Gun Show Report.
 
Quick show report before I head up to the river. Boy were there alot of AR's, lowers and AK's today. Prices were starting to come down but some were still in the stratosphere. The ammo guys actually had a bunch of wolf x39 but it was 415/thou. This is the first time they've had any since this winter though so thats a good sign. They also had american eagle 7.62x51 for $400 per 500rnds. Attendence was high and there were alot of guns for sale, but part of this I attribute to the fact that the WAC puts on shows in Puyallup (larger show) and Monroe (smaller show) and there is no Puyallup show for June or July due to the fairgrounds being fully booked for other things. The two shows are about 50 or 60 miles apart. Now I'm going to head to the river and relax. Picked up the new Matthew Bracken book Foreign Enemies and Traitors, at the show and I'm excited to start reading it.

Nice man. I went today as well. Definitely lots of AR's and AK's - prices were still pretty high IMO. High end AR's in the 1500 - 2k range - regular AR's 900 - 1200. Saw many AK's for 650 - 1000 and many SKS's for 350 - 450. Couple Saiga 12's in the 600 - 800 range

Honestly I felt the pricing was still too high. I saw lots of lookers and not a lot of buyers of AK/AR's.

I did see a lot of lowers - even saw some for $115 - I was going to grab some of those but they were not private sales.

You are right lots of Ammo - was a good sign. They had some .223 @ $350 for 1k as well.

I was able to pick up a Super Redhawk in great shape and some Ammo. Along with a 3 day pack - some ammo cans - and two speed loaders for the new revolver.

All around good show - good selection for the most part. I am hoping that next months show will have the prices down again.

All-in-all I am glad I have been holding off on the bulk ammo purchases and other items that had been driven up over the last 6 months.

I went to two stores today and saw Black Rifles on the Walls of each. I was told to wait 6Months and they will be real cheap. People are already trying to sell them back to the Gun Store.

Ammo---well, thats a different story. No 40s and .38special only forund lead no copper jackets. Very limited.

The fireworks are coming soon. Wait until California's budget collapse, and the cascade from that.

Nah fed.gov will bail them out. They have a record of bailing out "too big to fail" corporations.

Like when a major storm hits and everyone scrambles to get a generator. As soon as power is restored, they take them back. I will welcome the flood of cheap guns and ammo returning to the market!
