Just weighing in here, the S&W SportII I bought this January was $500 at a local gun store. It's now $600!
Again, politicians are raising firearms prices by increasing the demand for firearms.
Are AR15s going up in price?

Ya gotta hand it to them democrats. Greatest gun salespeople ever. And if it wasn't for them, guns wouldn't be such a lucrative way to invest.

Re: Are AR15s going up in price?
Prices are definitely starting to inch up. The Ruger AR 556 is $539 (cash price) at Buds right now. Pre-FL shooting it was just under $500, so an 8% increase. I expect that trend to continue, and then accelerate significantly if new legislation is introduced. Fortunately I am well stocked at the moment, so if anything a price spike might entice me to sell some of mine.

I'm guessing you meant the buying age will be raisedmrvmax wrote:My wholesalers are starting to run low on lower priced AR’s. Some FFLs in other states are seeing more younger people buying, fearful the buying age for AR’s wil be lowered.

Re: Are AR15s going up in price?
I just noticed this new banner message on Buds site
I would say that the panic of 2018 has officially begun......
They are now out of stock on a lot of entry level AR's including the Ruger AR556 and the S&W M&P 15 Sport.An unexpected large increase in demand has caused delays throughout our supply chain. Please expect longer than normal processing and shipping times on all orders.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
