Lots of specific reasons to point to and every one of them can be overcome with mass production methods, but they all lead to market demand.Īnother example is look at USPSA competition. 223 is just a lot cheaper and more available than M1A/M14 compatible ammo. Of course ammo cost is a factor in there somewhere too and. They also tend to gravitate to the newer "more technologically advanced" designs. Most shooters are "casual shooters" and they also tend to be younger these days. But it's mostly the number of units being sold is far less than the AR platform. Steel is much cheaper to buy, but it costs far more to machine steel in both cutter life and machine time. The amount of machining and the fact that the M1A/M14 is all steel does play a role too. The biggest reason for the price point is simple market demand. Comes with one 20 round parkerized magazine.I have a background in manufacturing, working in machine shops large and small. Turrets have mushy clicks but the reticle is perfect and the glass is clear. Scope is in good condition although rings have high edge wear. Receiver is in excellent condition, as it was manufactured more recently. There is high edge wear and some light age freckling around the gas piston. Surplus equipment is in expected condition with some areas of discoloration and scuffing. CONDITION: This gun is in very fine condition but has seen light use. A selector switch for automatic fire is present but non-operable and only for aesthetics. Scope is equipped with Butler Creek scope covers.
