just to solve my curiosity... if GAP rifles are so accurate/good...why are there always so many for sale? Is it just a "trading up" issue, or is there something I'm missing? From what I've seen here, it seems like they shoot well enough, but there are always quite a few in the classifieds for sale.

Re: GAP's for sale?
I'm going over buying another rifle... I've never owned anything on that level, and just wondering if money is better spent going down a different path...
the one thing I am sick and tired of, is buying an off the shelf rifle, only to find out 1.5 MOA is the best it will shoot after spending 5 months and hundreds of dollars on ammo.
last gun I bought was an LTR, which shot great with one particular load, but not worth a shit with everything else. problem was, I don't handload, and that one particular load was not cheap.

Re: GAP's for sale?
Don't read too much into it. Lots of reasons people sell rifles. Not just GAPs. As mentioned the economy has hit people hard and they need money. Also you get a fair share of people who just NEED another custom rifle and then get it in and use it a couple of times and then 6 months later they see something else they NEED.
The amount of GAP rifles for sale has nothing to do with the quality or accuracy of the product as they are some of the most accurate rifles available. No real "trade up" to go to in my opinion.

Re: GAP's for sale?
I see lots of cars for sale. I see lots of the best Bass Boats for sale as well. It means nothing except when the GAPs come up they torture me because dont have funds to purchase them all.

Re: GAP's for sale?
You will also see optics go through selling cycles on the forum about 3 months ago it was USO's then there were alot of NF F1's for a while.
My guess has always been that one person posts it for sale then other guys go "Hey I can get how much money for my XXXX then you see 3,4, 7 for sale at a time.
Also alot of guys here are swapping around perfectly good stuff.

Re: GAP's for sale?
check other gun sites, prolly not nearly the amount of GAPs for sell on them. The reason is the group of guys on this site know how valuable a gun a GAP built rifle is, so why not sell it to guys that appreciate it and understand its price tag? If one was to list one on other sites theyd get replies like "gee wilickers, that der rifle is 3,000 dollars? whats it made of, pure gold, my SKS with countersniper is just as effective"
as to why they are being sold, as stated these days some guys need the money more than the rifle to support their families, and they can get a substantial amount for their GAP, and they are worth every penny of it.
dipshit fucktards on barfcom would never spend their money on anything outside of us Cavalry in the mall

Here's a question for you Kyle, in the hopes of answering your own question.
How many used Chevy's, Toyota's, and Winnebago's would you expect to see at the average Ferrari dealership? How about a Ferrari website? How about even, a "high-quality and performance minded vehicle" website?
Care to guess?
Sorta has something to do with demographics. Compare that "whole-bunch for sale" with the other tangent of "how many are owned" and decide for yourself.
Just a thought.

Re: VARIOUS GAP RIFLES for sale?
Might also be because GA Precision is one of the largest custom rifle building shops in the world and they have built a shit ton of rifles and there are lots of them out there. Sure as hell doent mean they arent put together right. I've got six different rifles smithed by four different guys who work there and they are all hammers and put together as well as anything I've ever seen.

Re: VARIOUS GAP RIFLES for sale?
I'd like to throw in a few other points: Anything for sale is only worth what someone is actually willing to pay you, not what your asking, it appears the GAP's rifles do well on holding their value. As the economy turns down (continues to turn down)people sell those items that have held their value first (history) in order to meet financial demands ( or those things that have increased in value). People die, people can no longer shoot for what ever reason, people get divorced and need to "split assets", etc.. I would expect a lot of "high dollar" optics to to come on the market next, for the above reasons-It will be a buyers market as obama continues his program of economic destruction in the U.S.. And I actually hope I am wrong.

Come on man. . I have to hear this crap everywhere. The biggest side perk of this forum aside from the non-stop functional info is that I don't have to read these same tired political injectures constantly.
As far as the OP, a lot of it is the fact that custom rifles = frozen capital, just like the other members suggested. And a lot is people just want to try something different.

Re: VARIOUS GAP RIFLES for sale?
I will say this about GA Precision - yes, they are that good of a rifle. If you ever felt the action and shot them you would know the difference in a minute. That being said, there are lots of gunsmiths that make that level of precision on this site. And, I seem to making my ways around the site smiths. I have two GAP's, working on a Underground Skunkworks Perseus, and Short Action Customs is re-working a Remmie 223 bolt for me now.
I came to this site a couple of years ago with limited knowledge on Precision rifles but over time I found out what rifles and smiths are the top of their field and started saving money to buy the rifles. It is an addiction. And, I can see why some guys sell their rifles to move onto something else. Once you start on this road it is like Lay's Potato Chips - you can't just have one.

Re: VARIOUS GAP RIFLES for sale?
Politics aside, a lot can change in ones financial situation in the 4-8 month interim between ordering a rifle and delivery. The above poster who mentioned tied up capital is also correct. I have two GAP target rifles and sometimes can't help but think about the $7000 sitting there waiting to become an AW, or a S&B, or several house payments or...whatever. AG

Re: VARIOUS GAP RIFLES for sale?
Maybe because there are so many GAP's for sale is a testimony that it is one of the most desireable, sold custom built rifles out there being purchased. GAP is not the only excellent custom rifles out there and George will probably agree. Terry Cross with KMW rifles is a hell of a builder but doesn't sell any rifles without his patented stock anymore. Surgeon is probably the front runner in my opinion. If you can get a GAP built rifle with a surgeon action which will cost you a little less than a full build surgeon then you have a life long shooting stick imo.

Re: VARIOUS GAP RIFLES for sale?
Look at how fast Gaps sell and how much the guys are getting for them. That is a huge testament to their customer service, quality and durability. Try buying a new car, driving the piss out of it and then selling for damn near what you paid for it five years later!!!
The way they hold their value I think I might put all my retirement funds into buyingGaps!!!

Re: VARIOUS GAP RIFLES for sale?
I just sold my Gladius here. Had absolutely nothing to do with wether or not I liked it or if it was a quality piece.
Awesome rifle, great build......simple truth, I needed to thin the herd and I know the GAP name gets me the highest resale and the quickest sale.
I'll buy another without a doubt.

Re: VARIOUS GAP RIFLES for sale?
I am pretty happy about it. That is how I have gotten mine : )
They hold their value pretty well and are in high demand. If I needed cash in a hurry, I would sell mine... then hopefully pick up another when I could.
Something like that is probably why you are seeing it OP.

Re: GAP's for sale?
As others have posted, most of the sales are because of the economy or that people just want to try out something else instead of what they have now. With the resale of GAP's, you don't lose that much. If you do buy a used GAP or anything else, make sure the barrel is not shot out. A buddy of mine just got a 7wsm from someone a couple of months ago that was supposed to be shooting 2-3in groups out to 500 with ease. After he bought and shot it a couple of times, it would not group worth piss. Found out the barrel is shot out and there is erosion about 3-4 inchs up in the barrel. Make sure you buy from someone reputable.
