    Why can I get a colt for cheaper then any other AR?

    Seriously, WTF? I emailed a guy locally that was selling a RRA 16" HBAR with "competition" barrel(Really) and chinese rail. He didn't list a price so I asked how much he wanted for it. Wait for it.......$1500 I almost burst out laughing. I told him I can get a Colt LE6920 from Walmart for $1050

    Tried telling me the gun is $1400 on buds and that it is no "Walmart Special" And that he is basically giving away the barrel, quad rail and the 1 magazine he had for free :/ Some people I tell you.

    This is not news. 97% of the AR community has no clue and the others hang out here.

    I am far from an industry insider, but I think part of it might be that colt has an economy of scale advantage over many of its competitors.

    Could just be that a lot of people do and/or say stupid (ignorant?) things frequently, though.

    No, I assumed the RRA would have had a price of $800 or so. I was inquiring for a friend.

    Why did I think this was going to be another LE6900 thread!


    BTW, "than" is a very nice word, it should be used more often.

    I almost burst out in laughter that two LGS were selling the Communist 10/20 or 30 Pmags for 45 each! :O

    Plus their still over priced AR's and ammo. I cannot believe people but it, but they do so...

    Locally Magpul PMAGs are $13 and I keep seeing online geeks posting about $25 PMAGs or 2 for $40 specials.
