The prices were almost as high as here...
What's the kings referring to?Which part?
I guess I'm fussing about the guns like SKS (and Marlin lever actions are another) that are beat to death, every screw buggered and or not original, buttplate broke or missing, gun rusted up (especially SKS shot with corrosive ammo and not cleaned) - but with an asking price like a mint condition rifle with original box and hang tag.Saw the one with capture papers. I don't recall seeing the price, but if it was $1000, that was a buy. Those that haven't been keeping track don't realize SKS rifles have increased dramatically in price; nice, light refurb Russians will bring up to $1000 now, nice Chinese are in the $500 and up range - usually more. The more rare or non-refurb Russians are north of $1000. Hell, even Mosins are now pushing $400-$500. All of the "cheap" stuff isn't cheap anymore, including the surplus ammo.
Seen several post lately with you talking about the really big stuff. You hunt africa or......? Just a hobby? That's some big stuff.I couldn't find crap for 416 Taylor or 404 Jeffery after walking the whole show. One guy tempted me with a 500 A Square package but I need another project like a hole in my head.
Interestingly based on my recent knife experience I was paying attention and saw counterfeit Gerbers on at least two tables. One didn't like me pointing that out either.

i understand - there's plenty of those. As for the "paras", I saw more this time than in recent memory. Handy little rifles.I guess I'm fussing about the guns like SKS (and Marlin lever actions are another) that are beat to death, every screw buggered and or not original, buttplate broke or missing, gun rusted up (especially SKS shot with corrosive ammo and not cleaned) - but with an asking price like a mint condition rifle with original box and hang tag.
And yeah, I know. It's whatever price a willing buyer and seller can agree on.
I do like to see the purty ones at the show, especially the shorter models (SKS so-called Paratrooper, Marlin Marauder, etc).![]()
