One persons 'price gouging' is anothers 'supply and demand'.
I didn't hear any complaining about doubles available at bargain prices. Low demand = low prices.
The comment about infantry weapons borders on foolishness, but I wouldn't say anything that harsh in this forum.
As to the
Crossroads of the West Gunshows. I miss them. Attended a hundred or more in Phoenix and Salt Lake City. Even set up a table one to rid myself of stuff before our cross country move. I've bought and sold a bunch of stuff over the years at those shows.
Currently using up a supply of once fired Federal .223 brass that I bought at a Phoenix show for $9 per 1000.

I'll be shooting it in my 'infantry weapon's'. I left Phoenix in '98 so you can tell I was more prescient than today's 'panic' buyers.
