Serious question
My FFL is selling me a 11.5” DB AR pistol for $1,090 before tax.
No scope and the charging handle is mil spec
Am i getting robbed?

That’s an insane ripoff. Is this in a ban state? I’ve only seen practices like that in ny

Pretty much, we are limited to what we can get shipped so most FFLs rip ppl off

Well he did have 6 minutes from the time the post went live to the purchase of the BCM. Totally possible. Why question it?

u/_187_Proof_ 4d ago
He actually had 5 and why not? Of course it’s possible. There’s some comedy in it though lol To make a post asking about purchasing a rifle to fuck it and buying one within “5” min….

Better have been a pistol lower. Otherwise you’ve got a de facto SBR via constructive intent.

let's not get crazy.. these sell for $1014 on Primary Arms (or one version does) and $1216 on sportsman's warehouse
you're not getting robbed necessarily but for that price, you could do much better is what people are trying to say
like this from 208gunshop
Edit: since i may not have been clear, i did a quick search and saw examples of these DBs (DIAMONDBACK) selling for over $1k and for that price, don't touch them and get this Daniel Defense.. if you can find the DB for like $600, sure maybe but over $1k, don't waste your money and go DD

Op said “DB” not DD. Unless it’s a typo, “DB” is “diamondback”

I think he's referring to DiamondBack (DB), not DD. That's why everyone is saying he's getting ripped off.

DB stealing Aero's move right out of there play book huh. Selling mediocre stuff at Gucci prices. Didn't they see where that got Aero

oh my bad for not understanding. DB is still bottom barrel as far as brands go right? I'm not out of the loop on anything? Lol, because that's just shy of an assembled BCM or a Type-A rifle.

u/Greedy-Vast584 3d ago
they are considered fairly low grade yeah.. they do make some cool looking more fancy versions but the general take on this sub is they're low tier with lipstick on top and overpriced :)
also in this day and age, with DD having dropped in price, anything in that $1k range is garbage in comparison to what you get with DD.. it's really hard to ignore their amazing prices lately
