Yesterday's Weapons Forums

Actually not bad. Prices are coming down overall. Well, there are the usual guys who always have the same stuff at the same price that will never sell, but overall it was encouraging.

EBRs @ 700. That was a basic M4 setup. Others for a lot more, but that beats 1000+ by quite a ways.

Plenty of primers. US made @ 35 to 40. Tula primers @ 30. I should have grabbed a carton to try but kept going. Lots of powder. Most IMR was around 28/#. Saw an 8 pounder of Unique for $130. Probably should have grabbed it.

Not much for milsurps. Saw a 91/30 for 100. I know the guy & most likely could have walked OTD with it for 80. But it was a common as dirt 1943 Izhevsk & I already have one.

More cheep knives than usual. Saw one duffer raking in the $ from kids who were buying cheep folders for a fiver. Probably cost him 1.

The bee poop lady was offering samples again. I like it on fresh bisquits but that's about it. Pass. Fur lady had quite a selection but no stinkers. You can have a lot of fun with a cased stinker pelt. Stuff a dish towel into it & put it just inside the door. **EEEEEK!!!***

Looked for Ellie at the NRA table but not there. Saw some interesting stuff but didn't buy. I did see $ changing hands though. Saw 2 different people filling out a 4473.

A fairly decent show overall. Crowded as heck and a little biz being conducted. SW

nice to know still drawing crowds have not been to a show since last spring , about ready to make one

I went to our show Sat about noon. Not too many people at that time. Saw one K98 marked as duffle cut for $550, #s looked good. Very little powder but all up in price. Was looking for some H335 but none there.

H335 here @ $28/ pound. SW

May have to make a trip up to Cabela's in MI or down to Columbus. Could order it but for hazmat fee.

Buddy went to Bill Goodman's in Dayton and reported gun powder prices are still high, but primer prices are now at retail! We have no clue why powder prices remain high.

How were powder prices in Nebraska?

Best Regards,

Most stores carrying powder at $30-$35 … or more.

Yes, I'm in the SW Ohio region. Lima is not in Peru last time I checked and they make tanks. Does that answer your question?

Yeah, Bill Goodman's is actually the only place around to get Powder, primers, and bullets at retail. The stores have prices all jacked up beyond retail. You have to pay $8 to attend the show though.

I'm guessing producers raised prices so we shall have a new retail price soon.
