I can't for the life of me figure out why a Colt 6920 with basic plastic handguard could cost so much. The price is close to a KAC SR15 which has:

Top tier handguard
one of the better match trigger
extremely nice BUIS
LMT SOPMOD buttstock
Lower is ambi with sling attachment
E3 BCG system(debatable but still a plus).

ETC ETC ETC

Anybody?

Because people keep buying them for that price.

Would you lower the price of your product if it had strong sales numbers and was making you lots of money? That's what I thought.

I've always wondered the same about KAC.
 
Researchers tried to determine why Canadian stores charged so much more for products than they did in the US.

After months of research and analysis, the only reason they could come up with was:

Because they can!
 
You have your answer buy a KAC!

I've been leaning for my first AR for either a DD or a KAC, I wanted to buy my first AR for xmas, but I'm thinking for my birthday present in April instead. I don't want to buy something crappy that I regret later or have to go to the trouble of selling later, I hate selling my stuff and dealing with people, so I'm going all out balls to the wall.

IMO, any AR over 2000.00 is pretty much a cash grab for the big manufactures, $3000.00-4000.00 priced AR's is pretty much insane, they do very little more if anything at all compared to a 1000.00 AR. You are paying for the big name and all the feel good hype associated to it, if you have the $$$ and need the image then fill your boots of course lol.

I would bet that the Norinco CQA is Canada's top selling AR and will be for some time although prices seem to be dropping on US made AR's lately
 
So there you go, because some Canadian importers went through the trouble of doing paperwork to import them they can sell them to you at 3 times the price that's why.

Even though anyone can fill our the importing paperwork, convincing a store to do the matching export paperwork can be a pita. But usually I'd say it takes 100-200$ worth of my time. Not 1000-2000$ ;)
