Looks like demand has finally slowed to meet supply. That's going to force Serbu to lower their price on their 50A.

Just because a few of these are being sold close to or at normal dealer cost doesn't mean the competition is going to respond by lowering their price. I worked at one of the big distributors the first year Serbu was at SHOT pimping their semi. Dealer cost was 1500-2000 less than the 82 if I remember right. That gap had closed quite a bit by the time they actually shipped any out. |

Probably one dealer lowering price on stock he is sitting on. Was hoping to make a killing on "Buy it before it's banned" and no one bought in on it.

Kinda like the desert storm 82's, asking $30K+!!! For what? A beat to shit 82 that most had large chambers for SLAP ammo and had to return to the factory!?
I know there were some idiots biting, some came here and Tony set them straight on what was up. If the offer is to good, there's a reason why. Ask before you leap, might save you in the long run. |

CDNN had them at the same price for a while and so did a couple other shops. I am wondering if the sales on them have just really slowed down.

Dealer cost on them 10 years ago was right around 6,000 so they hold pretty steady. |

www.budsgunshop.com has them cheaper than that but I would have had to pay taxes, so the next cheapest with no tax was my alternative.
Buds has it for $6674 shipped! |

Prepper Gunshop has one listed on gunbroker. M82a1 29"barrel for $7,049. Think this is good deal or you think I can find one cheaper with some time? Too bad I missed the $6600 buds deal.

Never ordered anything from BUDs. Have heard some bad experiences in past. Kinda makes me nervous for such a big ticket item but if that price is truly what you can get thats a great deal. Would consider the layaway option so I could sell my M99 for some extra cash in the meantime.
Others experience with BUDs been good? |

I've never ordered from them but they are a HUGE gunshop that sells a LOT of guns. I'm sure there are some bad experiences with a place that does that big of volume but I would order from them with no questions asked Overall they seem to do well. They are only about an hour from me but I still haven't been there in over 10 years. |

So close to pulling trigger on m82 tomorrow. Shot my M99 yesterday and remembered how much I love shooting the .50, more fun than full auto I think. Anybody shot M99 and M82a1? Is the m82 really that much softer shooting than m99? I don't feel like M99 has much recoil at all. Any reason I should get both or sell M99? I know with proper loads M99 is more accurate but Im generally only shooting for blasting stuff 100-500 yards.
I guess in shortI is juice worth the squeeze for upgrade? |

I never felt like it was super soft and like you my 99s never bothered me recoil wise. I will probably get another 82 down the road but not for a while. I loved the gun but felt it was more of a novelty than the 99. Recently got another 99 and still love them. Maybe a 82cq is what I really need
Want to try a Serbu semi but have never come across one in the wild. |

Thanks. What Im wondering is the novelty of semi auto $7000 .50 going to wear off soon since I already have my M99 for kicks? Just trying to get any last purchases before price increase in the election fall. I guess I could always sell it later for a small loss and just keep my M99.
First world problems. |

Both guns can be had for pretty close to what they cost 6-8 years ago. If Barrett ever drops the 82 and only offers the expensive 107's it will suck but until then the price remains pretty stable. Main problem I am having is that we now have to pay sales tax on transfers so I have to cough up several hundred just for the tax man. Sticks in my craw. |
