| I was at the local gun shop today and heard that Boom To Zoom sent one of there guys in to buy them out of AR15 a few weeks ago. Anyone else hear of this. |
|
Quoted: I highly doubt it. The AR balloon is starting to pop and they are becoming more available at distributors now. Boom to Zoom would just order them instead of paying another dealers retail. I'll ask them this weekend at the Onalaska show.  This weekend is the Onalaska show?? |

I'll ask them this weekend at the Onalaska show. Most distributors that we purchase from are out of stock on most of the items they carry. The last order I placed with LMT (close to $10K) is still around 18 weeks out. RRA orders are 6+ months. I would like to know who these distributors are that have product in stock. It would be nice to be able to tell a customer that I can get him his firearm in a week instead of several months. I wouldn't doubt it one bit. The last Waukesha show a buddy of mine sold an AR to them for damn near full retail and they gladly paid it. |

The store I go it is owned by a close friend to the family and they wouldn't just hype it up for a good story. The sad thing is if B2Z is buying from dealers then the uninformed consumer will be willing to buy from them at over MSRP. I see no problem with this. If it is true, they are doing whatever they have to do to bring money in. If they are out of stock and can not get items through normal channels, they are forced to get it through unconventional means. This is a far cry from buying low and then scalping the items for extraordinary profit per item. Informed consumers who have more money than patience and who continue to be hounded by the NRA will buy just as many or more than uninformed consumers. |

Sadly, anything that is in stock sells out almost immediately. |
