Gun show…what to say..well, lets hit the ’ssocial barometer’ signals…<\/p>\n

There was no ammo in large quantity to be had. A box of .223 here, a box of .45 there. I saw no table with more than three boxes of the same caliber on it.<\/p>\n

If there was any AR that was less than $1200, I didnt see it.<\/p>\n

I did see, however, an AK underfolder for..hang onto your hernia belt….$3000. Or, put another way, 1.5 DSA FALs, 3 PTR-91s, or a genuine Steyr AUG would all cost about the same. Out-freaking-rageous.<\/p>\n

Only a few AR mags. Almost all were aftermarket and going for $20-30. I did find a guy selling genuine Colt (and one marked Armalite\/Colt) 20-rd mags for $15 ea. along with a few of the infrequently seen 4-mag pouches.<\/p>\n

Come to think of it, handguns were a bit sketchy too. Alot of overpriced, 2nd gen Glocks for $500. I can buy used 2nd gen Glocks for $360~ all day long so these guys were definitely in fantasy land.<\/p>\n

Did I see anything I wanted? I saw a Ruger SP101 in 9mm that was kinda cute. Also a Steyr SPP<\/a> with a buncha mags for $900. Not an Uzi, like I wanted, but still kinda cool.<\/p>\n

All in all, the gun show demonstrated that folks are holding onto their money, holding onto their guns and that everyone seems to be adopting a wait-n-see attitude on things as the increase their ammo and mag stashes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
