With Bass Pro buying Sportsman's, I don't see them getting anything anytime soon.
Thoughts on when the heck components will be back?

After the last election played out, I'm afraid that one can't even be changed easily.

I honestly believe the world that we knew might never be the same again
I believe you are correct in this statement it is ever changing and most times not for the better seems to be the way its happening

Exact opposite. They would bring on production lines about when this thing ends. They would lose their ***.

So what is the answer for the hoarders and flippers? You make it sound like they shouldn't be allowed to do their thing.

Since most of them aren't licensed to ship ammo/primers/powder, then you're correct, they shouldn't be allowed to "do their thing".

What you are describing is people who break shipping laws, which is very different than boarders and scalpers.
BTW, you don't have to be licensed to ship ammo.

It's pretty simple. If you don't want to pay the high prices that resulted from the confluence of the pandemic and panic stricken gun owners- don't buy from people or companies fueling the commodity bubble.
You can whine, complain or stomp feet but it won't change a thing. I'm just going to keep checking normal supply chains, bide my time and not support the commodity bubble crowd.

Some of the problems causing the problem.
1. Remington is no longer producing ammo so that takes millions of rounds off the shelves.
2. There are a whole lot more new gun owners now than just a few years ago so more ammo was bought by them.
3. Because people are scared, they/us, bought up more ammo/components than most will ever use in a life time.
4. From what I have seen the factories are running 24/7 and have increased output. But here is the problem. COVID 19 In the factory if one person test positive they have to quarantine EVERYBODY this person has come in contact with for 14 days. That slows or shuts down production. You can't just go out on the street and bring in Joe and have him fill in for any of these trained workers.
5. Then there is the problem of the ammo/component companies getting the products they need due to the same problems COVID 19 caused them with having to slow or shut down work. It is the snow ball effect.
6. Even when things start to settle down it will take a long time because as soon as something shows up on the shelf because people are scared they will purchase IT ALL in stead of just some of it and leave the next guy without any.
I don't see things returning to the "old days" for a loooooog time if ever.

Vista has brought Remington's ammunition production line back on line- 02/21/21 https://www.forbes.com/sites/aarons...ngs-remington-factory-online/?sh=641c6b4e7f87
The only way things would never return to normal is if there is a ban on one or more of the reloading components required. And even that would more than likely be temporary until a change in policy is enacted.
Panicked thinking results in panic buying, and gunowners are about the worst of the lot. Like Walt Kelly illustrated- "we have met the enemy and he is us"

I just left my local sportsmans warehouse, they had h4350 and a few other powders. The guy behind the counter said they had primers when they opened and were gone instantly. Hopefully things will start getting better.

And I bet over half of those primers are already listed on Gunbroker for 10x what they were purchased for...and being shipped illegally.
