[QUOTE="mr ed, post: 2030849, member: 6777"] Don't get mad when a gunshop says they are not selling black rifles anymore. All you have to do is look back at what happened in '94. A shop buys an Ar for $400 sells it for $450. Next week orders another. It costs $500 they sell it for $550. Next week they order one and it costs $625 They sell for $700 and on and on. They never end up making any money because the next one costs more. So the easiest decision and to not seem like a price gouger is to quit selling them or go to special order only status. Same with magazines. Another thing alot of you guys don't understand is Okla. has some of the cheapest prices in the country on this stuff. In other states they regulate mailorder sales and gunshows and their prices are 20-30% higher than Okla. so, when you see high prices advertised elsewhere that may not be gouging. In the end the only people really making big money are the manufacturers and distributors not the local dealer. [/QUOTE]
