i can see everybody's side on this. and trust me when i say im not trying to start WW3 in the forums. i just think its wrong when you ALREADY have the product in stock that you paid a certain price for and was selling it for a certain price. then you got some insider information, now you want to make more of a profit because of it. i could see if they was able to get more but it cost X amount more, so their price went up, which is what happened in the pandemic. plants shutdown, supplier stock went low, therefore from the manufacturer prices went up. and you are absolutely right braddah Flapp, food, water and shelter are way different then guns and ammo. but my point was that, it is wrong for companies to capitalize on this sort of things. and if its to say they doing it to keep the lights on, they lights was on in the pandemic to, without the ammo. they make most of their money off of accessories. but i dont want argue about this with any of my 2a braddahs about this. as i stated in my original post, you can take from this what you will...i for one will not support a company that is willing to do that kind of practices.. mahalo

about an hour after posting that their distributer was canceling/back ordering 5.56 ammo due to shortage. Firearms international raised their price on their in stock 223 cases..i could see if we was ordering online to be delivered to their store. but it was product that was already in stock and selling for 549.99. now price is 599.99. i dont know about you guys, but to me, thats BS. taking advantage of a bad situation. take what you will from this post, just thought i would mention it.
