Will Ar-15 Type guns go up in price/value?

[picrthis]

I think the panic has already begun.

Was looking to pick up a S&W M&P Sport II, or a Ruger AR556 - just in case. Three weeks ago, Bud's had 'em both for under $500.

Checking several online sites, like Bud's, Grab-A-Gun, etc, they're either sold out, or the price has gone through the roof.

Not cool.

If you're going to buy a S&W AR why buy the Sport model?, I'd get the much better quality M&P15 models they are mil spec, the Sport series are the cheap-o versions designed to compete with the self builds and other lower-end brands

whew that's was a close one. Gotta get some 556....running low. Whats a good price these days? Its been a long time since I bought 556

I'm just gonna build what I want the first time, instead of doing it piecemeal down the road...

I've thought about that recently, only I am thinking about a 9mm ar pistol with an "arm brace". I wonder how short and light I could make it???? Could be fun if I could get it lighter than a CZ Scorpion which is on the heavy side for I think a 7 inch barrel.

I own what I think will soon vanish as sales went in the toilet after President Trump was elected. An Original DD-M4.
It blows away any other AR I ever shot including my original Colt 6920.

Mine are ambidextrous

I just saw 23¢/round for 5.56mm rounds. If you can buy that for 23¢/round then that kinda puts re-loading on the back burner. But keep the brass handy because it ain't always gonna be that way.
