I'm a tad paranoid that another AWB may be looming around the horizon, and I would like to "invest" in a AR lower for a build. I am not a tinfoil hat type and I don't think that Comrade Obama and the evil communist UN is going to take our guns, but I don't think that 1994 2.0 is out of the question.

 

Those of you old timers (tee-hee) that were buying/selling/building guns during the original AWB, how much did prices jump on parts that were still being manufactured? I don't see why they would, but I don't know.

 

I would like to buy a AR lower soon, just so I "own" an AR that I can build over time (as I dont feel like shelling out $700+ at once). I'm just wondering if prices on uppers and such jumped during the last ban.

 

Oh, and I really want an authentic Colt SP1. Damn you Jerseystan.

I don't have any recollection on what AR parts did, but 13 round Glock 21 mags were selling for about $100 - and I had four of them........ should have sold them, and rebought them after the ban went out for $35 each. If only I had a working crystal ball.

Colt SP1 kicks ass.

One of the things to consider is that the banners consider their great failure was the fact that manufacturers and industrious gun owners found loopholes in the law in order to create products for a hungry market.

 

I'd be surprised if any subsequent ban went so far as to more specifically ban AR and AK "type" lowers/uppers/etc. If you're inclined to...Buy now.
