Anybody else having trouble accessing Gunbroker or Gunsamerica sites?  I can't get on either.

GunBroker "buffered" for about 2 minutes, then opened and is refreshing slowly. I understand that Bud's was overwhelmed most of today as well.

 

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

I was able to using Chrome, but it took about two minutes. 

I also noticed that there don't appear to be many new listings coming on.  Not alot of sales, and not alot of relisting either.

I noticed too that the listings are way down for days now.  Probably too difficult to get the uploads to take.

Heavy traffic on the sites is bogging them down and crashing them.  I spoke to the guys at CDNN on Monday and they had over 1,000 internet orders stacked up from the weekend.  RSR, one of the largest distributors, has had their site crashing for the past 3 days.  Everyone I've talked to has said that the last few days have been the busiest days in the history of their business.  A couple just laughed and said "you wouldn't believe it".  RSR had over 5k AR-15 mags. in stock Monday morning - they were gone by the end of the day.

I took a quick look at 3 LGS's this afternoon

The one I like the least, but a big dealer-sold out on AR's, selling out quickly on everything similar. About all they expect to have left tonite (AW type items) are the big $$$ H&K's

The one I like the most is answering the phone with "no AR's and no magazines".

The third, and biggest in the area, was so packed I just drove on by, but I know that yesterday they had a couple of Mini 14's, on AR's, no mags.

In all three, hunting rifle sales are very slow, shotguns moderate, they can't give away a revolver, and hi-cap semi autos are selling well (lot's of people expecting to get "grandfathered" I think)

.223 ammo selling like crazy.

And someone bought more powder and bullets big-grin

 

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
