It's been my experience that gun prices rarely go down. So the answer is, probably never.

Prices HAVE already dropped. One can find Colt 6920s for $1400 and Bravo Company USA has a superb midlength carbine for $1,150. Go here: http://www.bravocompanyusa.com or call them and ask for Grant.

Prices are already pretty low
CMMG bargain bin is back, complete rifles for $600. Complete lowers at the gunshows I've been to are around $230-$250 with RRA parts kits and receivers from RRA, Kaiser Defense, Stag, etc. Colt 6920s were going for around $1,100 at the lowest I've seen, which I think was better than pre-election pricing. 6940s are going for around $1,300-$1,400. They're a little higher now but not the ridiculous $1,400-$1,500 for a 6920 like they were. PKFirearms sells a complete Daniel Defense 16" carbine upper with 1:7 twist, chrome lined, M4 cut receiver and a RRA BCG (which you can replace with their in-house BCGs if desired) for just under $500, mate that with a lower of your choice and you have a good quality gun for around $800 Now I can't speak for Noveske gear, other than keeping an eye out for dealers on AR15.com that run sales on their stock, which has been happening more than occasionally lately. |

I was going to say what others already have, the prices already are falling. I'm constantly seeing the used market in my area full of them.

To be more precise, I think prices are where they were before the shortage. Back to normal. That's why I bought my first AR about a month ago.

Some have come down already but those with more demand than supply will take a while.

Colt 6920's have been at $1099 at the last few D/FW area shows. I think that's about as dropped as it's gonna get.

I think prices are pretty low, more an issue of retail stores getting higher prices versus people really looking for lower prices.
For example a local store in town wants about $1050 for the Bushmaster ORC while impactguns.com is selling it for $887. I don't really see prices dropping. While supply and demand has driven prices somewhat it seems mostly at retail outlets... many internet stores still are selling at good prices.

They have dropped, big time since the begining of the part of the year and I'd say they are about as low as they are gonna go, there are plenty of deals out there to be had. If you want Noveske you are going to pay a decent $ no matter what, it is one of the higher end rifles, it is like trying to find a Porsche at Camry prices, just not going to happen.

I think the name Noveske is your problem---never was cheap---never will be.
Standard AR stuff is getting cheaper. |

The bottom can probably be considered to have fallen out of the AR market, but I don't see things going back to 1980s prices or the absolutely top notch rifles going for cheap. |

The Obama-mania has run its' course....AR's back to reasonable prices.
Good quality ammo for 223 is down to $.40/rd and is available. |

I built mine fairly cheap. A stripped DPMS lower I got for $120 and a Del-Tonic upper for around $560 with the M4 style barrel and feed ramp. That was 3 months ago and prices are still dropping IMO.

Well...If Noveske is not going to on sale I will just have to find a rifle that is just as good and just as accurate as Noveske stainless barrel but cost less, if that is possible at all.

I don't know about "just as accurate" but IMO, Sabre, Daniel Defense, and BCM are all great weapons that are good value for what you get vs price paid.

Kurbsky, I'd look at a BCM upper. Mine (16" carbine length gas) is astonishingly accurate. I imagine a Noveske or LaRue would be better at longer ranges, but my BCM has nothing to be ashamed of.

BCM is every bit as good as Noveske or LaRue. In fact the new BCM cold hammer forged upper can not be beat for twice the price . as far as price Quality costs ,and the prices are more than fair for what you get . what I want to see is Ammo prices come down to reality .

BCM upper is not as cheap as you think. If you read the small print, it's sold without sights and some other things I believe.

I think 99% of people that are buying a BCM know that it does not come with a BCG, handguards or rear sight. They are still a value if you want a gun that you can run hard for a liofetime and never have to worry about it going down. When you compare them with the other rifles in their class, they are a value. All depends on what you want. I have 2 BCM's a middy and a carbine length and both are just as good as the Colt I am issued at work.
