A few hundred with no issues. That said they were not +P rounds but target rounds. Much cheaper to practice drawing and hitting center mass with target ammo.

Three Foot Johnson Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 We had a loudmouth who used to shoot with us, and he brought a friend into the game. The friend needed guns for his family, so Loudmouth approached me about buying some. I quoted him some prices, and he replied with something like, "Oh, b******t, I know you didn't pay anywhere near that much for them" - he's right, but when I bought them 15 years ago, decent used Vaqueros could often be had for under $300. He told his friend, "C'mon, we're not buying anything from this crook, I know where we can get some of those for under $400"... I pulled out my wallet and offered him $500 for every one he brought me. He didn't bring me any. I've also always wondered what a person means when they post a "want to buy" ad, and specify, "must be reasonable" or "must be affordable". I guess if you have a pair of .357 SASS Vaqueros for sale and they only have $900 to spend, they expect you to "be reasonable" and take a thousand dollar loss, because that's "The Cowboy Way"...

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Another shooting related issue where people constantly lie or are living the the 1960's is the cost of reloading. One of the favorite questions on many reloading sites is "how much does it cost to reload a box of shotgun shells?" With the cost of buying components NOW it is around $7 to $8 bucks a box. Some nitwit will always come on and say their cost is on $2.37. If they will even answer questions on how this can be the typical answer is "I found a half a bag of crusty oxidized shot at one garage sale, a box of primers with 67 primers still in the box at another, an opened can of forty year old Red Dot that was at least half full and some 50 year old Alcan wads I found at an estate sale." In this day and age no one can reload a box of shotshells for $2.37. PERIOD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Gun Jimmy Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Just curious about how to price guns, Do you guys look at a % off new Do you look for value? What's the criteria of a good deal? Not a "steal" but a good deal? Like a have a Jerry Miculek .45ACP wheel gun. It was $980 new when I bought it. Shot maybe 50rnds through it, what's it worth? Certainly not $500 ...Certainly not $980. What makes it solid priced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I always check True Gun Values and a couple of sales sites then apply the "how bad do I want one" factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four 625 JM's on Gunbroker have sold in the past two months for $999.99, used + $31.99 shipping, $980.00, used + $40 shipping, $1100.00, used + "actual shipping cost", and $1025.00, new-old-stock + "actual shipping cost".

And it might be worth 980 if they have went up since you bought it. Just depends on the market.

I shot one a couple of years ago and fell in love. Then the silliness happened and it all went downhill from there. I am not sure it will happen but I hope at some point Gun Prices dip back down to a more reasonable level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.D. Daily Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Budget PSA AR-15 complete uppers are pretty robust. Iraqveteran8888 did full auto torture test on a high end AR-15 uppers & high end full auto class 3 dealer sample 100% US parts AK47. They borrowed an M-4 lower from a dealer to run the AR-15 uppers. They had a picnic table piled high with std. capacity mags & 60 round drum mags to run the full auto endurance tests. The result was the PSA upper ran almost as long as the expensive upper & the AK47 didn't fair any better. The AR's ran until the gas tube burst. The PSA upper had AR-15 gas block & plastic handguard. The handgurad was in flames way before the gas tube burst. The high end upper had an aluminum free floating handguard. That upper had the same failure mode as the PSA upper. My 1st AR build was an AR-10 in 2014 using high end parts. Since then I have built 3 AR-15's from stripped lowers. One Anderson & two PSA's. One of the PSA's is a Biden "Dog Face Pony Soldier" limited edition. It's tricked out with a Fostech Echo II binary trigger & Law Tactical folding stock adapter. The cost of the trigger & the folding stock adapter was as much as high expensive uppers. When I am realty pissed off, I load up a Magpul 60 round drum, 2 Smizer 60 round stick mags & a couple of std mags. Then screw my Banish 30 can on it & walk to my range & punish the six 3/8" AR500 1/2 size targets. It is great & relieving stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
