Post by: Wea300mag on June 30, 2013, 12:57:05 PM: I voted Yes. I don't see anybody paying the panic prices anymore. :chuckle:

Post by: Jingles on June 30, 2013, 01:23:53 PM: I voted still there because those that do have aren't selling and those that do want can't find and the manufacturers are still behind in filling orders

Post by: szairborne on June 30, 2013, 01:27:14 PM: Thanks for the input. Ive been seeing parts coming around on a lot of the websites I visit. I also have been seeing people not wanting to spend tons of money anymore too.

Post by: Wea300mag on June 30, 2013, 01:35:58 PM: Jingles makes a good point, supply has not returned on a lot of items.

Post by: BULLBLASTER on June 30, 2013, 06:26:47 PM: I was at a store Friday and they had 10+ ar rifles on the rack. Ranging from $650-1500 price. If you want an ar you can buy them now at more normal prices.

Post by: Huntbear on June 30, 2013, 06:38:06 PM: Parts and complete Uppers are still hard to find. However, if you are looking for a complete rifle, there are many to be had at almost normal prices.

Post by: Fisherdave10 on June 30, 2013, 08:26:56 PM: The Walmart here in Rexburg Idaho has had ARs in the case every time I've visited for the last month. They're getting frequent shipments of Tula .223 and 7.62x39 as well.

On the internet, lowers and uppers are very available now and at near decent prices too.

I'd say the buying craze is over, or almost over.

Post by: washelkhunter on June 30, 2013, 08:37:15 PM: Everyone who had to have one or two now do. Manufacturers greatly increased production to meet demand. Now theres lots of new stock and no real demand. Prices are back to preboom days.

Post by: Wea300mag on June 30, 2013, 08:42:40 PM: I have official proof the craze is over. I just found out the Alexander Arms (6.5 Grendel) complete upper I ordered 8 months ago shipped this last Friday. :tup:

Title: Re: Modern Sporting Rifle Craze!
Post by: szairborne on July 01, 2013, 05:58:28 PM: Wow, were getting some mixed reviews. I wonder if people are sitting on AR parts and not going to use or dont now how to put them together.

Post by: Bean Counter on July 02, 2013, 01:01:03 PM: At my nearest Sportsmans Warehouse you can walk in and order a number of different MSRs. I'm glad inventory levels are catching back up, but I will sort of miss all the stupid people whining about "price gougers."

Post by: magnanimous_j on July 02, 2013, 01:12:28 PM: Wait another 6 or 7 months until the manufacturers fill all their backorders and realize they’ve oversold the market. AR’s are going to get pretty cheap in the next couple years.

AK’s are still better though. :peep:
