Frequently Asked Questions

What is currently the most returned or traded-in firearm?

The AR-15 platform, encompassing AR pistols, carbines, and full-sized rifles, has become the most returned firearm. This trend is significantly impacting the inventory at gun shops like Blue Steel Guns & Ammo.

Why are AR-15s being returned at such a high rate?

Two main reasons are cited: fear of potential future legislative bans under the current administration, and owners who purchased AR-15s during the 2019-2020 'panic buying' period and are now looking to sell them.

Is the high return rate of AR-15s due to them being poor quality firearms?

No, the high return rate is primarily attributed to the sheer volume of AR-15s sold. Just as Glocks were previously the most returned because they were the most sold, the AR-15's immense popularity naturally leads to a higher presence in trade-ins.

How does the AR-15 compare to 'modern military surplus' firearms?

The AR-15 is considered the 'modern military surplus gun' because it has been mass-produced at a low cost and sold in massive quantities. This high volume of production and sales makes it the most common item to appear on the secondary market.
