Heh, heh, heh, there's a pawn shop in Laurel, MS, which thinks it's guns are absolute gold. Literally, LITERALLY, they have a shooter-grade Yugo SKS lacking the magazine (though it could have a detachable somewhere) for $619. Yes, that's right, $619. Same folks own one in Hattiesburg and they have a folding-stock Yugo SKS for, yes that's right, $799!
But then, these guys are trying to sell a used Mossberg 100ATR for $499. Yeah, that's twice what the rifle costs new. Yeah, it did have a scope - a bottom-line Bushnell. While I like the ATR, that is just plane loony.
And, lest anyone not believe me, the shops are Pawn Express on 16th Ave North near Bush Dairy Road, Laurel, and Pawn Shop Plus on Hardy Street across from the Zoo, Hattiesburg.
At $619 for a $99 SKS, there isn't even room to start talking.
