Kenner Gun Show this weekend (Jan 26 / 27)

[nola_]

ATF had a large presence, in my experience as "buyers", gi used mags for $20, window pmags for $40-$80, 22lr sold for $50/brick like it was gold. All ammo sky high. Didnt see many AK's.

Even at $40, people were buying pmags like crazy. if you are desperate for one, a lot of vendors had them.

A 50 round box of 9mm was $37 to $40. A 500 rd case of Blazer brass 9mm ammo was $420. And most of it went out the door in the first two hours. 5.56/.223 was around a dollar a round and up. Federal XM193 was $20 a box, and the vendor was bragging that he wasn't gouging his customers as much as the other vendors.

Prices seem about 20% down from the Gonzales show, but still crazy high.

 

[J-Dog]

I would like to know what prices they have on stripped lowers and parts kits? 40 rd mags?

Parts kits and I don't remember brand name were 179.00
Only lowers I saw were plastic stripped 150.00
30 rd PMAGs were 49 - 60
GI mags that I saw were 30 and they were beat to **** and back

Well what people ask, and what others are willing to pay can be miles apart. I think a lot of the dealers there are really counting on more panic than is really there. The turn out was huge, but a lot of people I think were there for curiosity/amusement. I managed to pick up a few primers that were high, but not astronomical. Here are a few prices I noticed: Standard Colt AR $2700.00, LMT standard $2599.00,Bushmaster $2495.00, PTR91 $1899.00. 3006 FMJ ball $75.00 per 100. As a bill nears the floor of the House I am sure things will get even crazier. Whats sad is that a huge proportion on these purchases are simply "Feel Good" measures. On a positive note, I have heard the demand for Gun Safes has increased, but pricing is remaining about the same as pre insanity.

Yeah I sold 750rnds of 9m to the ammo guy for $22 box... He then put them in the $37 box and after Nolajack sold out it took me about 5 mins to sell 200 more rounds of .233 with the current market dealers were tryin to buy at old trade in prices while selling @ new crazy prices... Baddies I will say the pmags @$45 was much better than Jackson MS 2 weeks ago $55 bucks for non windowed ...

Good meeting you out there, glad to hear you had success after I left. I didn't bother going back today, I've had enough of that for a while.

I went at 1:30PM today and there were no lines and the place was not that crowded. Ammo prices were obscene as were AR's and Mags. I sold a S&W Model 19 and then came home with a 1948 vintage Marlin 39-A. I bought a Norinco SKS about a year ago for $250. It was still packed in cosmoline. I saw one at the show priced at $800. I am very glad that I reload.

Prices seem about 20% down from the Gonzales show, but still crazy high.

I also noticed prices on AR15.com going down. Some people are still asking thousands above value but I found that some are deducing to as low as 400 above pre crazy prices.
