Tequila Shooter Posted July 11, 2021 Posted July 11, 2021 Can the folks in Cali buy primers and powder from any store or do y’all have to go through an FFL for them?
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted July 11, 2021 Posted July 11, 2021 You can buy components in Ca. from local stores or internet. Just recieved a powder order from powder valley via ups yesterday.
bgavin Posted July 11, 2021 Posted July 11, 2021 In Sacramento (city) one has to use an FFL for gun parts (i.e. springs), and most likely (not certain) for powder or primers . Here in Sacramento County, no FFL is required for parts or components (yet). All ammo must go through an FFL, with background check fee ($1) and DROS form filled out. Some LGS will accept shipments from LAX Ammo, etc, etc for a small fee.
Possum Skinner, SASS#60697 Posted July 11, 2021 Posted July 11, 2021 Another factor effecting price hikes in the ongoing devaluation of the dollar. This was greatly accelerated by the COVID-19 boondoggle.
Toranado, SASS # 58447 Posted July 11, 2021 Posted July 11, 2021 These retailers are not gouging. As someone who for a living buys commodities, all raw materials have substantially increased in the past year. Metals are up, packing materials (boxes are up), corrugated boxes to ship are up, pallets are way up, trucking is way up, with labor shortages, manufacturing wages are up. Add all this up and this is the new normal pricing until raw materials until start coming down. Most of this all caused by labor shortages. Unfortunately this is the reality, not retailers gouging.
Phantom, SASS #54973 Posted July 11, 2021 Posted July 11, 2021 For reference: Current distributor listed price for Fed SMP is $47.50/1000 Y'all can do the math... Cheers! Phantom
