Why the shortage? Election?
Hey all,
I didn't think I was away from the scene for that long, but....
In my spare time (what little there is with finishing re-training), I started finishing an AR project I started a while back. Nothing special, just a very simple and LIGHT weight AR, using a pencil thin Bushmaster barrel on an A2 upper I've had lying around. I like how it all turned out, and at under 7 pounds, it is just what I wanted. However, I found that I was short a BCG, so I started shopping for one.
Okay, I know it's an election year and all, but serious??? It seems like everyone has had a run on BCG's and is OUT-OF-STOCK. Is this the beginning of the next mad-rush on firearms, parts, and ammo? I hope not. It was ridiculous enough during the last ban when people were jacking up the price on just about anything "tacticool" - and seemingly getting away with it. Capitalism at it's finest - or worst - depending on which side of the counter you were standing on.
So I guess the lesson I've learned this week, boys and girls, is to get out there and HOARD everything you can get your hands on, because you know that Obama or the MAYANS/Zombies are coming for you.
Oops...seems like BCM has a full-auto BCG available for $169 (w/ shipping). More than I wanted to spend, but oh well... Rant Off :shock:
