    Every time we hit the gun shop, he's buying mags. Two or three every trip adds up...

    1 Colt mag = $100 courtesy of Cheaper than Dirt.

    And based on the comments they are used, didn't read any mention of included KY.

    Ah, Cheaters and Turds.....

    Sunday I was at some friends' house eating BBQ. Their next door neighbor had finally bought himself an AR. Beautiful carbine - a Noveske in 300 BLK with the stainless barrel. Really nice. I held it and admired it, until he mentioned the price.

    They charged him $4000, plus tax, for a carbine that John lists for $2450. And he got it at - you guessed it.

    I was pissed at CTD, and I was pissed at the neighbor for waiting until the house was on fire, before he bought an extinguisher.

    At least he got the magazine, sticker and hat.

    A freaking $100 used AR-15 magazine. (Notice the word "Issued")

    That *is* insane.

    Unless you live in CO, it's illegal.

    The balancing act is to keep a reputation for honesty vs cut-throat. CTD isn't just price-gouging right now... it's too caveat emptor with them, in general. Nothing wrong with that, but I'd rather give my money to brownell's - I think failing to squeeze every cent out of this is a good investment on their part.

    Of course, between individuals, it's always caveat emptor...
