price of ar's

[seedubs1]

Waiting for a Colt or BCM OEM model to be seen for $600ish. I'd like to snag one, SBR it, and have ADCO cut/port the barrel to 11.5". Could be done and out the door for under $1k with the stamp.

Prices are falling, we will never see a big discount on "top shelf" rifles the margin is just not there on firearms. I no doubt think we will see >$500 AR's in the next four years however. Now if definitely the time to buy AR stuff if you want it the market is over-saturated and prices are low, just picked up a LWRC rifle myself (always wanted one but could not justify custom 1911 prices for an AR) for $1430. Now the old Rugers piston guns still run fine but with the LWRC in the safe I doubt they will see much use ever again.

Is the lwrc piston? I just ordered (yesterday) a lwrc ic a5 di for $1350. Good stuff.

I got the DI version as I personally do not need the extra weight of the Piston system as I am not a super high volume shooter. Mine is the "Tungsten Grey" color love the rifle.

Gotta pay for the stuff I already bought, but I plan on stocking up on lowers. It's like money in the bank. Except it's cool.

I disagree on higher end rifles seen price drop, I pick up a LWRC (piston) fde like new with extra spare parts for $1300.00.

The rush to fill an anticipated void in hopes of ridiculous profits has back fired and ruined the resale value of my really nice AR's.

Hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained. I'm in the same boat though I built up a couple that are what I would call mid-tier rifles. Some people buy stocks, some collect "things". I think firearms are a good investment. If you keep it long enough, you will most likely make money. I look at them as a retirement account more so than a day trade.

Up until recently, I always made money on selling firearms. And the only reason I'm not making money on them now is because I sell them too soon!

I just can't make up my mind what I want! lol.

Supply and Demand....We want them and they are priced accordingly. The market will soften across the board and prices will stabilize until the next elections. Don't think a Trump presidency is the end of the second amendment battle. The left's goal of "Californizing" the country is still very much in play.

Hold on to your AR's; high cap mags and non-serialized ammo - your grandkids will thank you!

An AR doesn't eat much, sits quietly in the safe without rusting (assuming you bought an AR with a bit of quality), and is just as capable of performing 5 years from today as it does right now. No vet bills.

Think of them as pets.

IDK about you.....but my AR is damn hungry. Cost a lot to feed that damn thing.
