That's the same price I paid OTD for mine back in September 2011 so prices don't seem to have changed too much. They weren't rare but were a bit hard to come by back then.Just picked one up today from a LGS for $535. It was their Magpul version that came with MOE stock, MOE grip, and MBUS front and rear flip up sights and a MOE cheek riser. Not a bad deal. It was the same price at the same place about 4 months ago and I've been wanting one for a while.
