    Bump for the upcoming weekend.

    If anyone's interested in Mosin Nagant 91-30s and/or M38s, a dealer who will be set up in the small building at Centre Hall will have a crate of both types. The 91-30she has are all hex receivers from the late 20s and through the 30s and are some of the nicest I've ever seen. He has M38s that are in M44 stocks and M38 wartime stocks. He's got a lot of 7.62x54r ammo to go with them.

    Thanks for the heads-up. This is a decent little show, and I usually walk away with a nice deal on a few small items. Just fun to get out and look around without paying out the ass for parking, admission and food.

    I mentioned to the vendor the interest shown here in the Mosins, and he asked me to post that anyone going to Centre Hall and mentioning they are a PAFOA member by screen name will receive $10 off discount toward purchase of either a 91-30 or M38. One per customer. He's set up in the SMALL building, with crates of 91-30s and M38s.

    I might have to make it out to this one. Not to far from me and near State College.

    I just received my C&R license and was going to order a 91/30 and spam can of ammo soon. Might have to see what I can find with this dealer before I order.

    We will see. Thanks for the heads up!

    Not as big as previous years, but I did manage to cut a few nice deals.
    The guy with the Mosins didn't want to deal with my offer of 4 free boxes with a brick of 25 boxes of 55gr 5.56 ($125).
    Some other clown who sells shitloads of mostly over-priced ammo didn't want to take my offer of 2 free 10-rnd boxes of GP11 (the only boxes he had, worth $4.99 each) with a 25-box brick of 25 Silver Bear ($120).
    Lucky, another seller there understood the concept of moving stock and agreed on 5 free boxes with a 25-box brick of 25 Wolf 62gr 5.56 ($125). Net price was $12.50 less than it would have been from aimsurplus.
    The guy who sold me the Wolf also had a nice price on Federal 5.56.

    Ok, so the guy accepts your "kind" offer to take free bonus inventory. Appearently the guy who took your offer is either in a cash flow crunch or doesn't care if he actualy makes a profit. I sell ammo myself and know what sort of mark-up there is on it. I"m pretty sure I know the dealer with the Mosins and if it is who I believe it is, if I were him I'd not accept your offer either. The ammo market is just too crazy right now. If you are dissatified with the cost of ammunition now just wait a month or two when the price increases I've been informed of from our distributors go into effect. Sorry if I sound terse. It's late and I just can't think of a gentler way to express this.

    You spoke to me. I was helping the vendor with the Mosins because his regular show helper was unavailable.

    To tell the rest of the story: I countered your offer with two free boxes with the brick for $125, and your option to take the other two loose boxes for another $10 ($5 each). That's the best I could do, other than to ship $$$ out the door. And the vendor I was helping doesn't do that.

    . . . Lucky, another seller there understood the concept of moving stock and agreed on 5 free boxes with a 25-box brick of 25 Wolf 62gr 5.56 ($125). Net price was $12.50 less than it would have been from aimsurplus.
    It's funny that you mention AIM. That's where my vendor bought the Wolf 223 that we brought to the show. So now you can understand why we couldn't deal.

    The other vendor evidently got their Wolf 223 at less than the AIM price my vendor paid. In the end, it worked out for you and my vendor because we sold the rest of our Wolf at our price point, and you got a deal that made you happy. It's all good.
