Attention New Members and those new registering!
We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

I figured prices would be up but not as bad as they were. EBRs were in the four figure range - a few put-togethers like 750. The only thing Evil & Black I gave a second look was a DPMS lower complete except for stock @ 125. But I passed. For that money, I suspect something was monkeyed up about it.

Anything resembling a Kalashnikov was pricey, too. WAY pricey. Saw a 7.62x39 Saiga for 1200. I have no idea why it was priced that way. WASRS in the 600 - 700 range.

Not much for milsurps. Saw a rack of 8 Enfields - your choice for 500 each. I'm not making this up. All WW2 vintage. Saw a 6.5 Italian Vetterli for 750. :roll: Guy also had a Dutch Beaumont for the same money. Needless to say, he's had them for years.

Quite a variety of shotguns & coyote rifles which is the bread & butter of gun shows around here. Plenty o' jerkey, popcorn, other munchies. Big display of "survival food". Heck - anything I eat technically qualifies for that. ;) MREs too numerous to mention and full cases of freeze-dried meals. Pass, pass & pass.

But I did grab a NOS set of grips for my rusty Ruger & a big bag o' 38 Spl brass. $20 for all that. Saw some guys I've known forever & had a good time yukking it up.

I hope things don't get worse from here price wise. SW
