The SAME overpriced machine gun from J*ckson Armory!

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=428731232 The SAME overpriced machine gun from J*ckson Armory! What's up with this J*ckson Armory business? They clearly aren't a seller, as they've priced their guns for 2.5x what their gun is worth, and have been repeatedly been posting the same two guns for ages. Has anyone seen them sell anything?

I'd guess they're going for free advertising.... and you are providing it for them. In other words, the auction is doing exactly what it's designed to do.

While I agree that the AC556 is overpriced, I'd say only by about 5k-6k. I haven't seen a 13" blued folder sell for $5,800 for a couple of years now, at least. I keep a close look-out for AC556's and parts sets and this is what I've seen:
1. None for sale on Sturmgewher.com for several weeks now. Recent sales: Stainless full-stock $9,000 Stainless folder $13,025 Stainless folder $12,000 Blued folder $9,625 2. I know that there are a lot of parts sets out there. Those who have them are being very careful not to flood the market to keep prices in the $1,000 range. Still, I think the availability of parts sets is making the AC556 a little more desirable. I just picked up a nice complete fire-control group as a spare for mine for around $400 (the only parts you really need are the fire control group, happy-switch and link. There's a good chance that the used barrel won't line up correctly anyway) 3. New barrels, and even good aftermarket barrels are easily available. The receivers are rock-solid. 4. 20 and 30 round factory magazines are easy to get, not super cheap but available. 5. Several "tactical" stock options are available. |

Check with Ruben "The Cuban" Mendiola. His prices seem to be a little more reasonable on most things.
