Hey, irunguns also rock for some of the cheap stuff nobody else is bringing in....Aero, PSA, etc....decent quality stuff, although a stripped Aero upper for $100 ends up costing me $500 after I'm done building on it....lol

Warrantee for DPMS from IRG :
For those bickering about whether it's safe to buy one from IRG, I'd say yes.

During a price war the consumer wins. We have had dealers tell customers don't buy from IRUNGUNS, they are about to go out of business, be shut down by the RCMP and other hogwash like that. We have had dealers call US manufacturers who build our products and complain that we are selling it too cheaply in order to force us to raise prices. Things are starting to get dirty and I hope it can remain clean. Canadians have been way overpaying for firearms for quite some time now. Notice how things have changed over the last two years? To date we have not had any warranty claim declined from a US company. All firearms are covered by the manufacturers warranty (With the exception of KAC) . IRUNGUNS LLC holds a type 8 FFL which allows us to expedite defense articles between borders for warranty repair. Most warranty repairs can be completed in less than 60 days. Competition is healthy for the consumer and there is enough business for everyone.

when outstanding prices and customer milking occurs, in a free market economy with few barriers of entry, the market eventually corrects the situation by the appearance of a discounter. economics 101 free lesson by mike.
Having grown up in Sudbury, I can appreciate your stance on this topic. For many years businesses in Sudbury fought very hard to keep big box stores out of the area. Many stores had very uncompetitive pricing, and didn't want to have to curb their profits by having to compete with companies offering better deals to consumers.
What you are doing is beneficial to the entire shooting community.

I like where this is going. The prices of ARs dropping out of the sky and American ARs selling for less than Norincos. Totally agree with Steve that this price war can only be good for the consumer, and it will facilitate putting more ARs out there.
When the Norc AR first came out, it did a great job in getting new shooters into the game because for the first time, an AR was made available without costing you your left nut. I think with these DPMS coming in at sub $600, we’re going to see a lot more people joining the shooting community.
I wanted to get a licence a long time ago, but figured I could never afford my dream rifle, which was $2000 so I never bothered. When I heard I could get my hands on an AR for $700 (the Norc at the time), I was really motivated to get my PAL and be done with it. I still have my Norc, and I’m going to keep it just because it was my first rifle and it has so much sentimental value (and also because it’s not worth #### anymore thanks to IRG, haha!). Looking forward to seeing what the future holds, but my wallet and credit card are freaking out right now

The more people have rpals the better firearm owners will work towards common sense firearm laws, the more people have ARs the less people will demonize that platform, and having a top quality ar for 1000$ really helps in that.
True. Thanks for pointing that out!
You guys are my first call. Keep up the good work.
They don't have complete KMR uppers and I can't really buy an upper from an auction site, can I? I thought they didn't 3rd party import gun parts.
Or buy a Stag from Arms East which is the Canadian distributor if you want a warranty that lasts as long as you own it.
Stag Arms is so proud of their lifetime warranty that they even show you how you can tell that you are getting a genuine Stag built AR and even provide you with a phone number to call to confirm the original configuration of the rifle.

There I fixed it for you.
Yes I know what you went through with your Christensen Arms but that's another thread.
$1,000 will get you a top quality barrel and handguard and nothing more. Maybe you can squeeze in a top quality muzzle device but that would be very tight.

I think we can put to bed the subject of warrantee since it’s already been sorted out. The question is, how much are the Stags on sale for at Arms East to compete with current going rates for other brand named/US made ARs?

I wish you guys the best of luck and hope your competitors fail in their bid to take you down. I'll deny no business the right to make a reasonable profit, but speaking as a consumer, I've grown tired of being expected to accept being gouged and paying more simply because I'm Canadian.
