    I remember that, those truly were the good old days.


    They haven't banned guns or ammo but they're doing a good job of pricing them out of range for the common man. Even if by some miracle we get through this without some major restrictions, you know the prices will keep going through the roof.

    Damn-it! I went to check on my order and Brownell's has me on Back Order status even though it said the Troy Industries magazines were in stock at the time of my purchase 2 days ago.

    Ya think they might have sold yours to some one else for twice the price and put yours on hold till they can get more?

    No, they never have done stuff like that. Their retail prices are still the same on the site. What they said was their automated inventory system couldn't update itself fast enough and keep up with the sunami of orders. I've seen a statement that they sold 3.5 years worth of rifle magazines in less than 2 days.
