Lock Price Hikes
« on: March 18, 2018, 08:53:55 PM »
Just a heads up;

Was over on Track of the Wolf and noticed the L&R Flintlock Locks have taken a price hike to $170.00. I was lucky when I ordered mine not to many months ago when they were still $157.00... I'm not complaining at all as I would have paid the $170.00 price had it been that at the time, for one reason the Siler Flintlock Locks had jumped to $194.00 and they were at $170.00 prior to that. It is what it is and I'm glad we have a source for these Locks.  :shake

It seems everything with traditional M-L has gone up in price.  Has the cost of steel gone up?  Imports are definitely up there compared to just a few years ago.

I figured the rise in prices of domestic "parts and pieces" was due to inflation,... but I dunno.
