    John is very smart about not posting prices until the said item is in stock at the store. Judging by previous posts he has made, he has been burned by customers saying "Well 6 months ago you said it would be X dollars and now you are selling it for Y" therefor he waits until all the final bills are paid before being able to say what the price point will be

    Thank you for understanding

    The factory has increased our cost by a little more than $100. per rifle.
    Chinese currency is up a bit, Canadian dollar is down a bit
    Ocean going shipping is up by about 20%
    I would GUESS that you can expect a retail price in the area of $599.

    Please understand this is a guesstimate, NOT firm, subject to many variables, NOT final..... But certainly not double as suggested as in rumors we have heard

    One should remember that until Marstar entered the market these rifles were selling for $799. $899. and up.... We decided to buy in volume and get the price down

    No increases to speak of for ten years....

    There's another thread floating around saying it will be likely double the current cost...and that's from a sponsoring business member

    I cannot speak to that, we have long ago signed our contract....
    The cost depends on the volume purchased and the contract negotiated.... After all there is only one factory in China which makes them....
    In short, double the cost seems a bit high to me....

    Thanks for the updates John. Are these going to be the 18.5" or 22"?

    Even if they were double the cost (unlikely), they would still be half the price of a Springfield armoury m-1a,
    I know they are Chinese clones but I'm a Canadian, and the "made in the USA" stamp isn't worth 1000$ to me
