EAA price increase of dramatic proportion!

[Intercooler]

   Lots of pissed people and rightfully so. I am because my $170 barrel I just sold is $321 now! Could have asked more now. Conversions are much more and some aren't offered anymore.  On a positive I made pistol and magazine purchases before they go there

Everything is going up. Cost passed onto consumer. Wait till Obozo Care kicks in. Actually employers already are making their employees part time,29.5 hours. Worse yet to come.

What barrel is this?? $321 is a lot for just a barrel....

It could be a mistake on their site.But it's there.

All 6" barrels.

Yeah...That is more than the cost of a Bar-sto barrel of similar length.  Sounds like there is an opportunity for a boutique/niche barrel maker here to under-cut them.

When I talked to them on the phone the other day I was told "We have kept our prices the same for over 10 years. To stay in business we had to adjust for inflation eventually."

I guess they're right. The Witness I bought a few months back was $475, the same price as the first Witness I bought 11 years ago.

That's what's going to hang them too. Doing it 5 or 10 percent at a time nobody really notices (our 10mm ammo suppliers) but not 40-50 percent in one increase. People are now talking over other options.

You might see increases across the board on US made firearms as Obozo Care go's into effect.Companys with 50 or more workers will have to pass the costs.Just saying.

I WAS interested in a Witness, but that much price increase, I will purchase elsewhere. That is just unjustified IMO. No other manufacturer has that much price increase.

   The 4.75" barrel went up to $186 which isn't far off a Glock barrel of equal quality (I think) in price. How much is a 6" Glock barrel? EAA upping that one to $321 is for sure a deal breaker there. The mags are still one for $40, two for $50 and three for $75. That's on par with other MFG's. As for the conversion kits the Long Slide for $589 is high versus others for sure even with the good sight. If you go down to the Standard Long Slide for $389 it's about equal to the upper you get from Glock for $360.
   I don't see any price changes yet on complete pistols, although as an example my Match I bought for $499 a few years back is now a $575 pistol. Still a really great bang for the buck all metal pistol. My two Limiteds that go for $1000 each on the right deal is an outstanding value with what you get versus others.


   Sucks they did a big hit all at once. Less kits and more pistols will be sold now how I see it. The 6" barrels will collect dust waiting for someone to spend for those!

Checking around, you'll find original Glock barrels for $130-$150 and the 6" Glock 20 10mm barrel is about $165-$180. Aftermarket will around $100-$250. I even found a HK USP barrels for $135 on my USP compact in 357 SIG and a USP .45 Tactical threaded barrel for $198, both OEM. So comparing the EAA pricing, it's up there compared to bigger brands.
