Might have better luck posting this in the Oregon section, in Hometown...instead of posting it in an AR tech section.

Deals ? None on ARs or Ammo. I guess it's a matter of perspective though...There were ARs, AKs and Ammo but at the rate they were selling, there may not be any left after Saturday.

Thread on this in Oregon HTF, posted an AAR on my visit to the show there - it was pretty hectic.

Lines out the door and you could just smell the panic. Pallets of ammo disappeared before my very eyes, I shit you not. Not a round of anything commonly used will be left come Sunday, I'd bet a box of good rounds on it.



To answer your question: No "good" deals, per-se. Some vendors selling things at what I'd consider to be fair - that is, not drastically increased since the 5th - prices. At other vendors some prices have gone up a little, some ridiculously.

You have no f'ing idea, I almost puked. I wanted to try and find an AK actually, as the only AK I've got is a WASR. No Dice. Best "deal" I could find was CAI Yugos for 700 . Yugo underfolder I was looking at was 900 freaking dollars. RPKs for 800something. Arsenals were up above 950.  I saw more than one rather basic AK for over 1100...

I wish I could go back in time and readjust my spending priorities and get a nicer AK for a price that isn't insane...


ETA: Sorry mods I probably shouldn't have bumped this to the top of a tech forum again, considering post content etc...
