Noticed at LGS they’re selling the popular long guns in bundle packages. AR + ammo + bipod etc. They won’t just sell the gun. Weird.

Wondering if accessories aren't moving as much as firearms right now.  Was the bundle price the sum of everything or inflated.

Just like the sides and drinks at a restaurant (in particular alcohol), the markup on the accessories is higher.  So, the bundle discount is absorbed more easily by the non-firearm profit margin.

NIB accessories might bring close to retail on here.  Food for thought.

When pandemic first started, shops around the country should've bundled NRA lifetime memberships with guns for first time buyers.

Guns are low profit margin. Ammo is in short supply and highly sought after.  Accessories are high profit margin and available everywhere.

Those combined makes the gun store more money.
