Boy did I miss out yesterday at the gun show, and Im still upset. I brought 300 bucks in cash with me, with the intent to buy an AR lower reciever and maybe some wolf .223. I found a DPMS reciever for $125.00, put the money down & filled my paperwork out. Well, while Im waiting for the -Go Head- from the ATF I start looking around at nearby tables. Here's where I just about had a heart attack :
The guy at the next table had an UNISSUED Universal M1Carbine for $400.00 Cash no tax !! I swear, Im not lying - this gun had never been shot. It looked as good as a brand new Auto Ordnance carbine. I had been wanting one for some time now, but had never seen a surpluss model for under 500 bucks. This gun was immaculate, and the guy was selling it for 400.00. OMG , I almost fell out. I pulled out my debit card, and hauled butt to the ATM inside the convention center. Just my luck, it was broken. I run back to the table I bought my lower at; my paperwork cleared just as I got there back. I went to ask the guy with the carbine if he would hold it for me for 1 hour, only to see someone else pulling out the cash for it.. I knew it wouldnt last long. Rarely do I ever see deals at the gunshow, and the one time I dont bring sufficient cash with me, the best deal I'd ever seen comes along. God, I could just kick myself.
