I was advised to take a picture, because the Mini-14's were "flying outta here", and there would be no more. I had to hold back the tears after hearing that news, and went to Virginia Arms and bought an M&P 9 JG because I'd never actually seen one in person before.

The shelves were pretty barren in both shops, and both were packed with people buying one or more firearms.

Color me a fool, but I actually have this nagging attraction to the newer 580+ series Mini-14s with a traditional style synthetic stock. They're just ridiculously overpriced compared to any AR, Saiga, Arsenal, VEPR, ect.

M&P 9 JG? Shoulda' went with an Anzio 20mm.

:cool:

My goal at the gunshow tomorrow is to trade two Beta mags for a Colt Rail Gun.............this should be good:D

I'm a fan of my 580 stainless (albeit one of the earlier ones with the old thin barrel). If I knew I was walking into a firefight, I'd certainly much rather have one of my ARs with me, but I find it a more than acceptable companion to take with me while camping or engaging in other outdoor activities that places me amongst the sheep here in Kalifornia.

If I still lived in Wyoming, I doubt I'd even bother with it, but I think they are a perfect option for anyone in a State run by the grass fed.

Kind of wish I had picked up a second one (but that is just the hoarder in me talking...).

HK MR556 goes for over $7,000 on gunbroker: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=322214298

Hot damn. They only cost just over $2k new when priced normally/in normal supply.

^holy batshit crazy

$465 winning bid for BCM BCG on EBay.

I listed a bunch of long guns on GunBroker a week ago, and almost everything is gone at what, two weeks ago, would have been called crazy prices.

I put a hacked on Glock 19 on there for starting bid of $.01 with no reserve and it was already to $405 before I could edit the description with some HTML to pretty it up, like 90 seconds later.
