AR15 production is SOLD OUT!

[melensdad]

Well it looks like the RUSH is on to buy up guns before Obama takes office.

Charles Daly Defense, in 1 day, sold out its entire production of AR15s. It expects to sell out its FUTURE production today. I got that information directly from the president of KBI/Charles Daly, Michael Kassnar. I expect to hear similar reports from other gun producers. I know that Olympic Arms has been backlogged, so it is likely they will remain backlogged.

Thats right folks, if you don't have one already you probably will have a very difficult getting a new, quality AR anytime soon and you probably won't get it at a bargain price. There is probably a short window of opportunity to pick up some ARs, but don't expect it to last.

I think my dreams of building a 5.56 and a 6.5 Grendel will drop to two 5.56 rifles.

I hope I can find a Colt 6920LE before they double in pricing again.

Bought one new Bushmaster earlier in the year just speculating on price increases.

Well I'm going to be looking hard for a lower now.

I don't buy it. I am 100% sure that some manufacturers are going to be sold out for a while, but as soon as the initial panic is over, they'll be plentiful again.

I bought the 5.56 complete this summer but still hope to build up my lower into a 6.5 Grendel. The latter will not be outfitted with as many "scary looking" features so maybe these uppers won't skyrocket as badly on panic demand. At least that's my hope

That was one of my thoughts. The 5.56 is more common and supply/demand may drive it up so the 6.5 Grendel looks not too much more expensive.

Well I work at a local gun shop and I went to order a AR for a guy day before yesterday and ALL ar 15s no matter the maker, was on back order. I couldnt get DPMS, Bushmaster, Colt, Olympic, or Stag. There Were 0 available

Well I can find 5.56 for about 30 cents for the really cheap russian stuff, but its more common to find it for 40 to 50 cents a round for FMJ. FMJ is suitable for practice, training, or target shooting but not hunting.

I have been buying 6.5 Grendel for 50 cents a round for brass cased Wolf 120 grain soft point. It is suitable for practice, training, target shooting or hunting.

I don't see the 6.5 Grendel as being cost prohibitive compared to the 5.56. It is slightly more expensive for the cheap stuff, but not that much more. The best grade 6.5 Grendel sells for about $1 to $1.10 per round (those are the premium name brand bullets in Laupa brass). The best grade 223/5.56 is about the same price.

I agree for ammo, I was thinking more about upper prices. Although I guess the quality 6.5 barrels are not much more than the quality 5.56 barrels. There are just fewer low quality 6.5 barrels, because what is the point.
