ive seen guns that are at exactly brand new MSRP for like $800, usually sold on many popular and well known sites for under $600 brand new, and easily avaliable with every site and store having stock of them, being sold on guns dot com for $1300 used and it comes with a free amazon red dot and a chinese foregrip. what a deal

Please tell me what website you can find decent deals on

You can sift through all the different sellers on GunBroker or GunDeals, etc. I tend to just go directly to Family Firearms or Bud's Gun Shop, as they seem to have the best prices, generally. I've bought from both, and picked them both up within a week at my FFL.

just look up on google the gun you want + gundeals and itll take you to the gundeals website, which shows you what store has stock of the gun, and what price theyre at on the site. Look into the sites first on reddit, especially on r/gundealsFU to see if theyre good or not. a few like battlehawk armory, Dahlonega armory, etc. while not *actual* scams, tend to have really bad CS, extremely long shipping times, non existant return policies, etc. but they usually list the absolute cheapest prices by like $20-$30 so they always show up at the top.

Dude, I got the Academy Black Friday deal, the Rough Rider revolver with the Texas Star wood grips for $104.99, then sent in for the $25 rebate thru Taurus!

It was too good to pass up!

I love shooting mine. It's so fun, and it has been my and my friends' favorite I bring every time.

But not on sale, they list for like $199 new at Academy... so people are crazy and list used for slightly less.

The pawn shops are crazy too... I stopped in one yesterday and looked at a used Walther PPK. They had it tagged $750... a couple of weeks ago at Bass Pro Shop, they had new ones on sale for $699, but not on sale, $899... so everyone seems to go check prices at the most expensive big box stores, then sets their used price slightly lower I guess.

Because people are stupid and think their shit is worth waaaaay more than it is.

I’ve only gone to one gun show in my life, hated it because people were selling things way over MSRP. Even that little wire gun .22 was selling for $400

I’ve been to guns shows all over the country over the last 30 or so years. They used to be good, one could find some sweet deals and even buy firearms for cash face to face. Since Covid they’ve mostly gone to shit. The Feds have scared the crap out of people regarding background checks and people now think their pos gun and their ancient ammo are worth their weight in gold or some shit.
