Maybe…sometimes, used ….they are ‘affordable’ if you get a distress sale…but mostly out of the price range of most people new or used when its considered good quality AR’s can be had for less.

You priced them lately, new?

CZ-USA CZ BREN 2 MS 5.56X45 14″ .223 REM/5.56 AR PISTOL, $1,674.99 at PSA.

Part of the reason such guns cost so much now is because ‘influencers’ sources keep saying how affordable they are thus setting ‘norms’. If ‘influencers’ sources didn’t keep pushing higher priced firearms and ‘name recognition’ to drive the market company’s would be bound by what the market would bear for a wider range of people who could afford the products.

For example, look at Apple phones…over half the cost is the name ‘Apple’….for a phone that’s actually made in China, and with engineering/development and marketed costs, that are less than 1/4 of what they sell the phone for …and ‘influencer’ sources have people go nuts over them over the ‘color’ when a new version comes out at an even higher price and the idiots go ‘thats affordable’.
