Bottom dropped out of AR (gun) market

[theweakerbrother]

Columbus Pawn had a S&W Lower for 125 bucks.

Does anyone know if PSS or Bradis would take NIB stripped lowers on trade if I were to want to trade a couple in when I buy an AR?

Bradis would, but I don't know how much we'd allow for them since we currently have a bunch in stock.

Probably better off to just throw 'em up for sale in the Classifieds.

Prices are definately dropping. At the last Indy 1500, I saw an AR I purchased 3 months ago for $200 cheaper.

I priced a M&P 15 MOE at Plainfield SS for $1119 in stock.
That dark earth furniture is purdy.....
They'll be coming down more in the near future. You can see the frenzy backing off with the avilability of ammo.

Ended up with a XD9 3" with Trijicon for a fair price.

This M&P15 MOE?

Picked it up at PSS on Saturday. Bob was running a 5% off "assault rifles" sale and this set up is exactly what I wanted.

I've noticed availability certainly coming around. I had really priced ARs that much during the "frenzy" but they seem to be dropping in prices. Bob had a decent selection - quite a few DPMS, 2 Sig 556s and even a few of the "Colt" .22LR ARs, a couple M&P15, a Stag Arms, and a Daly Defense (that my brother bought).

PSS also had a big pile of .223 in 1000rd cases in the shop.. I'm still kicking myself for not picking up any ammo down there....

We were going to go to Bradis to check out the AR selection but after spending all our cash at PSS we decided not too...

what a deal! if they keep getting cheaper i might have to get another one!

 

[theweakerbrother]

I'm not sure that the S&W M&P is going to come down much in price. They were that price before the craze for comparable models.

There is a small window here to buy new. Who knows how long that window will remain open?

Glad to see things are moderating some.

I'm hoping to pick up an AR here soon. I was thinking of getting a stripped lower and building it myself but with these low(er) prices I may just get a complete gun.

That's the one. If I had $1200 in my pocket you would have been SOL!

Ouch Vlad. Can someone fix that name for you or is it too late?

If you have average mech skills and patience, I'd suggest building one. That way, you build it the way you want and know it inside out.

That said, my opinion and 5 bucks will get you a coffee at Starbuts!

I've got the word out to fix it, just waiting.

I am also thinking a build is the way to go. Pick up the lower now and spread the rest over time, not taking the big $ hit at once on a complete rifle.

While I think the supply will go up, but all it'll take is another AWB bill getting some lip service to raise the fear factor again. I should have invested in ARs instead of stock in the past few years!
