I agree that these should be cheap guns, but to be fair when you properly adjust for inflation $750 in 1989 is about $1400 right now. Which is pretty much exactly what the POF costs. That is why the POF was the one I finally went with. To me it is right at the point of what I think these guns should cost. If I could just get mine to go a full range trip without any issues I would love it and feel it is worth every penny that it costs. Very fun to shoot and mine is dead on accurate out past 70 yards. I just want the jams to stop. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Made in Pakistan? Why are these so expensive? Because people who have been looking at 3000 to 6000 dollar HK94s for a few years will fall all over themselves to pay $1400 for a reasonable facsimile. Because it's HK, sorta. Don't get me wrong, I am looking to buy an HK94 clone myself, the one I have chosen costs more than the POF. But I remember new HK94s selling for around $750 right before the ban in 1989. Nothing about the guns form or function has changed or innovated, they are still $750 dollar guns (give or take a couple hundred for inflation). This is governmentally restricted supply fucking with demand which fucks the consumer.

I just want the jams to stop. They were overpriced in 1989 too. Compare that price to what other rifles cost during that same time period. |
