Current prices versus a year ago?

[Bigdee06]

Who has been keeping track?

Ammo isn't that hard to remember but what is the difference on guns?

For example a Colt 6920 or a WASR AK?

And parts also, Whats the difference on a complete lower?

Anybody?

Ar's have lost about 750 to 1000 in cost. 6920 used to sell for around 1100 to 1200 before Sandy Hook after around 2000 plus here.

A 6920 a year ago at Walmart was $1097, today it is still $1097. Some places a little less, some a little more.

I remeber seeing 6920's on Sturmgewehr Assault Rifle and NFA Forums - 24/7 Online Gunshow and Firearm Community for $950 shipped prior to sandy hook. They were the LE roll stamped ones, I wish I would have bought one then.

From what I've seen, guns and ammo are priced the same but ammo is harder to come by and now there is the BS box limit at a lot of places. PSA had blem lowers yesterday for $60. I haven't seen them that low since 2009. Their parts kits are also less expensive than a year ago. I think the market was flooded with the AR platform and most everybody bought one out of sheer panic. Now there is less of a market to sell to but still a market regardless.

The AK on the other hand... stupid prices still abound. Not uncommon to see a wasr10 on armslist for $800. I just got a Yugo m70 npap for just over $500 after shipping and transfer. Buying retail right now has become a better deal than private sales. Some people are trying to sell their firearms for the inflated prices they paid 6-8 months ago.

It seems that the higher end AR and AK models are priced about the same... but the lower end models have gone up about 25% or more. A DPMS could be had for about $580, and even $550 new, if you knew were to order... and now you see the same crap model for $699.99

 

[SpaldingPM]

Wasr 10's have gone up from $400-$500... to about $700-$800.

If ya want an AR for a damn good price, I'd wait until christmas time... By that time, the panic buyers from early 2013 will be flippin shizz to get their NIB AR sold to open up more credit on their maxed out cards, so they can buy lincoln logs for little johnny.

Whittaker guns had a stack of le 6920's weeks before sandy hook at $875.00 , at the height of the scare they could be bought at either side of $1000.00 + or -

I just saw an 6920 at Wal-Mart up here in Lafayette somewhere around that $1097 price. That's a steal in my book.

Low end AKs have gone down a good $100-$200 in the last 5 or 6 months. Still considerably higher than pre-panic. New WASRs can be had for less than $600.
