I completely understand the not wanting to “overpay”, or feel extorted, but like
@Sextus pointed out supply & demand coupled with the “how badly do you want it” dictates your own “personal price”…something is only worth what someone will pay for it…that said I recently paid nearly quadruple original MSRP for a rifle that I really wanted, and that’s out of production…do I wish I’d grabbed one at Knob Creek 5 yrs ago for less than MSRP? HELL YES! Am I happy to now have and shoot the rifle? HELL YES! In my unsolicited opinion, life is too short to deprive yourself a serious want for some folding paper that you can afford to spend. I mean it’s gonna get spent on something, right? As long as the needs of you and your family are covered the rest is best spent making y’all happy. (All of that said, I’ve never wanted a specific charging handle badly enough to spend hundreds on it, and I HATE the MR762/417 rifle🤷🏻♂️). Hope you can find your happy at an affordable rate 😁👏🏻👊🏻🖖🏻
