Food for thought:
At the IDPA shoot today, I spoke to a manager of a local gun shop about the AR market and what he told me about the state of the market was enlightening.
He told me his store is sitting on at least 100 (new) AR rifles and another, larger store in our area, is sitting on even more. He told me that in the next few weeks or months I should start seeing significant discounts on good quality ARs. He likened the situation to the housing bubble. He told me if I was holding off on purchasing any new ARs that the near future holds good promise.
If his store is typical, and I think it is typical of the tactical-focused shop, I believe this same situation may be playing out all over the country. I think I would keep a sharp eye out for deals in the coming weeks.
