    buying an AR 15- now or wait?

    so heres the thing. ive always wanted to make a AR, just been waiting on saving the money.

    do you think i should just take some savings out to put one togther now, before obama is elected?
    my reasoning is after he is elected people will rush to buy up guns because he is a pretty big anti gunner thinking he will ban stuff further.
    at the very least i could get a lower, and just buy the upper at a later date.

    suggestions? do you think an AR lower will be the same price after the elections, SHOULD obama be elected?

    At least get a stripped lower now.
    Lord, make my hand fast and accurate.
    Let my aim be true and my hand faster
    than those who would seek to destroy me.
    Grant me victory over my foes and those who wish to do harm to me and mine.
    Let not my last thought be 'If I only had my gun."
    And Lord, if today is truly the day you call me home, let me die in an empty pile of brass.

      I've ordered mine already.

          When it comes to guns, never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.

          Buy now, Operators are standing by.

              BUY NOW! Get a couple of stripped lowers as the above others have said.
              Prices will be going up if the election goes the wrong way, even without any new laws passed.

                as long as it does not put you in financial hardship I say go for it
                these can be tough times so make sure your not shooting yourself in the foot

                  BUY NOW!!!

                  From what I'v heard, many AR makers seem to have backlogs on certain parts like barrels, bolts, etc. With the elections so close, AR's can't get any cheaper.

                    yea im just a young mechanic, so my income isnt too high, and im trying to pay off student loans from bmw training, and loans on tools and my car.

                    however i can get some money together for this AR build if i try. thanks for the advice, ill go down and get a lower paper work started.

                    should i just drop down and get the extras off rifle gear now as well?

                      if you want to get the extras go for it. if not just shop around. you've got plenty of time.

                        Buy now. The more guns citizens have, the harder it will be for the government to come and confiscate them, when the time comes.

                            If you can swing it, get the ball rolling on a stripped lower. I just pulled the trigger on a Stag lower last week. I cant afford to build it right away but at least I will be ahead of the crowd if another banning of firearms comes down the pipe.

                              How many?

                              I think that depends on how this whole "receiver as other" on the 4473s pan out. If we can build AR pistols, I'd like to grab 3 more frames.
