I went to a gun show today & I saw some prices that caught my eye.
AR pattern rifles are plentiful again & I saw prices as low as $850 on a new DPMS. Bushys were about the same. Naturally prices went up from there. I didn't see any of them selling.
Some guys were trying to get $10-15 for 30 round AR mags. One guy had a whole crate full of them (used) for $6 each. Tapco 30-round AK mags were as low as $10 each & not flying off the shelves.
.223 ammo ranged from $8/box of steel case to $20 per box of brass case. .38 special ranged from $18-30 per 50. 9mm ranged from $20-35 per 50. .22lr ranged from $50-75 per brick of 500 & I didn't see any selling. Availability of all above calibers was fair. Most of the ammo on the tables looked shelf worn.
One guy had plenty of powder but prices were high, like $30/lb average. He had primers for $45/M. The boxes looked new. I don't think that it was old stock.
One guy had a nice looking H&G 4-cav with handles for $180. The price was out of my range so I left it.
New handguns of all descriptions were plentiful.
My conclusion: Gun supply is starting to catch up, but ammo still lags behind.
edit: One thing seemed really out f step with everything else. The price of SKS rifles has shot sky high. They started at $550 & went up from there. I was surprised to find that J&G is now also charging $500 each for them. They are not the cheap rifle they once were. MN bolt guns have come up to around $190 each, which I think is still reasonable for what they actually are, but not cheap like they have been in the past.
Also surprising to me, several tables had case quantities of 300 Blackout ammo. The price was about the same as most other calibers, or maybe a bit cheaper.
