With gun sales going nutz in the last month, it did not take long for our M&P15 inventory to run out. Were were told that there was only going to be 1 shipment of these rifles at the lower price this year, so once they ran out we thought that that was it. Good news is we had 10 more show up. We are not sure where the pricing will go one these next time around, but for now they remain at the old pricing.

 
Looks like the price on these are on their way up now. Would be a good idea for someone who hasn't gotten one of these to jump on it while they still can for these prices.

Seriously doubt it...looking at the quarterly reports from American Outdoor...sales fell 33% year over year and stock hit a 52 weeks low just in March....so ya... I don't think the price is going up anytime soon for this firearm.

No one is buying firearms now that republicans are in power....and we as Canadians should enjoy low price on both American made firearms and ammo for a few more years. That is if the saving get passed on to us though the dealers.

On other guns, no dont expect prices to go up. On these guns, yes they most certainly will.

A Norinco CQ-A cost importers $400 USD Plus Shipping = Retail price of $699.95. Chinese Made AR of Lesser Quality.

S&W M&P15, better quality, built by people who can enjoy the same luxuries as most North Americans (the way it should be), who pay taxes in communities that support the American way of life.

Even if sales are slow S&W will not keep turning out a loss leader in the Market. It has been a long run of these, but it cannot go on forever.

These were listed at 650 a year ago, have you looked at what they retail for now from the venders?
 
I keep putting off buying one of these but I think I might have to pull the trigger. I don't want to miss out but I don't know if this is just the new normal pricing on these or a temporary sale to clear inventory at factory.
 
What about the nice black rifle combos you had listed a while back? I got my RPAL a few weeks ago and they were gone! I think the pricing was slightly more attractive then purchasing both separate.
 
These are awesome rifles for the price. One of the best deals going for an AR, especially with a melonite lined and coated barrel. Very hard to find a bad review on these. Check out this full auto torture test which really sold me on one:


Also, the more AR's in the hands of CGNers the better!

Ya if you are lucky you got them at around $620-$650 (which very few did)....but doing a search on this site or Google ...you will find these at the $699 mark since last year....and checking out the vendors now I see the same price of $699...so not much is changed
 
They are nice rifles. I have one and I would prefer that over a norc any day of the week. I did spend about an extra 200$ to make it more comfy for me (new grip, handguard, castle nut), so overall, it's totally worth its cost.

But I also don't believe they're gonna get back to 1000$ any time soon. AOBC is not the only company overflowing in ARs. AOBC has overproduced more than others (compared to, say, Sturm Ruger), so they have to make a larger fire sale, but they're not losing that much per item, and they can't reduce production that much without cost either. The largest problem for all the companies making ARs is how the fullfillment channels (distributors and retailers) is packed right now. There are distributors with warehouses full of ARs (not just S&W, every brand), mostly budget ARs, the ones that are the most popular with amateurs. The retailers also have shelves full of them.

In the end I think the norcs will have to be sold at a lower price. Gun buyers are getting used to these prices, and when the dust will settle, a LOT of us will have an AR and will either want a high-end model, build our own from a receiver, or will be just happy with what we have. Last year when the sales started on these (and other models), all 10 CFOs got overrun and the longer transfer delays started. That means a lot of ARs moving around.

Or get a real licence.

Seriously if it's only for range use, get a RPAL and buy a S&W. The WK180 won't come out for a while, and I doubt it'll be much better that this rifle, while costing an extra 200$.

No reason not to get both though.
