That’s the worst part about being an AK platform fanatic like me, you never know when the hammer will come down just like it already has several time (2014 with the Russian AK ban, 2022 with the Russian Ammo ban). Sometimes I see some AR guys on the internet laughing and hoping they ban imports, I don’t understand it? They are so small minded they don’t understand that import bans affect the market way more than just import rifles etc. An import ban means less available firearms on the market, which amplifies shortages of guns, ammo, and accessories in general. I could go on but anyone who is reading this who has a brain will understand. Remember, 2 is 1 and 1 is none. Stack mags, ammo, and spare parts. Those of us who have been around long enough know it’s not a matter of if there will be panic buying, it’s when.I have an optimistic outlook for the upcoming election but want to be ahead of the panic buying just in case. I am evaluating my magazine situation & trying to make sure I have at least a 10:1 ratio for everything that uses mags. Will likely get a little more ammo.
As an FYI, presidents can immediately stop the importation of firearms with an order so it might be a good time to get that new Tikka hunting rifle you have been thinking about.
A couple stripped lowers and LPKs might be a good investment also.
