With the latest gun fiasco, will AR sales go crazy again, 30 round mags selling out?

Prices are already going up, every time the ban word is used they seem to fly off the shelves. Even PSA is raising their prices already so I imagine they are getting low on parts, their receiver stock is mostly sold out. I want to order another .308 receiver from them, and pick up 2 more multi-cal lowers locally when my permit to purchase comes back.

Already has by the looks of things. The left wing nuts are not going to stop this " ban scare " stuff until every man, woman and child has a AR15 or AK47 or both. Its the definition of crazy. To do the same thing over and over and expect a different outcome each and every time. Whackadoodles, the whole lot of them.

PSA was out of lower build kits the other day , I ordered a week ago and mine has not shipped yet so I suspect they are very busy

picked up another lower the week before , now I am thinking 2 more just to have them in my stash

WRONG !!! Most of the sales are to people that already own one. Those of us that have no use for them don't want one at any price........
Me personally if you gave me one I would sale it. For the way and what I hunt I have no use for one.
BUT to each his own , it is America

Any one that hasn't shot one should. Its the first semi auto that shoots nice enough to not recoil me off the sight picture. I can put 3 rounds quickly into a coffee can at 100 yards nicely. You cant do that with my .270 BAR, and it's very accurate.

I like the collapsible stock, 1 1/2x 6x scope and overall lightness of the gun. It's easy to wield from within my vehicle when I'm just driving around back roads.

I don't have one, maybe I should get one.

Some folks don't want us to have them. That's a great reason right there, lol.

I'de put together a mudmotor rig first, lol.

If you had an open mind, took it to the range and give it a run, then took it calling coyotes I believe you would probably keep it. I was a bolt action , nice wood man, but after my boys built me an AR, Other than Elk hunting that is the gun that goes hunting and can almost always be found in the truck. And since I've got about 10 more, Still get a bolt now and then, but keep finding new ways to us the AR's.

PSA was out of build kits and lower parts kits the other day seen a few that they listed after that but they don't last long. Picked up 2 stripped lowers for $39ea then they went to $49 a short time later. Would think after the last shortage issues the dealers might be better prepared this go a round.

Still lots of the cheap mags out there that the dealers want to dump incase the pendulum swings the wrong way.

My AR is my go to yote gun just invest in a good upper the rest is just details!

The ones that have stocks in the company that make them wants more money so it looks that way now since some are have a hard time to deal with the lack of sales after Trump got in. For all that is going on it dose not take much for something to go up in price. Let see how the ammo will go also.

I used to feel that all they were good for was burning up ammo. Then PA legalized them for varmints and small game last year. Local gun shop had a used one in mint condition also lefthanded on the rack for about 1/2 price! Best thing since sliced bread for yote hunting. I love it. Can't wait till the whistle pigs start coming out!!!!!

I had one. I like my M1A-1 a lot better.

Looked at a lower for an AR-10 yesterday at my local gun shop...

He's a local one man outfit so I know I can expect to pay a little more. And I'm not going to share his listed price...

But out of curiosity what would an average market price be for a CMMG AR-10 lower with mounted stock?

Mike

I can get a new AR here at our local shop for $399

From my experience a lot of dealers were selling at either a loss, breaking even or at a very thin profit margin to keep the cash flow going when stuff was not moving.

Most prices now reflect a slight profit but a lot of that will be lost in listing and selling fees we are not back at the crazy days yet like last time.

PSA has the PA 10 built lowers like that for under $200 just add a upper, get them both on sale or blem parts and the build would be cheap!

So before they came out with the AR you were killing yotes with sliced bread?
Were you using it as bait? Making toast and throwing it like Ninja throwing stars?
Just messin' with you, man.
Before I had an AR in my hands and actually handled it and shot it, I felt the same way you did.
Holy crap every aspect of them is awesome!

Do you have any data to back up that claim or is it just your opinion?

I've never owned one. I qualified with one in the Army and have shot them quite often when friends bring them to the range. Every time I'm faced with the prospect of not being permitted to own one, I want to buy one.

I think this time I'll "pull the trigger", figuratively and literally.

Can any of you experienced owners point a guy towards a reasonbly-priced, decent-quality AR to be used for hunting, plinking and home defense?
