AR Prices

I have an RRA which has been great.

You sure beat the heck out of Olympic Arms don't you! Why? Do you have first hand information to make these claims? I have had both Oly and Colt over a great number of years and Oly beats hands down anything about a Colt. Oly has had military contracts as well as a large number of LEO contracts. The fit, finish, reliability and accuracy on the Oly are far better than the Colt. Pay for the name with Colt.

I'm not trying to start a fight or anything like that but it is hard to believe that there could be such a difference in how Oly is looked at between the two of us. I have had 15 of the Oly ARs in every conceivable configuration and all have been perfect. The service is outstanding also. With that said, I will never buy another Oly AR but only because they folded to the political pressure and will not sell so much as sell a role pin to any Californian. That is BS!!!

To answer the original question, $1200.00 is a good price.

That is a good price and prices for ARs and AKs finally are coming down (and quite rapidly) now that the Obama Assault Rifle scare (a creation of the gun dealers to start a sales panic, in my opinion, that never had any basis in fact) has faded.

$1,200 is a good price. I have am excellent pre-ban mid 1960s Colt AR15 SP1 that I paid $1,000 for a few years ago. I bought it both as a collector and a shooter (and a nostalgic reminder of when I actually carried an M16 in my military youth).

Except for the collector side, there are many closes (like Bushmaster) that are as good or better than the original Colts.

I like having "the real deal," though

The "Obama Assault Rifle Ban" came from his own website, originally titled "change.gov which appeared election night evening before the polls even came in. In his "crime and law enforcement" section, he listed his team's plan to re-enact the assault weapon ban.

Urban Policy | Change.gov: The Obama-Biden Transition Team

It's down in the final item on the crime and law enforcement section, citing he and Biden's desire to:

Address Gun Violence in Cities: Obama and Biden would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent.
