If you read into that report though, the resting value is still high. Obviously the OBAMASCARE2/SANDY HOOKMASTER numbers are gone, but I bet the average sales compared to say, 2007, for example, (when things didn't suck too much) are still going to be higher.

I really dont see prices returning back to that pre 2007 level well..ever. What all this Obamascare shit did was highlight the sad fact of reactionary gun buying. People actually bought AR's for 3 grand that are worth half that that or worse in some cases. It will take a long time for value to decrease after its been proven that price doesnt stop purchase.
Oh personal rant: None of this will save you from " Preban" buzzword price gouging.

The gun prices have pretty much fallen back to normal but ammo is going to suffer from sticky price, there's just no way around it with all the new shooters that have shown up in the past few years.

Plus all the orders from DHS and other .gov agencies snarfing up so much of the ammo produced.
Maybe its just the type of firearms im interested in. Would be JUST my luck.

From what ive seen pistols are still moving. Mainly in the CCW market. AR and rifle market has gone back to normal, many shops are over stocked.
Ammo still is in under supply especially 22.
Gun parts and reloading stiil can be hard to get but prices have gone down to somewhat normal levels.

Stuff is as rare as unicorn turds.
I picked up a few "mythical" CCI Mini Mags at Shooters Outpost on Thursday ($8.99 per 100). I also grabbed a can of Federal XM193 420 round for $189 while I was there. It would be nice to actually see bulk packs of .22lr again.
Dont know where you are shopping but I'd love the location. I still see firearms well above where they were before all the scare stuff happened.
Hah!
Liberal propaganda and you guys are falling hook line and sinker for it.
Last year at this time was an anomaly. Sales are higher now than they have been any year except last year. NRA did a nice piece linked from their facebook page: see below for NICS check stats.

Does this mean the only good gun sales are in June/July?
