WHATS UP WITH ALL THE CHEAP AR'S

[42769vette]

I have talked to sales people at Rock River Arms, Stag Arms and DPMS and all three are telling me that the popular rifles are out as far as eight months due to shortage of parts, especially barrels. I don't believe it is a volume problem as much as s supply shortage. Some people have stripped lowers and LPK's available with less than a month wait but even that changes by the month.

i guess i assumed that since prices were falling so fast the supply problem was cought up or close to. i know in febuary/march you couldn't find enough parts (especially uppers) in the classifieds here to build a ar and now you can build quite a few with the parts listed. but to be honest i dont pay alot of attention to ar parts anymore so i could be wrong

they were all the rage on ARF.com- those guys were jer...er, going on about them.

Quick, you gotta rush out and buy! Dons Guns AR's are $1,500 marked down from $3,000!

Bud's has Armalites, Bushmasters, Colts, and Olympics in stock. All for less than $900 on some models (except the Colts). Impacts has DPMSs and a few RRAs in stock. I didn't even check my other usual places.

I was at Whittaker guns in KY today and they had alot of AR's under $1000 with quality parts and manufacturers.

I was in Class III sales in New Carlisle last week. He had ar's with 5.7x28 uppers on them for $1,000. That seemed like a decent price.

 

[agentl074]

How about the AR-10's?

 

[MyGlockRocks19]

What they said...and I hope it stays that way for a while, at least until I can save some cash up and take advantage of the lower prices!

I must be doing something wrong

I have had one of the most popular RRA styles on sale for $850 the past two weeks and zero response yet I am reading about AR's on sale as in the above posts for similar pricing. I have to be doing something wrong.

Now if you would just pull down the price on SIG 556 then I will be hunky dory!

Yeah, what is up with the Sig's...man you can't pick one up for less than $1800 and that's a deal.

 

[MoparMan]

Buds has them at $1300 on up
Sig Sauer 556 30 + 1 223 Rem./16" Barrel/Picatinny Rail/Flip Up for Sale at Buds Gun Shop $1,334.00

14" LMT in the classifieds, but I don't know that its cheap.

Is the AR 15 for $599 being advertised at Bradis, the Olympic Arms Plinker Plus? That price is a couple of hundred less than the MSRP if it is. From what I have read, it is a pretty good little firearm. I still have not heard which is the better of the Plinker Plus or the Sportical. I can not find my way back to the thread on which I first asked that same question.

All we need is another Gun Law infringement or BO to start rattling his sword on Gun Control.

That's a pretty good deal I think

Don't the RRA's come with 2-stage triggers as well?

 

[Michiana]

Anyone hear about the Sig 522?

Yeah, what is up with the Sig's...man you can't pick one up for less than $1800 and that's a deal.

I saw the Sig 522's in January down at the SHOT SHOW and I don't believe they are out yet. Anyone hear different?

Some do, some don't.

I have an Olympic Arms AR and I think it is great for the money. I don't know how it would compare to the DPMS though.
