...when I spied some aluminum FAL mags.
Gent was asking $10 each for them, and I'd say they rated VGC to EXC, but were by no means mint.
Is this a decent deal? What do the aluminum mags go for, I mean is there a premium over steel?
I did pick up 10 EXC condition STG-58 mags today. Another guy had a single mag on his table tagged at $3. For $3, I was all over it. He then asked if I'd like to buy some more, and began hauling some out from under his table. Too bad he stopped at 10....I'd have bought them all day long at $3 ea.
Of note on the mag front...two vendeors were discussing how much they should start jacking up magazine prices due to the "New hi-cap ban" that they're just sure is coming. One said he was gonna raise his mag prices a couple of bucks each show, rather than all at once "...to get them used to seeing rising prices...". They gent he was talking to said he wasn't going to make any deals on mags, no bulk discount, no good buyer discount, nothing at all...you pay the price that's marked, so he could "...have enough mags to make a tidy sum when the new ban hits...."
Yeah. Nothing like planning your gouge before there's and ban legislation pending...tools.
Oh yeah....one table had 4 FAL's on it. 3 out of 4 were various permutations of L1A1, Imbel, and STG parts on Imbel receivers. One was an Imbel on Century. Not one of the rifles had a price tag of more than $700 on it, and they all were still there when I left.
