Went to the Kalispell gun show today. I saw no AR on dealers tables for less than $2k. That doesn’t mean any of them were selling at that price, as evidenced by the fact that the ARs were still there…but thats what they were asking. No AK’s for less than $1k. And even SKS rifles were up in the stratosphere. There was one lone PTR-91 for $2100. Cheapest AR mags were about $30 ea. I saw absolutely nothing I would want to spend money on.

Cool part was that I found a little gun/preparedness shop on my way back. Last time I was in Kalispell, there was a new gun shop being set up. That was six months ago so I figured I’d go see what it was like. To my delight, it was a small gun shop with a large emphasis on preparedness…they had #10 cans from MountainHouse, AlpineAire, etc, first aid supplies, Gamma Seal lids, buckets, books, etc, etc, etc. Prices were good on some stuff, not so good on others. The Mountain House cans were at a pretty good price, though. If youre up in that neck of the woods, it’s Big Bear Firepower 115 Main St., Kalispell.
