    Californians will pay anything. Its sad.
    That SKS looked almost new, if a Californian bought it that is one of the few "legal" guns they can own. I paid $350 for one last year. Great guns too. Wouldn't pay $1,300 though. But people with the $$$ don't care about price.

    I sold one on here 3 weeks ago for $300. It being legal in CA was my assumption for the high price.

    We ought to see AR prices elevate between now and the election. Biden's running mate has already stated if they are elected, she will push for legislation making it mandatory for everyone who owns an AR to have to turn it in to the government.
    Can you imagine how many AR will magically disappear?
    Feds come to my door I will tell them I sold both of my ARs prior to the election. I sold them to individuals I met online and I do not remember their names. Cash money, no paperwork.
    That's my story and I am sticking to it.

    Build one. All in I was 600 on 10.5” 300 earlier this lockdown and just ordered a new 16” 5.56 upper from GHOST for 300 for a lower I had laying around

    But I agree with @Mills ammo is gonna Be the issue Seeing as it already scarce.

    When things stabilize to somewhat normal again, I'm curious as to how many gun owners might end up getting into reloading.
    If I had to guess, not many. As Cam said, ammo will be available again. I may or may not keep loading 9mm but I'll keep loading everything else.

    I will be sure to keep a healthy supply of primers on hand.

    Small percentage. It’s another hobby, expensive to get into, technical, with some mystique behind it. Even at $0.50/rd differential, it’ll take 2000 rounds just to recoup the price and most people just don’t see themselves ever shooting that much in a lifetime.

    I was just curious. I do think that I will be adding 9mm and 223 to those I already reload for in the near future though.

    I already reload 9mm, .40 and .45. I think about .223 but trimming cases and all that hoopla just seems to much like WORK. :)

    If I did, i'd sell my 650 and buy a second 1050 just for .223. One word of warning, never buy a 1050, it's like flying first class....it will just ruin you for anything else. :laughing:

    If you get set up for trimming cases, it really isn't that much work. Lots of options that make it easy and fast.

    A lot of people don't realize how much they shoot. When I worked at the Walmart sporting goods, half my customers were regulars. And spent nearly a month what it would cost them in equipment to start with a single stage. And that is just what they spent there. A few months and the gear is paid for. For the guy that just hunts and goes through a box every 2 or 3 years, it would be a waste. Halfway serious shooters would save money or shoot a lot more for the same money.
    But then again, I had a lot of customers that would rather spend the money than give up the time to load.
    Individual priorities.
