As we all know the gun market has been crazy these passed two months or so.
I was content with what I had until I started seeing news on "executive orders" and all the guns Washington was going after.
I really wanted another AR until I started seeing the madness on gunbroker and in stores, needless say I was upset. Even the shop I work at we are having a ton of issues trying to get new guns on the shelf, Ammo was a whole other story (Ordered 10k rds each of 762x39 and 223/556) we got the 762 but the wholesaler would not send us the 223/556.
So I hit up Gunbroker this week with a budget. I wanted a BCM, DD, PSA, LWRC, Noveske, S&W mid-length MOE/Vtac, or CMMG. I had to have mil=spec, mid length gas system and a quality 1/7 or 1/8 CHF barrel. To my luck things had calmed down a lot of GB but AR's are still going for more than MSRP. I was bidding on about 20 of the above guns and a few times the auction was coming to an end someone would bid with 5mins left and blow my budget (A few times by only $25)
Most DD v7's were getting sold for $2k-2.5k, PSA's 1500-2000, Noveske ave 2500-3000, LWRC's were in the 3's and BCM were around $2k save for the EAG and Jacks I saw one sell for 6k
I kept at it with my guide lines and got a few deals. 1. NIB PSA mid-length with standard GI furniture and 16" CHF barrel $1300 shipped. 2. CMMG 14.5 CHF barrel, mid length gas, Magpul everything, sling, optic, magpul buis, 600rds, and 5 mags for $1800 shipped.
Though these aren't the best prices in the world I'm pretty happy with what I got. Even if/when Washington comes off this gun kick and things go back to normal I didn't pay 5x the MSRP like I had seen over the last few weeks. I can't wait to shoot them!
Now if I could only get a few lowers for under 200 I'd be really happy.
