If I buy an AR, will it then be more accepted to act better than other folks? Not saying this is the case 100% of the time, but its definately becoming more prevelant than it used to be. People are almost downright rude about it! Am I mistaken or has anyone else noticed this? I sure love buying and selling and meeting members but I've all but lost interest in these guns due to the blood thirsty, money hungry attitude that accompanies ARs. Wow!

I don't think AR's are a status symbol, they're just in short supply right now..

I'd like to say I have some quotes ready but I just see a lot of "so don't ask" and things of that nature going on. Maybe its just me.

I think the OP is implying that people who own AR type rifles are rude and arrogance.......guessing with an I OWN AN AR15 I'M BETTER THAN YOU attitude. My question is what is wrong with the OP? You find these people in every faction. Bolt gun guys....car guys....golf guys. It not WHAT THEY OWN....It's just the personality of the person and they are like that with every aspect of life.

No need to profile, or generalize. I have owned/built several ARs. I've also owned bolt guns. I don't feel above anyone for it.

If not then it's either high fence vs low fence or what's the best caliber. *scratches head*


@fatpratt96:

Not sure exactly what you're trying to get at... people with ARs have bad attitudes lately? About what? Or is it that your perception is that they feel they are high and mighty in these times when others would like to join in the fun but can't, financially, or won't because they're not retarded?

My poor, vague generalization about too many AR owners is they are younger fellows that think they are Billy Bad@$$ or Mr. Im More T@(t!kuul than you. The same dudez that drive 4x4s that have never been off concrete. They're the dangerous ones because they also have too much experience playing Call of Duty so they think they know everything... about everything.

Not true, you average AR owner is somewhere in his 30's/40's, makes good money and isnt all about the tacticool stuff. I sell them for a living,atleast I did when we had some to sell...

How I read the post is that he is upset the prices have sky rocketed and people are jacking up the prices.

The word gouging is being thrown around a lot, and people argue that it is only what the market is bearing. My issue with it is the secondary market is what is jacking the prices up. I dont see colt, rock river or s&w charging more. Or magpul for that matter. It is the individuals or the gun shops making all the profit. Your good fortune in finding an AR shouldnt cost someone else 3 times what you paid, just becuase some one has to have it .

I am extremely frustrated as I have been trying to find a bcg for a new build that was started before the crap hit the fan... Now it is 2 times the cost. So much for doing a build and saving money.

I hate when people sell gold for this week's price instead of 2010 prices. They are greedy blood suckers.

Oh, I may be a younger guy to some (35), love call of duty on the xbox, but had 2 ARs before I had ever played the game. My ARs have always been set up for shooting carbine matches or 3 gun events.

Difference being gold actually cost more now than it did in 2010.

AR's have NOT increased in price anywhere but on the private market. We are still ordering AR's at the SAME price we were ordering them 6 months ago.

Now I dont care, because I already have my AR/ammo/etc AND I am an American so I have no problem with capitalism. But at the shop I work at we are not increasing prices a penny, and when we get AR's in we sell them at the same price we did before all this stupidity.

And what determines the price of gold... could it be the amount of gold available for purchase at a given time in a given market? Hmm.

I understand your point, and like I said I understand supply/demand and see absolutely no problem with people selling their stuff for 3x the msrp. As long as someone is happily buying it who cares, it's not my money.

All im saying is people are acting crazy, there are just as many if not more AR's being added to the market right now as there ever has been. None of these manufacturers have closed their doors or stopped making AR's. In my opinion give it a few months and the market will be flooded, because the demand will drop once everyone has their fill.

Companies like Cheaper than Dirt are shooting themselves in the foot by screwing people like they are. Once the buying craze ends and AR's/parts are available everywhere again people will remember them for being the ones who broke it off in their customers.

No. Demand dictates the price. The amount extant is irrelevant. If nobody desired gold nor had a use for it, it would have little to no value.
