What's the availabilty fo afore mentioned play toys? I know it had gotten crazy after the election. Income tax is coming up and i am contemplating a new purchase.

http://www.ar15.com/forums/forum.html?b=7&f=21

i think prices are still a little high. Many people think that before long (assuming no meaningful mention of AWB from politicians) prices will drop back down. Many people went out and bought their first rifle and now dont know what to do with it and as christmas credit card bills start coming in, they may decide to sell.

Just a possibility though, if Obama and crew decide to go strait for guns, then it will stay crazy.

i dont see them making a bee-line towards the gun ban with the economy on most peoples front burner.


but then again, snakes are called that for a reason.

Do not buy retail (unless you can get a really good deal). There are places online that you can get a carbine, or you can always buy an upper and build your own lower, to save a bit of $$$.

It is very easy to assemble a lower and you only need a few tools (small brass hammer, small brass punch, needle nose pliers, and a $5 stock wrench)

OK, so prices may drop about 10-15% if the Obamunist does not target them right away. The demand is extreemly high right now.

My Bushmaster Patrolman's version was $1099. You may save a hundred or two by waiting (i don't have time to build and save). You also may wait, and the Obamunist and his cronies may go after them quick and end up without one.

Just trying to save what is the equivelent of one or two really nice meals and evenings out.









And you can go out on one of those nice evenings thinking......"I could have done without one or two of these and HAD ONE."

It'd make a V-8 commercial look soft to the head.

Old sarge: Where and when did you buy your's? I've seen those for $1250 lately at a couple different stores.

I wonder what will happen to the price if a ban does go into effect.

i don't know man. I wouldn't spend 2000 to get an AR, and I sure as hell wouldn't even think of selling one if I already had it.

They will seek a permaban if they try it. It would be a long time or never before a permaban got repealed.

That being said, the manufacturers would probably come up with some sort of equivalent without certain features like they did last time.

Milkman,

Academy.

If you saw earlier posts, this gun was originally $999 in November, but had increased into December.


Academy's in the Houston area (Victoria included) had pulled all "assault" weapons and ammo for a brief time. Because of a mess up on their part, they took back an A1 that had been boxed mistakenly, and called me when the M4A3 came in.

I did not press the issue of price, as the MGR worked his butt off making it right, and I'd rather have an ally than making a point at this time.

However, he did inform me that they would take a name and "hold" a rifle of choice if requested.


Get on a list if you want one.

Ammo is what really worries me as I think it should everyone.

everyone on the receiving end!!

I bought my Bushmaster M4A3 Patrolman's carbine for $917 from a dealer out in S. Dakota. That same weapon a month later was being sold by the same dealer for $1450.

That's a better return than the S&P gave me this year.


TAF

Academy had the Bushmaster M4A3 on their website for $999 in November, but I never could find one in a store. Now I see that gun on online trading sites going for $1500.

Anyone know of a seller who has lowers (stripped or complete) in stock right now?
DPMS says everything on their web site is "out of stock," but I just bought a stripped flattop upper that was "out of stock" and I had it in hand in ten days.
DPMS stripped lowers are around $180 right now, which sounds pretty high to me. I'm sure the price was a heck of a lot less this summer.

anvil arms, $140. free laser engraving.

essential arms has them for 105 and 110. they are out of louisiana and turnaround is about 10 days.

good lowers.

At the rate that moron is already spending our tax money even prior to taking office, I don't see the economy getting better for a LONG time...which means he might as well go straight for the guns. I'm glad I bought mine prior to all this mess.

checked their site today. The $140 price is with a 3-6 month wait, no engraving. For $170 (or 175?) you can perhaps get one without the wait. Engraving is now done for a fee of $20 or more, depending on what you want.

FYI.

wow.

three months ago it was 99 with free engraving. my how things have changed.

yep, "change you can believe in"

Are your lowers machined by Sun Devil?

We have used Sun Devil to do some of our machine work. The rifle in the picture you posted was machined by Sun Devil.

Those Essential Arms complete lowers are going for $350.00 on www.ar15.com...with a command arms stock....IMO command arms products are not the best quality. IMO
