What many don't understand in the pricing of guns, is the asic economics. If you were to factor in the cost of doing business in the Philippines ( labor, regulatory and legal) costs and the currency exchanges and convert all of this into US Dollars you would find that they would be in the same price range as the Remington, Ruger, Springfields, and even some Colt models.

Having been in some gun shops in the Philippines not too long ago, I found the same Armscor guns in the philippines to be about 20-40% higher than the comparable RIA U.S. model. Ditto for the Shooter's Arms guns. Can't say for Metro guns. Plus you need a government issued permit which costs money, bribes, etc.
