Seems like prices have gone up everywhere.
I guess supply and demand applies here. |

My FFL also said Arsenal is shipping a batch of milled underfolders with the stamped stock struts and flash hiders.

Well, Arsenal, Inc. has not announced anything... you just heard from your dealer. This may or may not be true.
Anyway, I can never understand bellyaching about price increases - supply and demand WORKS. If they price their rifles too high we will stop buying them. I know when I have reached the limit of what I will pay and when I get there I simply wont pay it. Now isn't that easy?

The bellyaching comes from the fact that the price increases are due to the artificial constraints put on the market by our dear old friends the atf.

Blame our congresscritters and Executive Orders, not the ATF. They are just the enforcement branch. We pay $12,000 for a $500 automatic rifle because of them. |

In economics this is what they call "whatever the market will bear". So, as long as we are willing to pay what ever the suppliers demand, the prices will continue to go up until the market will no longer bear the increases. The AK market right now reminds me of the stock market in the 1990's when the law of the bigger fool reigned.

lets agree to blame everyone. the atf, the congress, the pres's. they are all responsible now and have been repeatedly. lets hope the price hike that occurs because of this isn't too big. |

Price hikes at Arsenal (if true) do not trouble me, that is capitalism and I love it, I sure don't want to pay more but that is just the way it is with supply and demand. If people stop buying their rifles, they will either come down in price or perish unless of course there is a government bailout with our tax money of course. Arsenal is a business and they are there to make money. if their products are going to be limited they might as well make enough money before they are oput out of business. Would you not do the same if you were them? I would! Besides I already have three of their rifles and don't need any more...yeah right, who am I kidding...

There will be some increases in pricing on some rifles, they havn't made an official announcement as far as I know and I talked with the prez of Arsenal today.
They are working with a finite # of barrels that they can legally build into the M7 series. There are fixes to the barrel situation being looked into, but they aren't going to be cheap ones. We'll just have to see what'll happen in the next few months. |

Arsenal price increases don't bother me too much.. I have allways found their products to be way over priced.. They are nice, but still way too high..

I feel fortunate that the Arsenal rifles I want are already out there, or will be imported as a whole.

Too bad the price is going up. Not unexpected, they won't be able to get the less costly factory barrels. Makes sense to sell what you have for as mcuh as the market will bear.
Glad I got my milled rifles now...

Sure, $1200 is a heap of cash for an AK, but the SAM7SF was simply What I Wanted.
