You have confused a capitalist with a self seving horses rear end. What goes around comes around, and it will come around.

Old Gringo, you hit the nail square smack dead center on the head. Thank You!

I appreciate you calling me that. I like to think of it as an ant vs. grasshopper scenario.

Why do you attend gun shows anymore - when there are Little to No deals anymore?

** ammo is outrageous - you can still find better deals online and when available - Wal-Mart or Academy has better pricing.

** EBR's are way out of line as well as AK's

** All you get is frustration, long lines and headaches ... to walk around and see all of the Sham Wow (Not So Wow) sales guys, the beef jerky tables, the tall tales of wanabe Viet Vets telling outrageous stories (no offense to the REAL VETS) and the smell of roasted nuts...

All that and 7 bucks of wasted money - wishing that you should have stayed home and saved time, money and effort by buying from a trusted fellow CHL - FTF.

Gun Shows are a joke right now...
I go here in Amarillo because there is not much in the way of dealers. We have Academy, Gander Mountain, and 3 mom and pop stores.

Gun shows are great for me because I can handle a firearm before I buy. Here, you have to order it and if you don't like it, you get the privilege to pay a "restocking fee".

A buck a piece for 45 target stuff is insane. These people are shamefull profiteers no different that someone who jacks up the prioce of plywood just before a hurricane.antage Arms .22 conversion kit for my Glock and one for my 1911. I can still get 550 rounds for under $20 at Wally World.

Damn Capitalists!!! Government should put price controls on ammunition so the ammunition can be spread around. :thumbs2:

Re: Ammunition at Saxet Gun show, Austin

There was a gun show this weekend here in Amarillo. I saw a couple of tables with 380fmj for over $50/box. 1 table had it for 60 and he sold out on Saturday.

I came back Sunday and sold 6 boxes for $40/box. Used that money and bought a Savage/Stevens in 308.
