Another gun show at the KCI Expo Center.

Ammo was still outrageously priced.  I saw PMC 223 marked at $900 for 1k rounds.  ARs way overpriced.  MAK90s marked for $1150.  Brown Bear 7.62x39 from $380 to $440 per 1k.  I don't think guns and ammo were moving like before.  You could still find it, but a lot of people were not willing to pay the crazy prices.

I was selling some Wolf by the front door next to a guy with an AR-15 for sale.  I kid you not, he was asking for $1700 for a DPMS lower with a Model 1 Sales kit he built attached to it, a fluted stainless bull barrel.  Some guy was seriously looking at it and in my mind I was screaming "Run, Run!"  Go buy the Bushmaster someone else was selling for like $1500, if you want to throw your money away!

Someone was walking around with a "custom" Armalite AR-10 with Mossy Oak camo on it for $4,700, serious offers only.

Gun shows are always high even in non-panic times.  My LGS had two ARs for 900 bucks.  One was a RRA and the other a Double Star.  Normal prices are still out there and coming back slowly but surely in my opinion.

That will be the norm for a while.
