Thread: Price Rise

Has anyone got in early before the inevitable price rises for reloading components, among other things. Talked to a couple of suppliers who are saying 10% just from the US dollar alone. Will be interesting to see what happens.

You can depend on one certainty; that being the government wilk be anxious to recover the massive accrual of credit dished out. Lots of avenues like inreased umport kevies on what they consider to be "non essential items" , fuel taxes, ruc's, gst, carc rego's etc etc etc.

I'm not likely to run out this week

they are dishing out $$ like mad, they even gave $70k to bloody destiny church!!
guess tamaki needs a new harley

Yes. The day before the lock down all the gun stores were packed.

The thing that will shoot the price up is the possibility of the factories closing.

What's in stock now will probably be as cheap as it gets.

The exchange rate has declined about 10% over the last month, I'd expect that to translate to an increase in retail prices more than 10%.


Fortunately I got a year's worth of projectiles (2400) direct from the US in February/March before the lockdown and exchange rate decline

I expect some people stocked up when there were rumours of reloading being in the second tranche of new arms legislation.

I have to admit I did.
I made sure I ordered a seasons supply of projectiles from my US supplier before early March.
Pleased I did, with the drop in exchange rates.

I'd prefer to buy local, but importing direct guarantees quantity and pricing.
