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

Not until the socialists party is in control of the government. If new gun ban laws were made, why wouldn't the resulting panic affect all evil black assault weapons of war.

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.

Huh? grabagun has the sport ii for $519.00 in-stock, my local lgs wants $600+ and that price has been like that a long time; maybe you were looking @ the M&P15 811000 or 11511 those are different animals than the cheaper made sport ii

I paid $589 for my original Sport from GaG several years ago - the early version with no FA or dust cover. Nice value AR that was fun to shoot.

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

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've asked myself that same thing. My inital thought is no that it will drop or remain flat until some gun ban starts. Then we may see some increase if we can legally sell them.

I'm sitting on a couple of quality manufactured AR's that I bought around 2012/2013 that I know I couldn't sell for anything near what I paid for them new. So...... I reckon I need to just keep them.

One year before the 2016 election an acquaintance bought 300 stripped lowers for something like $75 ea. Trump gets elected and the value dropped. Now????
One year before the 2016 election I had absolutely no desire or use for but "because", my 13 year old grandson built a really nice quality AR15 plus mags, full on spare parts kit as well as a few thousand rounds of ammo.
Seldom shot, often fondled and a smile every time I pick it up.
Would I do it now if I did not have one? In a NY minute.
