I mean seriously...it is not like they are ridiculously scientific mechanisms or that they are that technologically advanced, nor are they really expensive to produce. So, why the hefty price tags? I mean sure the tooling is expensive and some of it could be labor intensive to a point but these $2000-$3000 prices per unit is kind of ludicrous IMO and it only seems to be getting worse? What gives?
I looked over a Gun Guide I have laying around from 2006 and compared it to prices of today and most guns have gone up on average of $600 in 3 yrs. time. That is crazy. You cannot honestly tell me that it has gotten that much more expensive to produce them so why is there that much of an increase? In fact, most of them have remained virtually unchanged. Someone please shed some light on this and please forgive me for my ignorance. This may be common knowledge for some of you but I am relatively new to the whole gun thing, at least in purchasing for myself and I am interested do know.
