Quoted: ... Ha! Got some (20) round M16 USGI mags today for $13 a pop. Nice to see prices coming down.

Looks like we continually missed each other. I was there from opening to the bitter end. Mission semi-accomplished...
10/22 folding stock
10/22 AGI video
10/22 magazine speed loader
(Gee, could Mike be contemplating a build..?)
5lb bag of walnut media
Nifty l'il book on the old original Maxim suppressors
Two original SKS 10-round mags (who else has noticed that the aftermarket ones are absolute crap?)
I got to see preban AR's going for anywhere between $795 for this REALLY old one-- never even heard of the name before-- to the $2,500.00 M4geries that One-Eyed Jack has. AR mags were anywhere from $13 to $50 each. 10/22 25+ round bannana mags were anywhere from $20 to $100 each; those nifty teardrop drums were $75 - $300. I really hope someone makes a copy of the old Stanford/AMT thompson-style 10/22 drums; I'm NOT going to pay $400 for one.
The only disappointment was not finding a solid used stainless 10/22. I found some new ones at $225-$240, one used for $200 (new is $205 at wally world!), and got to hear that AZ Shooters world sold two yeaterday for $139.95 each.
One memorable quote from some guy wandering around with an AR...
Me: Hey, how much..?
Guy: $1,800.00. It's a Green label Colt.
Me: (sounding positive for the guy's benefit) Ah, okay-- good luck with it..!
Guy: You're not interested..?
Me: Nah, the ban's going away and...
Guy: ...goddamnit, that's just terrible. The best price I'm getting for this rifle is $600 from some jerk dealer. Damn expiration.
(guy wanders off)
Yeeeeah. I'm taking a bath on one of my prebans-- but I'll gladly take a personal financial bath to have some national Constitutional rights restored.
All in all though, still a good show.
Mike
