    I don't think it's quite like that.

    The control crowd seems to have played every card in the last year and a half. Unfortunately for them it wasn't enough to even breach the perimeter at a federal level. Obviously if you live in a retard state like CA, NY, MA, IL...CO...etc (basically any all-blue state), sure, it could happen tomorrow. But not in the currently-red states, or even the split states, and not at the federal level.

    Plus I think a lot of people are kind of bought-out from the panic, or from the recent glut now that the panic is over for everything other than bulk .22lr.

    When you consider what the militaries pay for the M4s we as consumers are usually over charged.

    Very true, you make a lot of good points. But personally I think we are right now at the very bottom pricewise, and the prices will go up again, nobody knows when, but it will go back up.

    If BCM comes out with their BFH ELW uppers with this free BCG deal, I am doomed.. I will sell one of my uppers now, to recoup some cost, though.

    I am young and impulsive, is my excuse.
    It is from the construction of underground FEMA camps. I can't say more because there a guy parked in front of house in an AMC Pacer. He is acting like he talking on the phone, but I know better.

    I have to sign off now & put my laptop in the microwave.

    Not sure now is the best time to sell a used upper.

    For example, if you have a used standard 16" mid length - I just bought a brand new one from BCM yesterday for $440 with BCG, Comp and CH. You gonna sell your upper for less than $200?

    BCM has obliterated the used market for a long time.

    Not every buyer is a savvy M4C member. Tons of uninformed buyers out there to scoop up used guns.

    Yeah that is true. Might as well keep it, for another build. You know, cause my AR needs an AR, too!

    This is only a recent occurrence since Colt was outbid first by Remington in 2012, and then FN in 2013. Colt charged very high prices for years. I would buy an FN for $642:

    EDIT: Colt still gets a 5% royalty on every gun that is second sourced until 2050, and that costs the Army an additional $32 per gun. still a bargain price.

    After a lengthy back-and-forth bidding war between Colt and Remington, one that would eventually involve the Government Accountability Office and the threat of a Congressional hearing, F.N. Herstal has won the contract to update and replace the Army’s aging rifles.

    In April of 2012, Remington finally broke the chain of Colt contracts with the U.S. Army, placing an $84 million bid for a run of 120,000 M4A1s, with 24,000 carbines to be delivered starting September of this year.

    The cost per Remington M4A1 was just $673 per. Their bid severely undercut Colt’s previous contract, which priced the rifles at over $1,200 a piece.

    FN’s contract with the Army is $77 million for the first 120,000 rifles, which works out to a bottom line of just under $642 per M4A1. These will be manufactured at FNH USA in South Carolina along side the M16A4s and M249s FNH USA currently produces for the U.S. armed forces.

    Go in peace, but be prepared for violence.
