Praying Mantis
.....,wants to go to the gun show this weekend with one of her AR-15's and a few 30 round mags, put a little flag on it for 2,500 dollars and see if anyone bites. Ever the opportunist, she reminded me that when Obama was first elected, retailers were out of both assembled guns and parts for over 6 months, but after a bit, they were once more available, and since so much demand was pulled forward, prices for components actually fell to below where they were prior to the election.
Perhaps she is being a bit greedy, but I say what the hell, we built it for under 650 dollars and it really isn't anything special. It has a 20" barrel, an A-4 stock and standard hand guards [polymer] and no optics.
I have seen some AR's on-line for over 2K and it appears at least for now, there are buyers at that price. Selling the rifle wouldn't even dent our preparedness, so perhaps she will get her asking price. We'll see.
