in Georgia...

The interesting thing about this panic is the cool/wierd stuff that peeps are dragging out of their closets to throw on Gunbroker and the like
