There was gun show this weekend just down the road so…why not?
It looks like the shortages and shortage-induced prices have mostly stopped…..with the notable exception of .22lr ammo which seems to still be hanging in there around ten cents per round.
AR’s were in good supply and mags were everywhere. Quality name-brand ammo for .223 was still in the forty-to-fifty cent range.
Highlight of the show was a .303 Martini that had been remade into a pistol in some Peshawar garage. Amusing to look at…. And interesting to think about since that sorta thing might turn some heads with that whole ‘making a pistol out of a rifle’ issue. Might explain why the guy wouldn’t lemme take a picture of it.
Didn’t see anything that really jumped out at me. I bought some reloading dies, Two boxes of old Dominion/CIL .43 Mauser ammo, and that was about it. Anytime I get out of a gun show without spending $100 I’m happy.
Just as we’ll….gift-giving season approaches and I’ll need the cash.
That’s funny. I went to one of the bigger shows here this weekend and ended up buying two books and a couple of Colt 9mm mags for the MKIV Series 70 9mm. Did manage to avoid buying the Astra A80 .38 Super… oh me.
At 10 cents a round of 22lr, we have prices in the 16-20 cent range when they can be found. A dime is cheap, I wish that it had been closer to me, I’m in the Northeast.
