I just was browsing Gunbroker and the HBAR AR's aint cheap. Looks like the sellers are reading the news.
In an auction scenario it's the buyers that drive the price...sellers can fan the flames but buyers who don't do their homework set the price. PT Barnum was right.
If nothing else...this is the opportunity for those who bought during the last panic to recover their investments at someone else's expense...just like they did by overpaying several years ago.
Bingo, I know folks that paid damn near 2,000 for a colt H-bar at the height of the panic in 2013, for what should have been a 750 dollar ar-15 at best imo.
Similar. I picked up a non-HBAR in the panic of 2013.
Only firearm I own that is not worth at least what I paid for it.
Maybe I should flog it now.
IMO, any decent AR, but especially Colt's, is an investment that will yield large returns in the not too distant future. I've bought a metric ton of them for just that reason.
That's already old news buddy!
Some are blasting Colt, saying they are just playing games. Personally, I took them at their word. They took time off from civilian sales to catch up on multiple contracts. Now thay ere caught up and back in the civvie market.
