Gun Show LOL's!!

[Garman]

Went to a gun show at the WNC Ag center here in North Carolina....OMG....the prices they were asking for ammo and magazines were insane!! I saw Ruger BX-25 mags for $75.00 and I saw some AR style rifles for around $2500!!! The only items I ended up purchasing were two boxes of 50 Aguila 22LR hollow points for $4.50 a box. No one there had any bulk 22 LR what so ever. That place was packed though!!

Just came from one here in Rochester. Same deal. I couldn't believe people were paying for .223 @ $850 a case and more.

Unprepared people are PANICING. I'm no doomsday preparer but I have ammo from 30-35 years ago sealed and awaiting the call. Nick

Also went to Ag Center. Worse than Christmas shopping in the afternoon. Could not find the pistol or rifle I was looking for. Had to settle for buying one ammo can. Just need to figure out what to put in it.

What are they getting for the ammo cans? What size is it? I need some, but the shipping on them is too much.

 

[oldnfat]

No .223 or 5.56 ammo anywhere in my area, at any price.

If you have a military surplus store nearby, try looking there. One near me has a bunch of ammo cans for cheap.

I'm always seeing ammo cans for $10, especially at the army navy store I go to. As far as magazines..the jack !@#$% raising prices to $40/mag (which are usually the guys that complain about the normal pricing)

 

[Ken45]

At $850 a case, I'll start selling off what I have! I would not enjoy shooting ammo that was that expensive.

Hmmm, I wonder what I can sell my M&P15-OR for?

 

[Jyezahn]

$40/mag, yeah. Check out the latest "classifieds" listing in this forum...

PMAGS in the gun store I work at are $55!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THATS RIDICULOUS!!!


we had ONE 15-22 mag, but it was $40! Im not giving in to the hype...the 15-22 mag sold today..

 

[fordmustangfan67]

$55 for a PMAG is rediculous. In a gun store locally they are going for $70 here though. Why would anyone pay that? It's a shame that some gun shops are taking advantage of the situation. Also saw some ak47's in the $1200 range. Twice the normal price.

 

[roadkill45]

there was one at our area today (gun show) didn't want to get pissed off at all the snowbirds and the prices so i went rabbit hunting and got 10 with my 15-22. I get angry pretty quick when all the 'birds' down here show up to a limited space show in their friggin electric chairs cause they are too fat to walk, and then have to fondle everything they see. forget it! i have enough to see me through the hard times...6 months i predict, also my LGS.

I haven't been to a gun show in ten years. Now I remember why. Har Har.

 

[Stu1205]

1000 round case of Federal 223 ammo $1000.00 a case today
at the gun show in orlando.
Three weeks ago, same ammo $400.00 a case.
The sad part is that people are paying those prices.

[Garman]

No kidding....wheel chairs, walkers, canes...chicks with their dudes that just stand in the middle of the walk way while their guy sits there and talks bs to the people running the booths.

Forgot this one....some people also had dogs on a leash!

When I was searching for my MOE, I stopped in at a Mega Sporting Goods and they had an AK47 on the shelf for $2000!!! It was on consignment the worker stated and we laughed all the way out the door!

Saw a Mini 14 for $1250!! lol'ed at that one also!!
