There is a store north of Pittsburgh PA in a small town called Rochester that has John Brown's Armory. He has had AR's non stop during this deal. :)
He was (and most likely still is) getting all he reasonably can.....such as Stag/Bushmaster/CDD asking around $1300... but he was about the only guy setting on stacks of boxes of these things. :(
On the high side..... I am very happy to hear of a shop not gouging the heck out of the customers and offering a fair price for the product. That is good news. Maybe in 2 years we will even be able to buy ammo so that we may try out these affordable M4's setting on the shelves! :mad:
The guns are out there. Plenty of Bushy M4A3 Patrolman's, Colt 6920 , etc., it is all about supply and demand. If you are willing to pay what the going rate is at the time you want to buy, you will find it.
If a business man had the foresight and funding to buy a large volume of AR15's and pile them in a secure room until they are banned. Someone, could likely double, or triple their orignal investment in a relatively short period of time, selling pre ban NIB AR's. You won't do that in the stock market.
As a finance professional, this thought has occured to me more than once. The one risk you undertake that cannot be priced into the equation is the same one many firms are now facing with all these stimulus plans: what if the government changes the rules of the game?
Say a law passes that saws no one can sell or transfer an AR to anyone except a family member through a will? Suddenly, your inventory is worthless as an investment... The unknown is what you need to watch out for.
When I bought my 6920 last week the shop still had 5 various DPMS models from $7-800, an M&P15 with the Magpul MOE hand guard and BUIS for $1100, and an M&P15R 5.45x39 for $930 which was the only one left this week when I checked back. The owner said the high-end ARs are still difficult to get but he has no problems getting DPMS and others. My Colt was 1315 which I thought was pretty damn good.
Those are quality guns. Don't you read the gun magazines and the posts here by the owners? They fire about 250 rounds a year of .223 in them and they work flawlessly.
Are you saying that they should blow their money on over-hyped Noveske, Colt, DD, or S&W weapons? How silly......
I have a friend who has the same idea, but with magazines. He has "acquired" about 1,000 30 round magazines and hopes to star selling them in a few years.HTML Code:If a business man had the foresight and funding to buy a large volume of AR15's and pile them in a secure room until they are banned.

Don't come down to the South Hills then!!! Most rifles down here are still running in the $1,100 - $1,300 base range. My shop in West Mifflin had 84k of PMC Bronze .223 come in in March - $399 a case/1,000 out the door. It was all GONE in less than 3 weeks! :eek::eek::eek:
