I really want(ed) to get one of those. Let slip a "buy it now" price about four months back for a good price that was posted for about 10 minutes before someone smarter than me snatched it away. Doubtful I'll be getting one now in light of this type of garbage. Wonder if that buyer will actually pay for it?

No doubt about it, that is a sweet blaster -- but not $1,100 sweet.

I saw several mid/low end name brand 308 AR's on GB last week going for over $5, that is just stoopid!

And I thought I would get a 4inch colt king cobra at a decent price.....Now there is no decent price...for anything :(

I always argue to my wife that firearms are not a silly purchase because they do not depreciate greatly over the years. Now she has turned the tables on me and points out the financial argument to sell when the markets are high. Luckily i was quick on my feet and pointed out the same is true for her Jewelry. We decided to keep our guns and jewelry

Nicely done. Glad I wasn't taking a drink when I got to the punchline.

Good save Nacho!

I'm glad I have what I "need" right now. Most of what I want is in the ammunition/magazine department.

Though I could be seriously tempted by a lever gun or a milsurp non-"assault" rifle that can be quickly reloaded from clips.

That's insane.....I've been noticing those price across the board tho. The Ruger LCP .380 is still priced nicely at fleet farm for $304 , can't find a thing I don't like about the gun for the price. Perfect pocket pistol.
If you must snap, please leave your guns at home. We don't really care if they ban claw hammers tho!!!
