I can remember when these things were commonly available and at almost every gun show I went to, you could even order a folding stock model for under $300
(37mm immitation m203s went for $250, I still see these on gunbroker from time to time. I remember there were even big ass firecrackers called "bird bombs" that you could buy for $3 a pop, but then those were banned for some dumb reason )
I almost ordered one about 5 years ago from a company called "firequest" at that time you could have it shipped to you without even needing a drivers license let alone an FFL, then all of the sudden you couldn't, the market seemed to dry up on them, the price nearly doubled and the cost of loaded ammunition units increased ten-fold. What I want to know is why these things have gone up so much in price, especially the 37mm ammo
I recently saw 37mm smoke rounds were $14 A PIECE!!! what is the meaning of this madness!? I can remember a time when they were only $3 and $50 for a case of 30.
I know I sound like an old man complaining about this, like saying I remember when a coke cost five cents, but I'm dumbfounded about why they would jack up the price on these things.
Does anybody here own a 37mm launcher? if so do you load your own rounds?
What useful Information can you give me about the 37mm hobby?
