we went to the local gun show in Conroe Texas
1200 people in line ahead of us 15 minutes before it opened
You could buy anything, but prices were 3x to 10x. stripped AR lowers 300, ARs were 2k and up.
PMAGs were $80
.22LR was $60 for 500 remington hollow point
Crazy
Very soon I may invest in the 3D printer that is large enough to print magazines, I have no aspiration to print an AR lower, being a machinist I would just get a chunk of T6 aluminum and mill one out.
On the other hand I do have a 60 year old fully functioning concrete block press stamping machine and tons of old box dies of extremely strong alloy steel, I can easily make stamping dies to cut pre shaped magazines panels that can then be folded on a jig and spot welded. Same with floorplates, the followers are cast from a polyurethane resin, springs are exceptionally easy to procure.
