Wondering if any of the old salts or economic gurus have any predictions on whether the market for ARs and AR parts (e.g.- lowers) will settle down if/when the supply catches up with the demand?
Many sites indicate that they will be receiving new shipments in a month or so. If that's the case, I wonder if that will stabilize or even lower the prices? It's obviously pretty crazy right now, which is a stress for potential AR owners trying to build. Also, do you personally feel like there's gouging going on, or just good ole supply and demand? |

Welcome 
Please forward your question to "The Office of The President-Elect".  Thanks. However, I think his office would respond that the supply will soon be cut and demand outlawed. Making the price of a AR stripped lower $50,000 on the black market.  |

Here's my 2 cents
This is similar to what happened at the beginning of the assault weapon ban, but that was something that was directly related to the sale of these things. Even still the prices dropped slowly over the years before the ban expired. In this case, there is not a legal reason for this, just paranoia. Personally I think once the suppliers catch up with the demand there will be a flooded market but no one will move until they see Obama's position and intended moves. Obama has more important things than to go after guns (it actually stimulates the economy, you don't cut that kind of thing). So unless Obama is as stupid as some think this will all settle down come spring/summer and we'll be back to the same prices at least as before he was elected. If he moves towards another assault weapon ban, then you could expect the same prices until things dry up and a few last sales will be horrible excessive. |
