Wallets will be raped. My buddy sold his ak 47 for $1,800 last week at one. He paid $600 for it.

It was. I left. WAY overpriced stuff. junk gear. Had a solid selection of pistols and rifles, but again, most of it was overpriced. People still buying like crazy though!
Colt ARs going for $2500 and a Bushmaster was $3k.

Left as well. It's madness. Almost bought a nice .380 though. If he woulda come down a bit more would have been a deal. Black rifle prices are insane

Went to the G&K show in Birmingham today... Line to get in was over a city block long.
Prices on modern sporting rifles were about what you would expect... no bargains on nothing.. ammo, mags, kits..nothing. Plenty of AR15's HK's, Colts, Sigs, Bushmaster, RockRiver were all 1200-2500 depending. I bought a couple of surplus ammo boxes and otherwise just wasted time. I did see a young couple get burned pretty bad on a used (looked like a S&W) .38 revolver... guy cut them a "deal" because it was his last one.. $475. smh

I want to sell my AR so damn bad with prices where they are right now, but I just cant bring myself to do it with not knowing if I'll be able to get another one if a AWB is put in.

Anyone thinks it's a good plan to go at the end on Sunday? See what they have that they want to get rid of
