AR's in stock in Indy

[drillsgt]

Elmores and BGF have AR's in stock. Elmores has the Sig magpul AR's for 1995.00 (you know the ones Walmart sold for 917.00) and Colts for 2500.00. BGF has Bushmaster, DPMS, and I think a Rock for 1800.00. Go clean em' out!

It'll be interesting to see how quickly they go...has the panic subsided yet? That is the question.

Agreed...I have purchased from Elmores in the past, but no more. Bad rep.

BGF stand for Beech Grove Firearms? That is surprising if so. I wonder if the suppliers jack up the price causing them to up it.

That may be what is happening. A week or so ago, I sent an email to a LGS I've dealt with previously and he said the distributors were jacking their prices to him...FWIW.

Were they new or consignment?

I didn't purchase from Elmores anyway. They're rude and expensive. I'm 26, clean cut, respectful but all they saw was young kid and I was treated like I was an annoyance.

This just furthers my feelings on them.

I'm not sure about those suppliers specifically but a friend who carries Aresanal's products said his cost went up 25% two weeks ago from the distributor. Also, when I was at Elmore's last the few remaining ARs seemed high when I asked about that they were all used ones being sold on consignment and the owner set the prices.

At those prices, I'm guessing the latter.

Thats why I deal with Bradis for 99% of my gun business. They took the time to talk to me and always treated me like I was a person and not just another punk kid. Im only 25 btw.

Even though I somtimes showed up on my bike and in full on "punk street biker" gear.

Now I know most of them on a first name basis.

Shooter521 was the one who turned me to INGO too.

OK ask them how much they will pay for a AR 15.During the last ban is why I will never go to BRADIS again.Nothing now will top what they told me and I have witnesses.

A local shop I pickup most of reloading components said the same thing. He had a Remington R-15 VTR he had gotten in. Said he was listing it for $1995, didn't have much of a choice since his distributor raised their price to him.

What are you guys hearing from your distributors about future pricing? Going up?

 

[Shudder]

I was at Cabin Fever Guns and Ammo today and they had a few ARs in stock. An M&P 15 sport (used, I believe) for $1,200, the OR version (new) for $1,600, a DPMS for $1400 or so. In case anyone is interested.

What did they tell you?

That it is a used rifle and not made of gold?

We'd have to see the gun in question first. But as a rule of thumb, on current-production guns in excellent condition, we typically go ~60% of whatever our wholesale price would be on a new one. From that base, we would adjust accordingly for additional parts/mags/ammo, desirability, and what we currently have on the rack. You can ALWAYS do better selling privately than you can trading or selling to a dealer, and we inform potential sellers of this up front.

During the last ban is why I will never go to BRADIS again.

Hold grudges much? The last ban expired in 2004. Many things have changed since then, both in the AR market and in the shop itself.

From what we've seen thus far, pricing has taken a bit of a jump on some things, as it typically does around the first of a new year, but nothing really crazy. Availability is going to be a *****, though.
