The scarcity, believe it or not is due to the 1986 Firearms Owner's Protection Act which had a poison pill put in at the last minute by the anti-gunners that ended production of full-auto weapons for private ownership. There was little immediate effect, but 20 years of demand, coupled with people buying them for investments have run the prices through the roof. An M-16 lower that was less than $500 in 1986 is now worth about $12,000, just because of the law, some paperwork, two extra parts, and some machining.
Slowly but surely, the anti-gunners are driving firearms out of our reach. Once gone, they are never coming back. As they intended.
