Well, I admit I didn't see any flying out the door. Parking lot was jam-packed. We had to cross the street, jump the curb, and park along the shoulder of the road.

Arsenal Bulgarian AKs are very hard to find at gun shows, and when they show up, they command high prices. They have been running in the $800 to $1000 range lately...depending on type, receiver, and rarity.

Twist Rate. Rifling in the barrel, amount of twist/spin in barrel length.

Rate of twist of the rifling in the barrel. Typical 1:9 twist means the bullet traveling down the barrel should make 1 complete rotation for every 9 inches of barrel length.

WOW...

I beginnin' ta think that the days of reasonably priced guns and ammo are done. They are either going to stay High for as long as the libs hold office or till Jesus comes back.

the over priced guns have nothing to do with being afraid of what well happen.

its all to do with GREED either from gun makers or Dealers

I have 23 hand guns and 18 of them have been picked up used the rest on sale. bought only 5 in the last year all used.

the Gun dealers and makers are not any different then the banks and the homebuilders from 2 years ago it is GREED.:36_1_30:

and as the home builders as long as people keep buying inflated prices they will keep raising them.

I will not over pay- but then again been debt FREE my whole life and there is a reason why I am free from debt:565:

don't get suckered into paying to much because people are crying the sky is falling.:452:

For the Record : All the used handguns at the show I attended were priced as usual.

one more reason to buy used

I scan gun forums for private sales

I will let the sheep buy new and I will buy used off them when they get bored and they will.

I guess you need sheep to make the world go around

Yep, I suppose that's a true statement.

However, to clarify - the only guns that were PRICEY were the EWB's or the Evil Black Rifles..........NOT handguns.

Assault Weapons Ban II is coming and Everyone is driving prices higher trying to accumulate what they Fear they won't be able to afford or attain in the future.

THIS is what is HOT right now !!!

thats good the hand guns were not over priced (I more of a hand gun person then long gun even hunt with a revolver)

I know a lot of the gun shops around me have raised there price across the board.
and that's fine its a free market.

Nice and FWIW ~ I saw a Ruger Redhawk 44-magnum revolver for $450 at the show which seemed like a deal to me although I wasn't in the market for one.
