    Could Trump usher in sub $400 AR15?

    I feel prices have been inching up the last 6 months because of the election. Could the AR platform hit a new all time low?

    No. Wholesale prices haven't moved at all. Wholesale prices are well above $400. Unless manufacturers do the old "we'll lose a little on every sale but make up for it with volume" joke, it'll never happen.

    If there were more suppliers willing to cut corners on polishing but still warranty defect... it could happen
    $100 for upper and lower
    $100 for a barrel
    $100 for a BCG
    $100 for the parts kits (this is where we'd have to see some prices drop)
    but it could happen.

    Do you REALLY want every manufacturer to put out a PSA garbage bin AR? We already have PSA, Anderson, and Radical for that.

    I do not think there is a lot of fat to trim off the sw and ruger $560 ar15s that you can make it much cheaper, make it well, and make money and stay in business.

    I agree. We already have enough low and moderately priced ARs.
    Opinions and comments made by me on this forum should not be considered legal advice.

    A $560 AR15 at retail is incredibly cheap when you factor in 11% excise tax, shipping, wholesaler/retail markup, etc.

    Anderson lowers ar $50 at Cabela's at this point which would certainly allow a person to put together an extremely inexpensive AR, but I wouldn't expect complete rifles to go much lower.

    Hopefully he'll release the surplus M1 carbines still in Korea.

    I think it is possible, but not because the cost went down ... I know quite a few FFLs who were betting on Hillary and are way way over extended. They will start dumping merchandise to get cash flow .... I anticipate alot of dealers going under in the next two years.
