[QUOTE="LRHWAL, post: 264477, member: 5418"] Not being American (I live in South Africa) I suspect we underestimated the impact of the political change. Despite what I'd read about the planned changes (infringements), I'd forgotten about components and focussed more on the impact on firearms and high cap mags etc. We'd been led to believe that the military demand and commodity prices were fuelling prices; maybe these factors were just replaced by something else. It always seems strange that taxing certain sports succeeds and is unchallenged (not that this is a plan unique to the US - we have "ad valorem" tax - like a once off tax on all firearm imports). Imagine taxing golf clubs and golf balls 500%!? Anyhow, wrong forum for that rant.... I know here local manufacturers price basically on a par with the imported product - not because it's necessary, but because they can. But then profit is what drives business. I suppose time will tell. Thanks for the replies. [/QUOTE]
