Re: who's running the best 4th of july sales on AR's?
KSwift,
Everyone expects fourth of july sales. Maybe you own a gunshop, and are very well off, but most people expect, and retails oblige with a sale on something (may or may not be what consumers really want).
Armalite always has a 4th of July sale, with substantial markdown on complete firearms and firearm accessoies.
A number of other stores will (fulton-armory, creedmoor sports, etc) also offer 10% off and or free shipping on most items.
With the current demand out there for anything firearm related, profit margins are very healthy...
Oh, and if my local retailer wants my buisness, they need to stop being asses and learn how to price things to sell (for instance, do not try to sell used guns for more than the price of new guns).
This is not meant as an attack on you, only to point out that your assumptions are not borne out in many cases.
