I'm tired of reading complaints of the price drop. Suck it up buttercups maybe next time they will just destroy the slightly damaged ones instead. No one cares about your little nicks and dings, I want to hear about some range reports.
 
The only thing worse then people complaining about the price drops is the people complaining about people complaining about the price drops.....and now we have people complaining about the people complaining about the people complaining about the price drops.

Gotta love the interweb
 
lol ^^^
I like the price drops and don't mind the blemishes, since I'm not a turnover gun enthusiast. I buy once, cry once and sell 0
;-)
 
Who cares if the price comes down.....it might get more people on board...which makes for a stronger head count owning restricteds. At the end of the day, boo hoo to anyone wanting to keep value. Think of the bigger picture and less about yourselves. That's a prime reason why they are restricted now.....cause everyone was thinking about themselves instead of the group back then too.
 
the reality is that the way CC decided to finally come to market was very poorly executed. It was greatly appreciated, but poor executed none the less. They do charge a premium for their stuff, which some would think was worth it. as with all new stuff that is in high demand, YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR IT! if pricing is an issue, waiting out is the way to go...falling victim to "it'll never be available again" is the chance you have to take. With CC being under Colt Defense and the latter hurting, it only stands to reason that they will try and make money where possible. So I am hoping that CC wakes up and starts selling their rifles for what a milspec rifle is worth....about 1100-1500.00 CDN at this current market and dependent of options. CC will end up selling more rifles, parts and accessories than they can shake a stick at. OTH, their pricing for LE rifles is also too high.

This I agree with, I finally picked up a CC stripped lower off another cgn member, I never thought It would take this long never mind all the other rifles that have reached the market from CC. I really wanted a 10.5 and 11.5 from CC. I love the 15.7 but have so many ARs of that barrel length it just doesn't make sense for me yet. but I'm really resisting the IUR $599 deal it is so tempting.
 
As long as CC remains the "go to" ### gun maker that they are (which is not going to change), they do not need the civilian market at all (thus why they never did sell to civilians before). Nor are they set up to be extremely competitive in the civilian market (and they have no reason to be). In fact, the last thing they want is if their small civ sales interfere with their bread and butter govt contracts.

Basically, if you don't want to spend, get a Nor. If you do want to spend, get a DD. If you want what the SAS and CAF and whoever uses, get a CC (at which point the price is not a main concern).

Thanks MTB, saved me the hassle of typing!

Back to the topic of the IUR......

I bought into the LMT kool-aid 6-7 yrs ago..... After shooting that for a bit, I found a deep sense of "meh". Sold it, never looked back!

Not for me, but if it floats your donut, and you're the type of fella who isn't bothered by cosmetic blems, the discounted IUR does seem like a decent option.

Complaining about a $300 price cut on a blem seems silly....... IT'S A DAMAGED BUT FUNCTIONAL..... Not "on sale"....

559 at some places.



I don't know why people are all annoyed. Hindsight is 20/20, knowing what I know now I would have waited for these, but never did I buy my IUR and think yes this would make for an excellent resale value. That's like me looking at a new bmw m4 and saying yup, the resale value of this would be epic. In a few years they are gonna be everywhere.

The ar15 in canada is actually a symbol of people thinking of the gun community as a whole and fighting to gain the use of it. The ar15 was going to be prohibited until the dcra lobbied successfully to have it made restricted instead. Otherwise no one would have it.
 
wow, you guys are #####ing that the price of "FACTORY SECONDS" is lower then the first run of perfect uppers...... grow the hell up and appreciate the deal, frankly what i would of liked to see is colt mark the upopers with a "2" or something to denote they where sold as seconds, that way they would not diminish the market for the originals, or if any more first runs are released.

These are not "factory seconds". They have blemishes or marks because they were shipped overseas for a contract that as it turns out was not extended so they got shipped back, the damage was from bulk shipping and less than perfect handling. Not that it matters much, just thought you'd like to have the facts. Some guys have said theirs are indeed in perfect condition, some like mine have very minor marks that are hard to find, a slim few have large scratches or gouges.

Perhaps that means a bunch of bolts will be released soon?
