A lot.
Past shortages, powder like Varget and Benchmark were hard to find. Primers were damn near impossible to find, and if you did they were marked up.
Bullets were still out there, but the selection sucked.
As far as gun parts, everything was gone, but when things settled the parts that were hardest to come by were BCGs (bolt and carrier groups) and stripped lowers.
Manufacturers upgraded their capacity when they found out how great the demand was/is.
