I'm well aware the timing right now sucks. I can purchase a 16s through FN's IOP program for a preset rate. I'm just curious if brand new SCAR 16s will drop below $2400. I'm not particularly interested in saving $50-100 bucks waiting 6 months.

When times were good and SCARs were plentiful, they ran about $2300. Then availability started to get dodgy and prices crept upwards. Coupled with FN's price increases on them, that $2400 figure probably isn't bad.
Not sure what the new floor on them will be, there's a lot of pent-up demand for them but also a lot of competition in the 5.56 wunderwaffe space now. It's going to be a tough year for gun makers without the gun salesman of the year on the job, though this is a very niche market with a more specific set of buyers that won't be impacted the same way as the low-budget AR realm.
I would guess $2500-$2700 street if FN starts shipping them in quantity again. I've been hoping for a price drop on them but obviously FN has had success with the limited quantity, high price model.
