I really don't need anything so I can afford to be patient. The price of anything is outragous. $1200 for a SW 1911. Right. I spend a lot of my crazy cash on reloading and archery anymore. I hate to say it and if my other half reads this I will deny it I have enough for now.

I plan on retiring for real in a year or so then I may try to build something but for now I will leave well enough alone.

Gil and Adam. I got a brother also and I'm glad he lives in Denver.

It depends

While the hang tag prices on surplus arms are a bit high, most gun shops will haggle as a previous posted has pointed out. My favorite gun shop owner says, "cash is king." He also says that he would rather make a nickel today than hope to make a dime next month.

A few of the gun shops tell me they are doing a brisk business online at gun auction sites. Those sites have prices that give me chest pains so I avoid them. All the best...
