has anyone seen any difference in prices of guns or mags since the ban was lifted?

The price of LEO Colt's is through the roof.  Glad I got mine when I did.  Honestly, though, I think rifles will remain at what they were prior to the sunset except they will come with the evil features now.

What were they before the ban?   I have seen them for as low as $921.00 of course he is out.  The next lowest price is $1100.00.  Those sellers have a waiting list.  To buy one on auctionarms or gunsamerica is between $1500.00 to $2000.00.  IN-FREAKIN-SANE !!!  What the round about cost to build the equifilate (did I spell that right?) rifle?

I bought my LE6920 upper a couple months ago for $739 and my LE6920 lower a couple weeks ago for $299.  People were getting complete rifles pre-sunset for $800-$900.  As far as building your own, it depends on:

1. New or used parts?
2. Specific manufacturer's parts or will any parts do?
3. Exact copy or just similar features?

1.   New
2.   Just good stuff
3.   Similar features

I believe it's the markings such as "LEO ONLY" or "GOV'T CARBINE", etc that is driving them up.  Some of the discussions I have seen are that when and if the ban is renacted.  LEO or GOV'T marked guns will be collectors items and therefore bring more money.

The following should fit the bill:

1. Bushmaster complete M4 barrel assembly  $239
2. RRA upper receiver  $90
3. RRA bolt/carrier/charging handle  $110
3. RRA complete lower receiver minus stock assembly  $150
4. RRA collapsible stock assembly  $70

Total to build yourself  ~$650ish.

Just saw a new Colt civilian M4 (LE/Govt Carbine 6920) in a nearby gun shop for $899. Not bad.
