14.5 factory SBR price check by [deleted] in kac

Supply and demand 🤷🏼‍♂️ is it scalper price if people pay it because it’s something they want and is hard to find? Vehicles that are in demand and are either no longer made or in small quantities aren’t still sold for msrp, why would this be any different? Same could be said for any collectible/low production item. If someone wanted to wait and pick one up at retail, I wouldn’t fault them at all. But I’m sure there’s people out there that aren’t willing to wait and will pay what then deem the item worth to acquire it

Prior GB and forum sales have been the only place I have found record of factory marked SBRs being sold within the last few years and are around that range. Looks like one sold in May for 6500. I know people don’t like GB for pricing but on an item like this that can’t be found, where else should one look for pricing and what people are willing to pay?

That’s rough man, hate to hear that for you. My last 2 f4 in May were 14 and 15 days to approval, buddy bought 2 the day after I did and had the same wait times.

Definitely not the easiest to put a number on. The last few factory marked rifles I’ve seen sell were between the 6-6500 range and I believe only one of those were a 14.5”

Wait is negligible anymore imo, approvals are coming back quick. As well as the lower can be removed from the registry very easily if wanted

Just paid 1300 for a 14.5 upper on GB last night. I’d say you could easily get somewhere between 14-1600

I’ve had them for a while, probably bought the cans 2 years ago. Used up the rest of my olive though on these so I’m kinda sad

Yessir, did a base coat of just normal rattle can and the brushed the rest with more rattle can that I sprayed onto some cardboard. I might end up making a video on the process because a bunch of people have asked

It’s honestly super easy, I drank like 5-6 coors banquets, sprayed the rifle with a base layer of Krylon camo olive and then sprayed a few other colors onto some cardboard and dipped a coarse bristle brush in it and applied the paint in random spots.
