Thanks Uncle Kirk... Interesting read. I wonder how much for the MP5?

 

[Joniki]

I didn't realize Gander Mountain had a presence there...

prices in us dollars?

It's most likely translating to US dollars. Quite pricey considered what it used to cost for some of that stuff there.

 

[Beowulf]

75 cents a round for 7.62x39? Man, I though ammo prices here were bad.

 

[Vamptepes]

I'll take an rpg-7 and a rocket for $200. Can't beat that for a deal.

Old Don would be proud. Really IMO they should stop selling guns for just a little bit and pick that damn place up.

 

[jd4320t]

I expected the prices to be a lot lower.

 

[yote hunter]

And I thought guns and ammo prices were high here.... Well I guess we know whats coming here... As they say crap rolls down hill...

 

[Fordtough25]

Awesome! I always love looking at gun shops around the world, very cool!

Thanks Uncle Kirk. Interesting read.

This made me chuckle.

they need a license? Goodness, they have infrastructure for that stuff? prices are nuts

Must be using the INGO classifieds as a price guide. That or Armslist.

Dangit, I wish we had open air gun markets in the US. That would be friggin' sweet. I guess there kind of is at a few of the flea markets I frequent.

I love it that they save the best weapons for the fighters. Forward thinking of them. If the fighters lose, the guys selling guns may end up dead themselves.

You mean like the Indy1500 gun show coming up this weekend?

Hmm I guess I was thinking of something on a more permanent basis, but eh it happens often enough I suppose it counts.

You mean like the dozens and dozens of gun shops in Indiana?

Or, by "open air", you want like a Farmer's Market where middle-aged women in yoga pants are usually seen carrying lattes and yoga mats buy eggplants, basil and honey, but where INGO dwellers buy AK-74s and Ruger LCRs?

I expected the prices to be a lot lower.

But in all likely hood those rifles are mostly automatic. And LOTS of automatics.

Yes, that one. That's the one I want. Sounds like a grand old time, but I suppose it is basically a gun show without a roof.

I guarantee they are automatic. I guess the higher prices mean there aren't that many of them.
