What is a PSL worth?

[cbrgator]

I'm seeing them for $700-900 and I'm wondering if that's the post-election inflated price or an actual fair price?

I think $700 is a fair price for what you get. Maybe we will see them get down to $600 by the end of the summer but I'm not sure how much they actually cost a dealer.

AIM Surplus has them for $699 plus shipping. No reason to pay more.

Yea, aimsurplus is the cheapest I've seen them. What I am wondering is, is $700 the true value or the inflated value? Were they less expensive a year ago?

 

[jerkface11]

The price a year was the true value for a year ago. This is now.

 

[lipadj46]

I don't recall off the top of my head but I believe they were always around $700 (within the last year or so).

I don't recall PSLs being offered for less than $700 is quite some time. The only ones I saw that were less than that were sans scopes, spare mags, etc.

PSL-54's didn't go up in price from the main vendors. Always been around $700 with scope.

Ok, thanks. I was hoping if I waited they'd go down in price. They look very cool, but I don't know if they are $700 cool.

An M1 Garand for $500+ is far more cool!

I plan on buying one in the near future. I think I will be paying to much, but they are worth whatever I am willing to pay.

Yeah it is, where did you see that?

 

[cbrgator]

I would guess he's talking about the CMP.

Skip the PSL, you're not missing anything.

I saw the 'kit' for $750 at a gun show about 4 years ago.

And ditto for the Garand, money well spent.
