Weekly Update 2016-12-06

A few new products this week.

AK-47

Price: (currently unavailable)

We haven't had an AK in stock for a long, long time - well over a year, in fact. The reason - prices.

AKs are a very cyclical market.

Most these days are imported from Serbia and Romaina, where they are built from communist-era kits. They come in enormous quantities, usually once or twice a year, and while they are there, wholesale prices dip to as low as $450, with the corresponding Internet prices hovering just above $500 (plus shipping and transfer).

And after the shipment is sold out, the wholesale prices would go up dramatically - to just under $600, with retail prices to match.

During these periods we would typically not have any AK-47s in stock. Of course, we special-order them for people who ask, but I am loath to have a rifle in stock for which I paid $600 when the current street price on it drops to $550.

Last week, however, I was able to grab a shipment of new Century RAS47s for a lot cheaper than usual, so we can offer them for under $600 again.

These are Century part # RI2403-N, the current lowest internet price on them is $639 - before shipping and transfer - and the regular wholesale is $587.

We only have 5 in stock, and this deal is not likely to repeat - so hurry!

Ruger receivers

(Please note - the picture is stock, I have not yet seen them myself, so I am not sure what the actual markings are).

Price: (currently unavailable)

We have gotten 30 Ruger branded receivers in stock. These are new-new-new - Ruger have just started shipping these, so they are the first in Seattle area. Pair them with Ruger's MSR Elite 452 trigger ((currently unavailable)) for a perfect rifle.

Armscor 1911s

We have gotten one Armscor 1911 Ultra in 10mm.

Price: (currently unavailable)

Here are the maiden 25 rounds of Armscor 10mm from mine at 25 yards.

This is technically a 5" group of 25, but if you ignore the first round which I by mistake fired without cleaning the barrel from its factory grease, it becomes a 3.7" group of 24 shots. I call this not bad.

In general, Armscor makes excellent 1911s at prices that are more or less impossible to beat. We have quite a few in stock - pay particular attention to prices on GI and Tactical models.
