Vegas gun show report
Went to the Ahern show today. Attendance seemed thin. Maybe the show is too close to Christmas and New Year. Gun tables seemed less than last time. Gun prices seemed high to me, especially on used guns compared with what I saw in Texas recently. Some prices were about market, but others were nuts, I mean, who sells Caniks at more than MSRP.
S&W 66-1 with 2 speedloaders. Nice condition, $725
CZ P-10S, $600 (joke of the day, I think)
Sig 1911 Target, used, $875
Glock 34, used, $450.
S&W FPC, new, $650
S&W Response, new, $750
S&W 686 4", marked for Alameda Police, nice shape, $895
S&W Shield Plus, new, $550. Not sure if it was the optics ready variant. If so, that's MSRP. If not, it's a rip off.
Semi-auto pistols with barrels longer than 4" seem hard to move.
Milsurps prices were nuts.
Argy Mauser 1891, oddly polished in places, $545
Albanian SKS, $900
Mosin 91/30, refurb, not a special year, $450
M1 Garand, described as original 1943 all matching, in an aftermarket laminate stock, reduced to $2k. (Straight face award)
Chinese SKS rifles in cosmo, $565 to $785
Enfield No4 Mk1, FTR 43 (I think), Turkish provenance, $550. Forgot to check if the bolt matched.
US Model of 1917 rifle, stock sanded to death, $900
US Model 1903A3 rifle, replacement stock IMHO, $1100.
Arisaka Type 38 carbine, intact mum, Nagoya arsenal, $1050

The Albanian SKS would be interesting.
But not for that $$$

You did not mention the barrel length
of the 66-1...but if it was a 2.5 inch (which I doubt)
that would have been a go.

It was a four inch, IIRC.

This is life at the end of the supply line. They know they have you by the short hairs. Gunstores outside the Vegas valley are 70 miles or more away. After that the next sizeable town in the state with gun stores is 200 miles away. There are closer places in AZ and UT, but then you have to get handguns shipped, sometimes rifles too, depending on store policy.

At those prices I would double my money. I would fold it over and put it back in my pocket.
