A listener to our radio show obviously remembers me sharing the story
of my gun purchases the weekend before the 2008 election and thought
that I might be interested in what happened here locally to the maker of
my AR-15.
The Saturday before the 2008 POTUS election I attended a gun
show in Mesa, Az with my sons and a couple of friends. From my
perspective I wanted to get 3 AR-15 Lowers since I suspected that in a
few days they would be much more expensive. And this is exactly what
happened. What cost me $105 each would skyrocket to almost $300 in less
than a week... if you could even get them (how's the supply now?).
American Spirit Arms were new to gun manufacturing as I remember. This was 4 years ago but I'm pretty sure I was told that they made precision medical/surgical
equipment and discovered that some downloaded files and a block of
steel would put them in the gun business if they could get all of the
government permission slips. They did and now are a quality gun
manufacturer with experience in precision milling.
