PSA must have recently marked up their rifles lol

Hmmm... Supply and demand and the profit motive. Everything that socialists hate in one package.

^ Close thread...

Might as well get used to it, ​until Eric Trump gets elected P.O.T.U.S.

I wonder if it is people that never had a gun before, people that want more, or a combination of both, that's driving the demand. In the face of them not being available for purchase I'm sure some folks would rather pay more than we used to than not have the option to buy at all. And, you can't practice with it anyhow unless you're a millionaire with a basement full of ammo!

That’s the part that sucks… Unless we have vaults full of ammo, we don’t want to shoot what we have right now.

It is just the market, no different than the greatly inflated ammo prices i am seeing here and on other sites, if biden gets in and gets his way of "registering " by having to have a stamp, the market will be flooded with them. I brought a bunch of 9mm and shotgun shells back a 2 weeks ago, it was all sold before i got home, 300 per thousand on blazer brass,speer lawman 325 and cases of shotgun shells 55 per case on gun club winchester aa 65 a case. i made a little cash, may go get more in a week or so.

It is the way the market works...not even 2 years ago you could get a decent AR for ~$450...now demand is high and supply low, prices go off the chart!

Palmetto state armory.

The same rifle a year ago is now $400 more.

I checked their site about a month ago and the prices were about $200 less.

Raising prices based on market demand is price gouging.... read it on INGO.

Stag Arms' Stag15 Tactical 16" rifle is only $30 more than it was quoted in an article I read from Oct '19. Combine that with their 10% off over black Friday weekend or their 5% off for first time customers, it's not a bad deal to my eyes - at least in terms of price inflation. Granted, it's still double the budget you suggested, but some reviews on here say it's pretty good for the money.

The only good thing about this is all my ar builds are PSA and a complete upper I bought. I guess they're worth more now. I bought PSA because it was a good value for the money. It may still be but I'm not paying 2x the price. RIP PSA. I'll support them if they lower prices.

One of the issues is cost of supplies for the manufacturers. Their costs are increasing, so their wares are increasing in price. There may be gouging going on, but that’s not the only cause for increased prices.
