Everyone complaining about pricing is totally oblivious to a few things, primarily, that the extremely suppressed price of ARs over the last few years was a result of fear of Clinton being elected. Smith and Wesson, and other manufacturers mass produced #### tonnes of ARs in anticipation of huge demand before a potential ban. Thats why things like DPMS, and M&P Sports were priced so low. Trump got in, there was no panic, and they ended up sitting on a bunch of stock. Huge quantities of stock, so basically had to offload at almost no markup. Prices will go back up. You were all spoiled.
