Some thoughts on what happened after a year of the panic buying
We don’t get the phone calls from the panic buyers anymore because things seemed to have calmed down. The thing we dealt with a year ago were all the people price gouging on Magpul Pmags and on AR15’s. Some people were completely off their rockers and lacked the foresight to know the political climate we were in, that no major so called “assault weapon” bill was going to pass. I know some many people that were buying 2-3 guns, sometimes for their sons because they thought they might not get them in another year. Well, that’s not going to happen without a revolution in this Country and considering how many people just armed themselves, it’s a little too late to try and pursue new gun laws when everyone practically owns everything.
We always dealt the the customers that were very particular about what they wanted and when you are dealing with the “gun build” guys or gals you will get specific product numbers. One little gem that we found in the AR15 complete upper receiver sales are the Spikes Tactical Upper receivers. All of the upper receivers we sell are complete uppers because that’s how most people are going to want them. Sure you can save some money buy doing parts kits, but you gotta know what you are doing otherwise the “Franken Gun” term will apply. There are still plenty of customers buying A2 style uppers with standard plastic handguards, but the real high demand with spikes are there STU5025-R2s with the QD sling attachment points and the very lightweight rail systems.
