Can someone, anyone explain to me why a plain jane 16" 5.56 upper cost less than a 10.5'" upper using all the same parts or apples to apples for a fair comparison?

:frust:

Supply probably. They sell a million 16 inch barrels to only 50k 10 inch barrels.
I can't say for certain. Mere speculation.

Why is 12 GA ammo (the biggest) cheaper than all the smaller GA?
Why is .380 more than 9mm?

Maybe beacasue of the extra "custom" parts that pistols require, ie shorter gas tube and barrel and what not. Usually things like these require different setups then the standard parts, new setups = time = money. Maybe they pass the costs onto us.
