Wow here is a game changer for AR15's!

[remauto1187]

Got an email from classic firearms the other day. Looks like they are carrying this new manufacturer of AR15's. Where can you get a AR15 with mags and hard case for $500-$549.99?

AR-15 Rifle .223 / 5.56 Nato Caliber Semi Auto Flat Top Rifle W / M4 Barrel, 30 Round Mag and Hard Case by Bear Creek Arsenal... Rear Sight / Optic Ready A3 flat top

AR-15 Rifle .223 / 5.56 Nato Caliber Semi Auto Target Ready Rifle W / M4 Barrel, 2 - 30 Round Mags and Hard Case by Bear Creek Arsenal... Also Includes Mounted Detachable A3 Carry Handle W/ A2 Sights A3 flat top with a2 carry handle and a2 front sight

Huh. That's about on par with some online sales of M&P Sport AR-15s, but these have a dust cover and forward assist. If they are reasonable quality, its tough to argue with the price point.

Got the ad in an email. Made me think twice about it.

Ya........sure........I'd be a bit leery of an ad that gives you the name of who makes the gun case but not the rifle.......

I think Bear Creek Arsenal is the maker...

Their web page is sparse (understatement) but lists the same AR for $650.

Who Is Bear Creek Arsenal

MMC AR15's were not thought too highly of........so they changed the name. Did the quality improve? I'd stick with a known name brand. Too many bubba's putting together AR15's now days.

How is another entry level direct impingement AR a game changer?

The price point is what OP is trying to get at.

I get that, but instead of the game being who can make the best, or a quality, AR; it's just now well who can make it the cheapest?

I hate saying it, but a complete rifle or one of these

AX556 Lower Receiver | AXTS Weapons Systems

Or one of these

I'd rather have the stripped lower to be honest. But that's just me.

.......Companys like them......LUV the hell out'a that mentality.......

ain'a AR in'a WORLD......worth more'n 8-900 bux......don' give a ratz whos name's on it......

 

[loony1]

I would spend the extra $ and buy a proven name.

That read (company propaganda) did not leave me with a good feeling after...

^^ +1 This.

I see it just bouncing around 5 or 6 different sites during the day. It seems like it's open season for anyone to make an AR. No thanks, i'd rather put forth the time and effort to build my own with quality parts or, buy a rifle from a proven mfg., even if it means a few extra dollars.

 

[SpaldingPM]

If they're selling it for $500 it oribbly cost the mfg to make it for $100 with crap workmanship, especially if they're a new company. Stick with a proven brand with some history.

My $700 DPMS AR is just as good as your $975 Colt 6920 I love that mentality.

Definitely true.

I wonder if these guys build the PTAC's?

 

[sig1473]

Dat rite dare is my AR......gut gud price on dit. Onlee Five-Fitty.


I think these guys are marketing it>

 

[lucky4034]

I'll stick with PSA for just a little bit more... but personally, I love to see competition bring market prices down. The AR bubble last year blew up demand and $500 AR's are the result! They are about the only thing in the firearms industry that have fallen below Pre-Sandy Hook prices. Everything else seems to be 10-30% more.

I went to buy a 10/22 a couple of days ago at Midwest Gun Exchange and there was a $279.00 price tag on the blued carbine version with a synthetic stock. That sucks...
