...An older gentleman in the far corner was tryin' to tell another he can't do that because even though AR-10's aren't banned, they're still regulated because "ALL assault rifles were and still ARE regulated".
However, the prices range from high to bordering on the absurd.
I agree. Went yesterday and found that prices on firearms (rifles) were $100-200 more than online and box store sales, and handguns were priced out of reach.
Lots of older shotguns, targets, cleaning supplies, and cheap optics. It was a rainy Saturday and a good way to burn a couple of hours.
This is what kills me when I go to Maryland shows. If they would or could set their prices to at least match the going prices I would buy some guns at the shows. I don't go for buying firearms at gun shows, I go for everything else.
Is this the result of the high cost of running a business in Maryland?
I want to support local business but when they can't even get close something had got to be wrong.
...its the cost of doing shows.
What does that mean?
overhead... the cost of tables. transportation, fuel, paying help.
some dealers will stay at their shops, knowing they will make more and not have the hassle of packing up, time, etc...
Yeah, that was them.
One of 'em did have a nice Russky SKS.
The table in front of them had 2 fine Garands, one of which with a 6-digit serial number.

Questions: If you were going to buy a rifle in .308 what would you buy? Ruger, Sako, Rem, Winch., black rifle.....?
My next .308 will be an Armalite AR-10.
Are you talking about the AR-30A1? I have been looking at that for a while now. Almost clicked buy a couple times. $3k+is kinda expensive though. I've been looking at that but in .338 Lapua. Love to get it but not many places around that can accommodate that distance. If I can play with it a lot it's be great, otherwise just a bunch of money spent on something to take up room in the safe. *sigh*
Negatory.

I hate the flat top look though. I'd have to change that.
