They are printing new pricing labels this morning.

Suit yourself, I wont go near that place. Its usually good entertainment, but this will just be aggravating to see.
This is what sucks... I had already decided I was going to buy something, and all I want is a .22! I'm pretty upset that I may have to skip this thing just because of the election results...

I disagree. I know a dealer selling complete flat-top Ar's for $550(he only had one left a couple days ago, YMMV), and I bought a milled receiver vz-58 for $380 about a year ago.

IMO, gun shows are horrible places to buy basic AR's.


My FIL and I were joking about how its going to be crazy. He wants a couple of magazines, and I wouldn't mind seeing the spectacle of it all, so we are going saturday morning. Ill take pics if it gets crazy.

And I dont think any of this will have a significant effect on .22 prices.

Good to know! The only shops I've seen that carry the 617 don't keep an inventory, so they just have the single revolver that's been sitting in their display case and been dry-fired who knows how many hundreds of times.

They will just target the volume guns(popular pistols like Glock,XD, M&P, and evil black rifles) I bet those pistols are up 10%, and the long guns 20-25% vs Tues afternoon.

I just hope all the old white guys take their government supplied heart medicines before heading down there. Wouldn't want them having a heart attack during all the excitement of stocking up to protect themselves from the government.

Treaty=Not allowing American companies to export their firearms products. How business friendly...

Next comes the restriction of sales internally.
