No Luck With AR15 Purchase in Washington

[RoneKiln]

My buddy saw a Colt 6920 in Walmart for $1100 yesterday, so Walmart is still having some trickle in at the old price. I told him to call me next time he sees that and stand guard over it till I get there.

I'm in Charlotte NC visiting family for the holidays... my brother got caught up in the craze over here. He went to Hyatt Gun Shop here - they wanted 3500 for a Bushmaster with ACOG on it. He ended up ordering a Colt LE model through a dealer out of Atlanta. He has yet to receive notification from them that anything has shipped to his FFL yet... that was six days ago. Oh, Hyatt wanted $60 each for a 30 round mag. I told him I just bought some mags at a recent PDX gunshow for $12

Just wait it out man, the prices will come back down. Maybe not all the way down but much lower than they are now. Back in 2007 during the frenzy prices got just as high and came back. Just wait it out.

 

[nick1980]

We have created these prices just like we did in 2007 and just like we have with ammo over the last 6 years. I say 2-4 months and prices will be more "normal"

 

[MarkAd]

I'm not in a rush to buy one, either. Appreciate all the comments, will keep my eyes peeled and purchase when the price is right (and available!)

Olympic Arms is just down in Nisqually. Have you tried them.

After reading all this I feel like I won the AR lottery on Christmas eve. My woman works for Fred Meyer so I buy most of my tools from them due to the nice 15% discount we receive. I had special ordered a GP100 last march and when I got the call that my pistol had arrived on the 24th I was in the Christmas spirit. Then the associate told me that a colt m4/magpul with double mags had arrived alongside my special order.

I asked him to hold it and I would buy it, but they told me that it is first come first serve and another guy was already on his way in. The race was on........I won.

Beat the other customer by maybe 10 minutes. I was out the door in an hour with the GP, M4, a box of 38spl ball and 357 ball for about $1500.

It seems like the big retailers (Bimart, Fred Meyer, Walmart) are holding to the old retails (or at least were) and I would make a list of the phone numbers of those that are closest and carry firearms. Then I would call daily around receiving hours for UPS/Fedex at those locations. My closest Fred Meyer usually gets them in the late morning.

Good luck with the search.

Fred Meyer does sell guns. Where have you been? Maybe not all but some. One in Newberg does.

Probably like the Walmart's where I live, some sell rifles and shotguns and some do not! and they on 20 minutes drive from one another..

Fred Meyer in Newberg sales handguns too. Glocks, Rugers, SW, etc

Better selection than Walmart.

My fred meyers is sandy has nothing for guns and this is a hill billy town WTF

 

[Trick]

The stores that carry them are limited, but I suspect Sandy will be on the list down the road due to their location. They will special order just about anything you want within current federal guidelines and availability at the FFL stores. Though their prices seem mid-range to me they don't appear to be exploiting the recent events to jack up the prices on everything.

I'm still a little pissed. I can't imagine even with the ridiculous high demand how there aren't ARs flooding out of manufacturers.
There are a butt load of different AR parts manf that are on a goldmine that may in some ways be drying up with a AWB on the horizon. They should be working around the clock to get all the parts/rifles out to stores that they can. It shouldn't take months for them to restock.

I don't get it.

Sandy Hook was 12/14. This is 12/30. There's Christmas in there as well. How much do you think they could have produced and shipped in that time?

A single colt M4 on the wall @ The Marksman (Puyallup) today for $1,900..

 

[clearconscience]

Saw about 4 ARs at northwest armory on mcloughlin the other day ranging from $3000-$5000

Great deal. I bought all four. Then i removed my head from my ****

 

[Blue Devil PA]

As I posted in "great Deals" on this forum. Saw 3 Colt LE6920 at Walmart in Puyallup. They have a call list that they notify, but it is first come first serve. Sales person said they are still getting ARs delivered by FEDEX but there is no pattern.
PS. All three were gone before I left the building.
Happy hunting
