Do they put something in the water at the Muskogee Gun Show ??

[WoodsCraft]

So this is the second time I have been to the Muskogee Gunshow , last time I actually got a smoking deal on a can of 7.62 Nato to feed to the M14 . One thing I noted and it was reinforced today at the gunshow above is that these people who get tables there seem to go ahead and bump their prices up to the stratosphere , well beyond what I would even consider the normal inflated gun show prices. People asking $1200 for poverty pony build rifles and $2500 for Aero M5 rifles .. Granted its a small show and can be experienced in its entirety in 20 minutes with ease . The question is for folks who know , is that normal over there ? Its almost like they took every clown "private collection" seller in the area and put them in the same venue .

They smoke lots of marijuana in Muskogee.
They're all jacked up on LSD.


You must sing that.

I've found that a lot of firearms enthusiasts are (like myself) pretty cynical people.
But looking at the price tags, some of the people who rent tables at gun shows are eternal optimists.

I still like to take a stroll through gun shows once in a while though.

I remember going to a gun show back in 2013 or so. Prices were high, but not crazy. Then the next round of gun control whispers started going around, next gun show was insane. I remember going and thinking “gun world must have set the prices for everyone”. And just like gun world, I haven’t seen a gun sale since where the prices were reasonable. Aside from when I bought my 610 from a member here. Most are tiny now too. I won’t go to one unless I just feel like throwing away my admission fee.

I go all the time to shows , its fun and usually at the Tulsa or OKC shows I do really well, usually finding things I need and even finding a dealer who isn't on crack and has reasonably priced guns. In fact I have found the Shawnee and Ada shows to be decent , but my God everyone at that Muskogee show seems to be huffing ether .

I thought thats how it was at all shows but i still make our yearly show but dont really go for the guns cause 1 they over priced 2 most of them are new modern guns im not interested in, i usually go for the comradery, reloading supplies and that off the wall parts that i dont really want to pay shipping on and dont really need but nice to have around in case i do.

The prices probably include the I don’t care if you can legally own it I will still sell to you up-charge.
