Local gun auction sold quite a few AR 15s for around $300 each. I don't know what the cost to manufacture one is but it must be close to that I would guess, can't really go wrong. If you've been wanting to get a few start looking now, I can't see them getting cheaper.

I grabbed three, should be around a $1,000 with auction fees, maybe a touch more.

Everyone should be stocking up. Last time Trump was in thay called it the Trump slump . Guns and ammo priced got cheap becuse they were not selling. Everyone had panic bought a lot and were not worried when Trump was in.

I bought 2 Remington 870 express for $250 each with $50 rebaits on top of that during that time. Wish I had bought 2 more.

Edit to add buying ars when they are cheap an holding them tell the next panic can be very profitable. I have paid for one of my suppressors with proffit from selling an AR made 100% mark up on that one. High end guns i never made as much profit only about 20% on those.

I never bought them with i tent to sell them. But they sat unused and I saw what I could make and took advantage of it and bought things I would use.
. Its always nice to have extras just in case. Thanks for the reminder to look

Ive been looking at getting an upper for my AR that would be legal in Ohio for deer hunting and most of the low end ones are 2-400. cheapest complete lowers are just north of 160. If you want to do it cheaper piece by piece.

I have a glfa 450 bushmaster upper I bought used for $250, put a lower together for it for $110. With sales tax and all that I'm still only $400 into it.

Just buy PSA.

You can buy an AR for $350 and just under new and get it in the caliber and side, back or bolt now at BCA. You can have a SS fluted one for under $360. You can build one cheaper if you watch for parts on sale and don't start up grading stuff.

Bushmaster Optics Ready .223/5.56 were the Black Friday deal a few years ago at Bass Pro for $300.

What's something like that worth now?

$300 is nothing,everyone should own one.

Everyone in Illinois would like to if we didn't have non-constitutional politics here.

That's the politest way to say it.

Or two.

They should also own a quality one.

Or two! I have a armalite rifle as my quality gun. These cheap ones fill a different niche.

For sure.

I got a couple cheap ones. The kids shoot them, I don't lol.

I should note, the three I bought are two Windham weaponry ww15s and a smith and Wesson mp15

Not top tier guns but it comes to $1,061 for the three. I'll function test them, clean them and put them away for a bit.
