Welcome to South Carolina. Most of the gun shop owners here seem to assume all of the customers are ignorant. I'll admit, I've paid my share of ridiculous prices in SC gun shops. I paid $10 for a pack of 100 Winchester primers and $10 for three ounces of Bullseye powder (guy poured it into a zip-lock bag and weighed it) before I knew better. At least I didn't pay $300 for a Mosin Nagant, $35 for a chinese AK mag, or $750 for an AK single-stack Maadi (worth about $150) that I've seen near where I live. Oh yeah, I saw a $300 Nagant revolver and a $700 for a Springfield Milspec 1911 (saw one for $450 in Atlanta) this week in a shop. The bad part is that I see people paying these prices. The shop I was in got $675 for the Springfield! To add insult to injury, the buyer bought three boxes of UMC 45 ammo to go with it for the low price of $25 each. SC is one of the poorest states, and it pains me to see people, that can't afford it, paying too much. I keep waiting on a store with fair prices to show-up and put the rip-off artists out of business, but it hasn't happened yet.z
