daniel defense is holding on to their price. I would buy another if they would go down 30% or so

Certainly not entry level there, but locally it seems AR's are sitting. DD seems to be an exception.

I suspect the market reflects the results of the last presidential election.
My AR10 receiver was purchased well before the election in part because I thought that if bitch H got elected prices would skyrocket and we would see O-style shortages of everything.

I assembled my first and second AR's a while before the election and stocked up on components for the same reason.
And I'm not a bit sorry that I did.

I just looked up my first AR to see where the price was at... I was AMAZED. It's an LMT Defender 2000. I'm glad that I've held onto the thing

A lot of people jumped out there, bought two or three. Now they are selling them.

As far as I'm concerned, it's a buyers market right now. One of the reasons I recently bought my first and second AR in the last month. I have also been buying P mags for $10.00 ea...... Time to stock up....
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I've got enough (deep, deep breath...) ... guns.
Now its time for me to stock up on components and, since I hate to load most of it, pistol ammo.

I've got enough (deep, deep breath...) ... guns. . That's good to know. But that might be a questionable assessment. Maybe they're lonely.

I stocked up on components the summer before Obama was elected the first time.
Picked up a couple of LE6920's for a good price last fall before the election. I figured I could sell them for a profit afterwards. When Trump won, I told my wife that we would just have to keep them even if I still could have sold them for a small profit. Her response was, "Which one is mine?"
