I've been looking around at some of the more expensive better built AK variants and have noticed that they are getting a bit scarce on the net. Now they are still out there but a lot of sites have them sold out. You can always find the century arms crap but the better name builders like Arsenal doesn't seem to have many on the shelf. I wonder if we are back in panic buy mode? On the bright side, I have noticed that ammo is in good supply finally and getting really cheap. I saw federal green tip 62gr 556 on sale the other day for about .26/round after rebate although I can't remember what online site. At the height of the ammo shortage, you were lucky to get that for under $1/round if you could even find it.

Yes and no. I don't think we're in full panic mode yet but I don't think suppliers have been carrying full inventories either considering past history of panic, overproduction, oversupply. Been watching for some time now and not seeing over supply of cheap lowers, lpk, etc. Mostly low stock numbers that in the past week or so seem to be moving.

Interesting, I don't know if I agree with that. I haven't seen "oversupply" in a very long time. At least not really in the past decade.
