It's not Colt branded AR-15's most people are buying. It's the AR-15 platform that allows people to build a decent AR-15 for 300 bucks that is making them so prolific.
- skyyler 7y agoNo one said it was. This is Colt saying that the cheaper ones are in such high supply that their expensive ones are not worth producing for civilians.
- notus 7y agoFair point. I was mostly anticipating people's reaction to it thinking people would correlate it with noticeably less AR-15's.
- bifrost 7y agoI keep hearing $300, where? This does not seem to exist outside of airsoft...
- Rebelgecko 7y agoPrices have been slowly creeping back up over the last few months, but the usual suspects are companies like Palmetto State Armory (who recently had a $280 kit before shipping, tax and transfer fees) and Del-Ton.
- manfredo 7y agoBuy an anderson lower and a cheap steel barrel palmetto arms upper. Getting it below $300 can usually only be done when parts go on sale, but it can be done.
- bifrost 7y agoThats kinda my point, its not a gun, its parts. You can't walk into a store with $300 bucks and walk out with a useful thing.
- notus 7y agoPalmetto State Armory is specifically what I was referencing, but last time I looked was also 3 years ago
