Uptick in used guns?

[millerkiller77]

In my LGS this week and noticed they had DOZENS, possibly 50 handguns in the case for consignment, most looked new. Normally there would be 10 or less, same with consignment long guns. Anything like this in your area?

I haven’t noticed it with hunting rifles/shotguns but there are definitely plenty of handguns and AR platforms available locally. Still haven’t seen great pricing to go with the supply though

I figured it was something to do with all the new gun owners of 2020/2021

the prices don't reflect the inventory availability, definitely agree there.

Unrelated, but 9mm should be dropping very soon

I'm looking forward to acquiring panic purchased guns at discount.

Lol, sure thing bud. You spelled $2k wrong and that's still wishful thinking.

I found stacks of cheddite 209s at Scheels and Cabelas this weekend. Maybe see if you can get that stuff shipped to a nearby store.

Can't help with Retumbo however Hodgdon says they're working on bring back enduron like and 8133 is the similar powder.

I noticed a lot of vehicles and campers with for sale signs over the last 6 months. I'm also seeing for rent/sale signs on buildings staying up longer

Yeah I don’t want to pay shipping or hazmat fees, maybe one day the shelves will actually be stocked.

I spoke with my lgs the other day about both trades and consignment. They said they are out of the trade business unless it’s something special and have even gotten pickier about what they take on consignment. They have a lot of rifle inventory, especially in the $1500-$3000 range that I’d suspect will be on the racks for a long time
