Well as far as these AR manufacturers like 2A in Boise, I can say I’m over it. By that I mean that these boutique AR companies are not competitive in today’s market. Nobody wants to spend $2000 for an AR anymore. You can buy 2 or 3 Colts, bushmasters etc for that price if you look for good deals.

The link to the geyser article is broken, looks like they may have pulled the article.

Looking for something try Knob Creek Machine Gun shoot and gun show this weekend Oct 12-14 West Point KY. Use to be a part of FT Knox and has a very large showing like a gun flea market and other things as well.
