Re: Gunshow June 2013

Had a show in Raleigh today. Lots of vendors, not much of a crowd. Large rifle primers were very scarce to nonexistent, Plenty of others, though. Powder was available from a number of vendors.

Re: The state of the Union now

Price gouging was rampant on all ARs, AKs, HKs and every other semiauto magazine fed rifle and carbine. I saw a Chinese SKS in...

Re: Gun shows and farmers markets

My brother and I went to the Richmond, VA gun show this weekend past. There were plenty of new guns on the tables but milsurps were sadly lacking. Quite a few milsurps wandered in throughout the time we were there on the backs of folks wanting to do a private sale. I did see some decent deals but no...
