AR's come in many different brands, models, and configurations. They are among the most sought after firearms these days as news of banning "assault" style weapons and high capacity magazines made the news back in December.
Right now there is next to nothing available. Well, not at any realistic prices.
Entry level guns before the big price increases could be had for about $600. Well equipped models go for $1000 and up.
Currently, at the last 3 Gun Shows I've attended, entry level guns are up near $1400, and the prices for nicer stuff just goes up from there.
Ammo that was .32 cents a round before the big scare is up near $1.00 per round, if you can find it.
High capacity magazines that could be bought for about $10 each are $35 and up.
Certainly not the best time to invest in an AR. I'm pretty certain things will settle down some in the next few months, and prices will come back down as well.
I build my own guns here, and currently there are no parts available anyplace. Stripped lower receivers went from $100-150 to $400-450. Can't find any lower parts kits, bolt/carrier groups, or any complete uppers anyplace, at any price.
What basically happened is that the dealers/manufacturers sold 3 years worth of inventory in 3 weeks, now everyone is backordered for many months for just about everything. What is still out there is priced so unreasonably high, it's not worth getting....IMHO.....Cliff
