Price Check

[907AR15]

I just need a reality check of reasonable rifle prices post Obama. Here in Anchorage, plain Jane, no frills DPMS, Bushmasters, etc are going for more than $1,600. Is this the case elsewhere? Seems like last year I could find an LMT or Colt for less than that.

Prices are way too high for those types of rifles.

I would look sites people mention here all the time and buy the rifle in pieces.

This is what I have done on my first build/mutt gun. I got the upper (BCM) from Bravo Co, Rail (DD Omega) from Rainier, CH, BCG from Grant and he is working on the lower for me so when I get that all I have to do is snap it together.

I will then have a great rifle for for hundreds under your listed price.

Where the hell are you shopping, I work at one of the shops in Anchorage and its not that bad. A little more than state side. But $1600 for a flat top DPMS or Bushmaster... WOW.

You can buy a Daniel Defense carbine for around 1500-1549.00 right now. I would carry a machete before I would buy a DPMS or Bushy for 1600+ dollars.

In my Area LMTs are in the 1400 range, Colts a bit higher and the rest somewhere under that.

This week on gun store racks here in Alabama I saw a Colt 6920 for $1850, a S&W M&P15A for $1300, and low end Oly/DPMS guns starting around $900.

I keep hearing about people paying $2k for a basic rifle, and I just don't get it.

I can understand if the price tag says $1,600, but is anyone actually paying that much and buying them? Sometimes a shop may just have one of an item and put a high price on it caus they only have one and don't know when they will get more. I would be surprised if they were moving volume at that price point. Even the sales tax on a price that high would be a lot of money.

Anchorage and Fairbanks have no sales tax and Alaska has no state sales or income tax.
:D

I wish that concept would catch on nationwide.

But, it sounds like the regular prices are substanially higher than most places. I have noticed that things like Milk and gasoline in Anchorage always seemed high to me.

Price tags around here from one shop is $1100 for a basic Olympic M4. I remember them selling the same model for $700 four months ago. When I saw the tag the salesman asked what's wrong? I said this is kinda high so he just shrugged.

That was 3 weeks ago and they still havent sold one yet. I guess the local market could be slowing down now or the consumers are getting smarter

You can buy a Daniel Defense carbine for around 1500-1549.00 right now.

Do tell...

Go to New Hampshire. No sales tax and no personal income tax.

Several other states only have one of the two -- some have no sales tax, some have no income tax

[Iraqgunz]

They were on Gunbroker as of late and there were at least a few that were 1549.00-1599.00 buy it now.
