    I agree. Production costs have to prevent them from going too much lower. I work for a manufacturer, generally MSRP is about double production cost. So assume a production cost of even as low as $300-$400, by the time you add shipping and distributor markup, I can't see them going much lower.

    For those prices. it's even hard to put together a parts gun.

    They cant get much cheaper than they are now. You might want to pick up several extra receivers for when the prices skyrocket again
