– Hey guys, James again for TFB TV, and this episode I'mcalling Gun Speculating.

Now what is gun speculating? A lot of you may remember a few years ago when the current administration,an anti-gun administration, was elected into office.

There was a general panic.

There were people that were worried about the resurrection ofthe Assault Weapons Ban from 1994 to 2004, youguys may remember that.

So, understandably sincethat's happened before, a lot of people are worriedit's going to happen again.

So, the current administration, when the current administrationcame into office, the first time and the second time, there was a general panic.

And what do I mean by panic? I mean gun guys were buying things that would previously have been illegal under the '94 to 2004 Assault Weapons Ban.

So what were these guysrushing out and buying? ARs, Aks, magazines for ARs and AKs.

10-plus round magazines for their favorite and more popular handguns.

Why? Because those were thingsthat were previously illegal under the '94 to 2004 Assault Weapons Ban.

And a lot of people saw thatban potentially coming back down the pipe again.

So what's the purpose of today's video? Today's video is to educateyou guys on the best purchases you could make in advance of a potentially anti-gun administration being elected into office.

Which is a very real concerna lot of us have right now with the presidential election coming up.

So I'm gonna try to makesure that you guys all have your ass in a seatwhen the music stops.

I'm going to separate the Joe Kennedys from the guys loadin up into the wagon, and headin out California wayto find a job pickin fruit.

Today, gun speculating.

Now, as usual, this is guns, not politics.

The focus is going to be on the guns in the context of the political climate.

I'm not making any political commentary.

Just telling you guys ifyou wanna get some stuff that you might have ahard time getting later if there is an Assault Weapons ban or other executive actionsthat could limit your ability to own these things.

That's what I'm trying towalk you through today.

So what things should you getthat might be banned later? I think everyone is goingto universally agree that the answer is in the AR15.

So, there are certainthings that you wanna buy for the AR15.

There are certain things that you don't need to buy for the AR15.

Let's discuss those right now.

So let's talk about magazines.

USGI 30-round magazines,those are the way to go.

Right now you can get them for around $7, and I remember around four years ago, during the great panic, people were selling them for $50.

So you are squaring your investment.

You're buying them for seven,you're selling them for 50.

Or, if you wait until afterthe election to buy them, you could be paying seven times as much.

So right now, USGImagazines are a good bet.

And what do I mean buy USGI magazines? Just Google it.

You've got companieslike D&H, OK Industries, they are government contractormagazine manufacturers.

Generally, I think it's a safe bet to stay away from non-milspec, non-USGI manufacturers like ProMag or C Products.

Just stay with thestandard USGI magazines.

Other good magazines to consider buying.

For around 9 or $10, PMAGs, Magpul PMAGs, Hexmags, Lancer mags, thewell-known, well-made magazines.

It's a good idea.

Buy a case of them, guys.

Buy 20, buy 50, buywhatever, I swear to God you're gonna make your money back.

So don't be afraid to doubledown on AR15 magazines.

Now, another maybe riskierinvestment might be drums, like the new Magpul 60-round drums.

Or the SureFire, the60-round and 100-round or whatever the hell they are, SureFire, like the quad-stack magazines.

I could see those potentiallybeing astronomical in terms of value if thereis an anti-gun administration elected in, if there's anotherpanic, if there's a ban.

I could see those beingworth a ton of money.

And I'm gonna take a quick diversion here, and use this opportunityto discuss niche magazines, like the SIG MPX magazinesthat are $60 right now.

MP5 magazines, CZ Scorpion magazines.

Those might not be bad purchases because there are so few of them.

There are so many AR15 andAK magazines available today that even if there was a ban, you could see that there's still going to be some availability out there.

Now if you get MPXmagazines, MP5 magazines, CZ magazines for the Scorpion, you could see there being a genuine panic around those magazines notbeing available anymore because there's not nearly as many of those magazines as thereare AR and AK magazines.

So, that's a little bit riskier, a little bit more of an investment.

AK magazines are also good to buy.

Any military surplus magazines, you can get them for 10, 20, $30, depending on how rare they are.

Now another thing that Ithink is very important to pick up before a potentialadministration change is the AR15 lower.

I think this might themost important thing that you could get prior toany administration change.

Now, a quick note before Istart talking about AR lowers.

For purposes of this video, I'm assuming that anything you buy todaywould be grandfathered in for any ban tomorrow.

So, why does that make the AR15 lower, just the lower, so important? Well, that's the registered component.

So if there is a ban, andeverything prior to the ban is grandfathered in,then you are good to go if you have the lower.

You would be able to putdifferent uppers on there, stocks, whatever stocks you want.

Use your 30-round magazinesthat you presumably bought before the ban.

Essentially, if you buy a lower,it safeguards your ability to own an AR two or threeyears from now, or post-ban, that you would be able to own today.

Because this component'sgonna be grandfathered in, and that's where the legalfocus is going to be, is on the lower.

Did you buy the lower before the ban.

So, I would suggest ifyou only had $50 to spend, buy a lower.

If you have four or $500 to spend, I'm not sure if you shouldjust buy 10 stripped lowers, or buy one complete AR.

Now I've certainly heardanecdotes immediately post-panic of people selling five,$600 AR15s for 2500, $3000.

I think we all remember thatyou saw it on Gun Broker, you've seen it in your local classifieds.

Because the people thatare looking to buy them after the fact, the peoplewho weren't prepared, they just want to gettheir hands on an AR, they don't care if it's MilSpec.

They don't care if it's Noveske.

They just want the AR15, or the AK47.

So, maybe that's a good investment, too, would be low-end AR15.

Now let me stop real quick and say that I don't condonefunctionally scalping people, gouging, price gouging after a ban.

The purpose of this video, it's protective for you guys, to make sure you get the things that could possibly be banned, or that are going to bedifficult to get after a ban.

There are a couple ofdealers who I just don't buy because of their price-gouging practices.

I'm not gonna name names, but you guys know who I'm talking about.

Especially one really big one out there who was a little dirty,if you know what I mean, after the last election.

But what about the other parts? What about the Buttstocks,what about the furniture, what about the upper,the barrel, the ammo? What about that stuff? Now if you guys rememberthe last time this happened, there was a run on lowerparts kits, stocks, uppers.

Like really the LPKs, lower parts kits, uppers and the ammo, werereally, really hard to get.

I am predicting that thatwould be a short-term, even if there were a ban, that would only be a short-term panic because people might eventually figure out that barrels aren't gonna be banned.

Uppers aren't going to be banned.

It's the serial lowers.

That's what's gonna get you in trouble, is if you don't have a serial lower, you're not going to beable to outfit your AR the way you might like.

It might have to comply with a ban.

Now, a tricky subject is ammunition.

And a lot of you mayremember the last time that an anti-gun administrationwas elected into office, there was a run on 5.

56 ammo, 9mm,.

45,.

40, 7.

62×39, basically anythingaffiliated with a defense or a military cartridge,there was a run on it.

I don't think it's the safest bet.

The way I would think likemaybe buying an AR lower for $40 would be.

I mean an AR lower for$40, like the Andersons, you're not gonna lose money.

And let me talk real quickabout branding of the lowers.

A lot of really popular ones out right now that are less expensive, youcan get for like around $40, everybody's seen the Anderson lowers.

There are a lot ofsmaller make manufacturers that are coming out with lowers, and they're pumping themout for 40, $45 each.

You've also got the polymer lowers.

Now, as a rule, I would sayspend the extra 10 bucks, and just get the aluminum lower instead of the polymer lower.

They're going to be more desirable in the second-hand market.

They're going to be more durable.

And if you ultimatelydecide to build an AR, you're gonna want thealuminum lower, not polymer.

As far as brands go,there's an old saying, mind your ABCs.

If you get an Armalite, Busshmaster, Colt, they're going to command a premium over some of the lesserknown, but cheaper, AR lowers.

Now, they probably allcame from the same place, let's be honest here.

But that said, people arejust gonna pay more money for Armalite, Bushmaster,Colt, Rock River, Noveske.

Now, another good and inexpensive investment,Glock magazines.

If you're going to spendmoney on Pistol magazines, beyond a shadow of a doubt,the Glock is the way to go.

It's used in many platforms,the Kel-Tec, the AR, the Glocks, of course.

And, Glocks are popular, so, a really big one to buy, anything that exceeds 17 rounds.

I mean of course the magazines that are in excess of 10 rounds, those are going to be popular.

People are going to be after those.

They're gonna pay a premium for those.

They're gonna be hard to get.

But the ones that are really hard to get are gonna be like the 20+round magazines made by Magpul.

They're going to be the 33-round magazines made by Glock.

Those are really gonna be hard to find.

So a couple do-not buys.

Do-not buys.

Do not buy handguns.

Do not buy handguns.

There's no banned features on handguns that are going to be bannedwith another Assault Weapons Ban as there would be with a rifle.

You're gonna be ableto buy a SIG 226 today.

You're gonna be able to buya SIG 226 10 years from now, so I wouldn't buy pistols in anticipation of a ban or a panic.

Another do-not buy, I would say, would be the more obscure battle rifles, assault rifles, combat rifles.

Things like the Tavor.

Things like the X95.

Maybe the Steyr AUG.

The ACR, the XCR.

SIGs, I think the MCX.

I would generally stay away from those.

It isn't that you're not going to be able to net a profit, or that they're notgoing to be hard to find after a potential ban.

I just don't see thoseas being as desirable or as commanding as higha price inflation-wise as AR, AK stuff, even FALs, M1s, so on.

So, to re-hash everything.

If you had $1000 to spendbefore a potential ban or panic, what would you buy? Well, if you were looking toturn around and re-sell it, it might not be a badidea to just spend $1000 on a crate of magazines.

Or to maybe buy two lower-endM4s, M16s, ARs, or AKs.

Now if you want to get really dangerous, and you don't mind have 25 guns hit you on one background check, one FFL transfer, you could buy 25 stripped lowers.

Because you're definitelygoing to get your money back, plus some, if you'rebuying stripped lowers for 40 or $50 a pop.

If I had $500 to spend,what would I do with it? I'd probably buy, if Ididn't own an AR already, I would buy two stripped lowers,and then enough components to finish one of them out.

You can do that now for $500.

So why do I say two strippedlowers and parts to finish one? Well, you could build the one lower.

And you could elect tosell it if there's a panic and it's worth a ton of money.

And you would still have a AR lower that you could build on later.

You wouldn't be left out in the cold because you just sold your only AR.

If I only had $100 tospend, what would I buy? I'd buy one lower that I coulddo with what I pleased later.

And then I would spend the other $60 on magazines, magazines,magazines, magazines.

Buy eight USGI magazines.

Buy six or seven Magpul PMAGs.

If I had $50 to spend, what would I buy? A stripped lower and a magazine.

If I had $10 to spend, what would I buy? I'd buy a Magpul PMAG, I'dkeep it in the wrapper, and I'd turn around and flipit for 50, 60 bucks later.

If you had just $1, $1 tospend pre-panic, pre-ban, what would you buy you cheap bastard? Well, it's a bit of a problemto get something for $1, but let me help you out.

One, go to a gas station,and steal a squeegee.

Two, go back to the interstateoverpass that you live under, and when you're under there,there are gonna be cars that are gonna stop.

You squeegee off their windshield.

Don't ask them if they want it or not.

Just go and do it.

If you ask them, they're going to say no.

If you do it, they'regoing to feel compelled to throw you a little change.

And now you've got $2,what do you do with $2? G3 magazines.

HK G3 PTR91, HK 91 magazines, whatever you want to call them, you can find those now for about $2 each.

Nobody has a PTR 91, a G3, and HK 91, well, people do, but they're not many.

There are certainly not as many owners as there are magazines.

But, people just get freaked out by a potential high-capacity magazine ban, and I was watching peopleactually sell these on eBay.

Which, eBay doesn't do.

But they couldn't takethem down fast enough.

People were selling G3HK 91 magazines on eBay that they paid $2 for, and they were going, Buy ItNow, 10 bucks right away.

I watched this over and over and over the last time there wasa ban, it was incredible.

So you can make five timesyour money out of two bucks.

Thanks for watching.

Like I said, don't be assholes.

Don't gouge people.

Don't make it yourbusiness to gouge people.

I'm just here to tell you today what's going to be hardto get after the fact.

And things that you mightwant to think about.

And you might want to thinkabout getting for yourself before it becomes really hard to get.

Anyways, thanks again for watching, guys.

I hope you found thisinformative, I hope you liked it.

And I will see you next week.
