Not in CA.
I sold my 16s for $3800. 17s are going for around 5k. Tempted to sell that one too, I can always buy another one when I move out of CA in a couple years. After Jan 1st 2017 there will be no more SCARs available in CA for plebeians. |

There is still a crazy run on SCAR 17s FDE, i have been watching the market closely for the pass couple of weeks. As for the SCAR 16s i don't know.
Don't believe me, try getting a SCAR 17s FDE right now and see how much you're going to pay. |

A month ago was pre 41f , so anyone who wanted to SBR a SCAR was buying at 3k for a 16. Ask me how I know
. I say buy it while you can. The next panic may be epic.

I was trying to get a new ps90 for weeks and ended up getting one from the ee. My ffl said it would be maybe 2 months or less till he could get me one. No distributors had any. A few popped up on the ee but they went fast because they were a decent price. |

Bought another 17 this week for $3100 after negotiating. Not too much of a mark-up especially with 7 mags and a extended rail NIB
 . Some of these sellers are going full retard though. November prices should be interesting.

The run has always been high, even prior to current events. The hard part is having money in hand ready to buy one. There was another thread on this where someone was saying that more SCARs would flood the market and prices would come down. If you think that is the case, stop kidding yourself. The Battlefield Vegas video on YT praising the SCARs durability will also cause a demand on obtaining a SCAR.
I worked a OT gig involving a certain presidential candidate. I used the OT money to buy a SCAR 16s in FDE prior to Orlando four days prior for 2400. Naming it after that bitch. Paying a higher price now is securing your spot prior to November when prices will no doubt spike even higher. The higher price which is probably just a few hundred dollars more will be nothing when HRC is likely elected. I already own a SCAR 17s in FDE, thankfully. WIth the current recall on SCAR 17s. One has to wonder where all the 400+ SCAR17s are sitting that were recalled. |

Most of those recalled were still sitting at the distributor, so I believe that was a new shipment that was about to hit stores. 400 of them seems like a lot but with demand this high, I doubt they would have lasted long. I picked up my last scar yesterday, a 17. Paid 2950 out the door. I'm done buying scars, since I have two fde 16s and two 17s, one black and one fde. I'm set luckily. I do hope you guys can find the ones you're after. Good luck on the hunt guys! |

Yeah, I plan to buy a few for my "unregistered" (pre 2014) AR's to avoid having to register as an Assault Rifle Offender in 2016 CA. In November I'll be selling everything else I bought after 2014, including my SCAR, since I don't plan on re-registering anything with the State.

I would watch this and other EEs like a hawk. You should be able to find a new or slightly used one for about what they paid for it. Maybe a few hundred bucks over. I wouldn't wait if i was in your shoes. Hillary will most likely win. Good luck finding a deal then. You must not want one that bad if you are willing to risk trump getting elected. Be safe and get one now. I seen this coming. Ordered a backup 17s in the spring time.
