That’s likely because you are new to the game or are used to microwaved popcorn and other forms of instant gratification. Buy a suppressor, SBR or machinegun, you’ll be able to feed them by the time you get the approval back. Maybe have a pistol or rifle built by one of the top builders where there is more than a year waiting list.
One positive about all the folks that decided to get in at the height of this panic is, everyone should learn the same lesson others have in past panics but right from the start.
The stuff is out there, just look at the other people buying and selling stuff they don’t need on auction sites, to people buying in panic mode at 5x or higher mark up.
During the last panic (Obama re-election/Sandyhook) I listed a Dillon 650 on eBay that went up to $1840, I didn’t set the stupid price, that’s just what at least two people in a panic/rush came to because At the time Dillon had a 24 week lead time on 650’s. 3 weeks later I had a new 1050, bullet feeder and a little cash left over. Be calm and use your head.
