Pricing bubble bursting?

Or possibly, johnny-come-lately manufacturers making cheap and inferior products to catch the gun-buying-panic train, and make a fast buck before they disappear into the night, never to be heard from again.

I think you're right. This is going to be a case of 'you get what you pay for'

Nationally things are coming down, just not here.

Those would worry me at that price point though. Poly receivers?

There is no way you can make a quality AR 15 at that price point.

 

[yellowsled]

lol @ that AR

 

[kalister1]

I paid $400.00 for my S&W M&P-15, new in the box as they say.

Being that cheap it reminds me of the old saying...You get what you pay for. Just hope that its not a complete pile of junk if you do decide to purchase one.

 

[ObsceneJesster]

I feel sorry for the person who buy's that AR.

$479 does seem a little low, but we used to have members bragging about their $500 AR builds all the time before the last craze hit...

I bet their castle nut isn't staked.

Ive been looking at building a .22 upper, and the upper alone would come in around the price of that rifle. Sounds nice, but you know what they say about playing stupid games. Just replace stupid with cheap in this case I guess. Then again, how much damage could they do to a dedicated .22? The whole thing seems fishy, seeing how when you go to their website they don't even have their rifles listed on the page.

How many years ago did Colt sell ARs for $500?

American Tactical = Turkish.

Colt sold ARs for $500? How long ago was that?

Pull the trigger and it goes BOOM. Once.

 

[phx223]

Pull the trigger and it goes kaBOOM. Once.

FIFY

More than 10

American Tactical = Turkish.

Don't know about these, but Turkish is not necessarily a bad thing. I owned a terrific Stoeger Cougar 9mm that was perfect fit and finish, no FTL/FTF/FTE. Great quality throughout. If, for example, the same factory that makes the Cougar made these AR's I would not hesitate to jump on one.

In this instance, turkish is a VERY bad thing. I have yet to see something sold in the US by "ATI" that wasn't complete dogshit.

Well, their under-powered "nato-spec" ammo did give me lots of free FTE drills, so that was a cool bonus.
