Thanks again to Richard, for setting the horizon level.
The grabbing and holding of the ammo and weapons by distributors is amazing. As mentioned, enough of them yell Second Amendment, but think in terms of Dollars.
We have a local shop that is family run and most people agree it is a decent place to purchase. I had mixed feelings on a few occasions, after I experienced the "increased costs" have migrated into other business transactions. The prices on the instant background check run through the Commonwealth went to $40.00 each, at this particular shop. One phone call for two lowers I had transferred in cost me $80.00. The Commonwealth charges less than $3.00 for the call.
They even had the balls to try and charge me for a manufacturer repair, when all the costs including shipping were covered by the manufacturer.
They're selling ammo "cheaper than other stores in the area", but at 5% to 10% less than the extremely higher prices of the other guys.
No, I will not return to this shop.
It does show that even as they are pro 2A, they're running the people through the grinder.
Except for a couple parts, I have everything I need, thankfully. The parts will come through, eventually.
There must be one hell of a warehouse piled high with Bolt Carrier Groups, though.
