I believe the 5.56 stamp on a barrel will shoot both, but a 223 stamp cannot.
ARs prices are dropping like crazy

5.56 will shot both.
.223 will not.
Most of the time, if it's labeled "mil-spec", it will shoot 5.56.

Wal-farts in this area of Illinois near St. Louis haven't been selling rifles for at least 10 years!

I gave them a break when they temporarily suspended gun sales and still believe their story that record numbers of gun sales forced them to change policies on a few things that had to do with backorders.
I did however stop buying from them when they inflated all of their prices to take advantage of the panic buying. No thanks CTD, I'd rather pay more some place else in the future. You've bitten the hands of those who have fed you for years in the past few months and I'm done giving you business.

No AR's on the shelves where I am

CDNN had the Colt 6920 for $1100 before the panic as did WallyWorld. I guess I'll have to get another when the price gets there again, probably around June 1. Joe

That's why the prices dropped! There's a couple hundred thousand people in ct that already have like 6 of em and they can't afford anymore. There is the lower demand right there. Haha

Right, and they are made there. How stupid is that really?

In CO, when they passed the normal capacity magazine ban, they told Magpul that they'd be welcome to stay in the state and STILL SELL those "evil high capacity magazines" to other states. It just highlights the hypocracy of these gun grabbers. They're more than happy to deny individual citizens their natural rights, but still want the makers of said "evil" products to remain in-state to take in the millions of tax dollars and indirect revenue that these industries provide. Colt and others in CT need to follow the lead of Magpul and get the hell out of dodge.

I don't believe a state can ban the manufacturing of goods that are legally sold in other states. There are federal laws prohibiting that.

They never tried to get Magpul to stop making the magazines, as of course CO LEO's are still going to want access to them, not to mention the civilian markets in other states. Nobody in CO tried to ban the manufacture of these magazines, but my point is that the legislature was happy to try to keep them in the state of CO to collect that tax revenue, the VAST MAJORITY of which is from out-of-state sales to civilians like you and me.

Ct is doing the same thing. Our local gun advocates (ccdl) seems to be planning a lawsuit.

AR's are still hyper-inflated in my area. Gun grabber state politicians here are still making lots of noise, and they probably have the votes to do just about anything they want to us gun owners.

But will the proposed states/counties/cities offer enough tax incentives etc to lure those other gun companies away?
The fact than an Airbus aircraft final assembly plant -previously only in Europe- will soon break ground in Mobile AL (old Brookley Field) means that the opportunities for gun manufacturers to escape the socialist hyper-regulations and threats are possible.

They are not only possible, but they are happening right now. As mentioned by JRS12Valve above, Colt is following suit to Magpul's move to pull the hell out of tyrannical states and move to free parts of the country. As soon as Magpul moves and gets set up again, I'm going to order tons of goods from them as a show of support, and write them a letter as to WHY I'M DOING IT. If businesses in the gun industry get the hint that we'll support them as long as they support our rights, that's not only patriotic on the part of their management, but also good business!

I was at the LGS yesterday (Tuesday the 23rd). They have LOTS of AR's. All brands and price ranges. Probably a couple of dozen hanging on the wall. Stripped lowers for $99.

I've noticed the prices going down as well on ARs. What I can't figure out is why AK prices haven't gone down. Gunbroker prices for AKs are as much as ARs. It doesn't make any sense to me. I'd like to buy an AK, but not until they come WAY down.
There's a difference in WILL shoot and SHOULD NOT shoot.
Either one WILL shoot the other. However, it's not recommended to shoot 5.56 in a firearm only labeled for .223.

Everyone has run out of gun money. They apparently still have plenty of ammo money though.
looks like BCG prices are starting to fall. couple $175 ads still have no takers for over a day and they've been in stock at PSA for $190 for several hours. maybe if nobody buys them, they will fall back to a much more reasonable $130 or so

many of the valley fun stores have ar's, ak's, 30rd pmags, 30rd eastern european steel ak mags, and ammo to feed it all. The rifles themselves are the most reasonalby priced; i saw one a2, forget the brand, it went for 729+ tax! The AK's aren't dropping their prices quite as fast. I'm still 200$ over ANY AK price I paid in 2011. 300 over 2009.
.22LR on the other hand, still pretty scarce, as are lee carbide die sets. From what i've read, the gov. ammo expenditure aren't that out of the ordinary if you look at the historical data. I think things will rebound as long as Obama's tantrum doesn't morph into some ridiculous attempt to use e-power. He was really throwing a major fit after the senate vote wasn't he ? Wow.
