A good sign on some gun shop shelves

I think the bubble has burst in Cincinnati and I hope the next show reflects sane prices.

Gun show prices have been in a bubble for 20 years. They are a total waste of time, unless you are just browsing. The dealers often mark everything up to cover the cost of the table at the show.

I went to about 6-7 Nation's Gun Show in Northern and would have agreed with you. But last November then I got a 95% Marlin Camp 45 with 2 original SS 7-rd mags for $650. One recently sold on GB for over 1500! Even pre-Newtown massacre, that was a bargain.

Okay, I pretty much still agree with you, I just got very lucky.

Well may be I should be going to more Is it a checkered stock or the earlier version?

ah don't worry, with a bill in the committee as we speak, the next move towards gun legislation will surge another panic.

Not unless a bunch of new people join the shooting sports...

Store near me has a couple AR15's for sale, boxes of .223 and 9mm, and most surprisingly, a supply of 30 round PMags for sale.

How about the new Gander Mountain ad that just came out today...advertising ammo they know they don't have...man that burns my cheeks.

My Wal-Mart was showing some promising signs this morning. They had Federal Auto Match .22LR, Tula 9mm, Federal 9mm, Tula .223, and a couple others on the shelves this morning. It's been completely bare for a few weeks now and this is the first time I've seen any choices at all in the aforementioned calibers.

Our Wal Mart here in Fountain CO had .223, .40 S&W and .45 ACP last night...limit 3 boxes per shopper.

We were in the market for .243 so I skipped the .223...should have got some but I think supply will return this summer or a fall.

Today at my local discount store sporting goods counter, there were a couple 10/22's on hand. Haven't seen any of those in a couple months. They also had Blazer Brass 9mm in stock, again, for the first time in a few months. The only downside was the 9mm ammo was about $4 per box more than normal. This was not the store gouging, as their cost was higher as well. This was manufacturer and/or distributor.

The Ruger .22's were priced normal.
