    Is this a good deal on an AR?

    I found a dpms a-15 (223 or 5.56) brand new with case and 2-20 round mags for $800. It has the handle on top for carrying it. Adjustable stock and chrome barrel.

    What do the AR guru's think?

    Not a bad deal for a more entry level ar. Definately below the going rate. If you didn't like it you could probably flip it for a profit. Sounds like a win win to me. I'd get it if I had the cash!

        I think prices will start coming down. Seems like the scare is fizzling out. For a while you could not find em as they were selling like hot cakes but thats does not seem to be the case currently. Even Ammo is easier to come by now. My local Academy had been out of most ammo for what seemed like for ever and every time a new AR or AK would come in it would not last for more than 30 mins. Now I have seen 3-4 ARs and an AK that have been sitting there for the last week and the .223 cheapo rounds been sitting on the shelf as well.

          I went ahead and bought it cause there was a guy waiting to look at it when I got done.

          It is not the light model.

          I just wanted to make sure I was getting an ok deal.

            prices are falling pretty much everywhere.

            Im seeing DPMS going for $700-$850 on a lot of websites.


            edit:
            is this what you got ?


            they are $1000 bucks there, so you didnt do too bad.

              DPMS AR's were going at the gun show at Reliant center for 800 bucks, so you did ok, especially if it was a purchase from an individual and no paperwork...

                  I agree you did OK........now you'll have fun finding and affording ammo for it, although that situation is slowly improving as well.

                    That looks just like it.
                    Thanks for the help.

                      My son told me people were camping out for 3 days before a big gun show in Reno, NV this week to be able to buy ammo, all the local stores are sold out. The best guns salesman is still in the white house.

                        2 mags, case, and chrome barrel... Couldn't go wrong at that price for just the rifle! Great purchase, enjoy and beware of the addiction!!!
