Not a single AR 15… Interesting.
Well yeah, when AR’s are competing against 10/22’s, of course they’re gonna lose every time.
$200 gun vs $600+ gun.
Or fantastic plastic. More interesting.
Because there is no single AR15. There is a hundred manufacturers that don’t rise above their competitors. Sig and Colt have strong brand names behind their 1911s.
Fair enough. They should also include ranking based on category of guns (pump shotguns, lever action, double barrel, AR15 pattern, etc.)
Sig also did the buy one get one free thing last year, wonder how many they sold under that promotion.
This list speaks more about GunBrokers customer base than about firearm sales. When Citori and Ruger No. 1 are your top sellers in any category I don’t think your data reveals an industry trend.
I think the answer to that is in your comment. There isn’t a single AR15, there’re thousands of them with no one brand having a clear dominance.
I have a lot of them, not one was purchased as a complete rifle.
I give up. Comments are super broken.
Apologies. We’re on it.
Sorry to whomever Sc is, it switched my name mid post and now I cant delete it.
What?!!! OMG
You can buy guns on the interwebz?
Does little mikey know about this?
Sarc off for now
neat, I can get the email address of random dudes thanks to broken comment system! way to go…
remind me never to use a real email addy on here again
It is time to shut off the comments until fixed. What if someone accidentally posts as someone else, and posts something a bit on the edge, a bit inflammatory, and that person ends up on trial for a defensive shooting, and the prosecution brings out a post that wasn’t written by the defendant, but has his/her name/email attached to it.
It isn’t a good situation.

no one in their right mind would buy an AR off gunbroker. I imagine 10/22’s are almost ALWAYS on the list.

I own none of those firearms–none.
Just another reminder that nothing on the interwebs is private. Sorry space.
I think it is important to consider what a person might use gunbroker for. It is extremely easy to find and buy a Glock 19 or Ruger LCR at the LGS. A Colt Python or Sig 1911 may require a more specialized search over a large area, especially to arrive at a reasonable price. This data should be viewed in context rather than as some kind if proxy for the market as a whole.
Best Fudd Guns of 2014
I guess I contributed to the semi-auto pistol category with my SIG 1911 TACOPS purchase…
Did you get a free 1911-22 with it?
Lots of deals on Gunbroker. I’m heading there now…
What’s interesting is that there are two Mossberg shotties in there, but not a single Remington. I think the old debate has just got a final answer 🙂
Look closer. The 870 is the best selling of the used guns.
>Colt Pythons are the best selling used revolver
bullshit
The benefit of finding a really good price on a handgun, or especially something that is not available locally, was ruined in my local market by the dealers now charging $75 to do a transfer. Sure, they have to make a dime, but when they can’t get what I want, and the internet prices are well under MSRP, that tacked on service charge is a deal killer. As a result, I haven’t used the internet to buy a firearm for about six or seven years. Which kinda sucks.
