I doubt he will sell them at those prices, but good for him if he does and sorry for the person that pays.

I was at the show today. Longest line I have stood in for a gun show. When we left at 11:00 there was a decent line waiting to get in.
I picked up one of Model 1 Sales complete upper kits (everything you need for an AR minus the stripped lower) for $685 out the door. Last week I picked up a stripped lower for $95. So even in the crazy times I will have an AR for under $800.

BIL and I got there at about 0945 and the line was around the back, but still only took about 10 minutes to get in. I didn't get anything today, but he found a soft double rifle case with good pockets.

your BIL has a Double Rifle! What type, caliber, etc? I've had a jones for one since the last of the chicks left the nest. My Bride insists that I'm not spending "enough money to buy me a new car!" on another rifle.

I believe the aforementioned BIL bought a case that will hold 2 rifles.

One of those EBRs that fire semi and automatic boolits.

Actually, he bought a Colt LE6920MP-B. I got my LE6920MP-R back in June. He's thinking about a shotgun and I'm trying to talk him into doing 3-gun with me. I haven't done it yet myself, so if he gets one we might just get out there our first time together and he could carry all his in this one bag.

Plenty of price gougers at the show today. M&P Shield - $750. Ruger 10/22 with tapco stock - $599. XDS - $679.

No one was forced to buy right?

I can pay $3.19 for regular unleaded at the nearest gas station.

Instead, I go to a different station and pay $2.96.

There's a point here...

Nope. In fact it seemed as if some dealers weren't real interested in selling. I heard a customer ask to see a gun and the guy behind the table said show me the money. He told the customer he wasn't interested in undoing the security cable unless the guy had cash in hand and was ready to buy. This is the same guy that wanted $600 for a 10/22.

4 weeks ago this same guy was begging people to hold a gun and see how it feels. Really nice guy back then. Now he's just a jerk.

Sigh....

This http://www.searcyent.com/classic.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; is the one I've been daydreaming/mooning/pining/drooling over. It's simple and beautiful. My Bride thinks I'm pathetic....

Did anybody make it out to the saxet gun show this past weekend in Austin? How were things

Just saw a website where 115gr Rem UMC 9mm was $35/50 and 180gr Rem UMC 10mm was $30/50.

Never thought I'd see the day that 10mm is cheaper than 9mm.

Sure, if people are dumb enough to buy it.

Last week, I bought a box Federal 9mm FMJ's for practice at my nearest Walmart of $12.50 or so. It was definitely $12, but for certain I don't recall if it plus .50 or even...

There are no price gougers, just fools who are parted with their money - don't be one whoever you are...

...and for clarity sake, my comment regarding fools and money was rhetorical...

I didn't look to see if this has already been listed, but alamoammo.com is selling Remington UMC 9mm 115gr for $34.95. I laughed so hard when I saw that, I had to post it here. The good news is that they offer a discount of $.69 per box if you buy 20.
Unbelievable!

$1,200 for a Chinese SKS ... http://www.texasguntrader.com/index.php?a=2&b=294818" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

That's not a bad price for 4 of them.....

What are people thinking. I offered him $75.00 just to upset him.
