TigerMoses 31 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 I saw this in a smaller, older gun store in Conroe, Texas today. I was too in shock to even ask about it. Two days after gun ban list came out, so I don't know if it was maybe just $2000 last week. Sorry about image orientation, it previewed thumbnail in normal orientation Quote Link to post Share on other sites
haugpatr 972 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 They could at least make a new price tag for it, instead of allowing people to see they jacked up the price by 6K on an already over priced gun! You should go in there "shopping" for a .308 and see what kind of sales pitch they give you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patriot 7,197 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 It's mis-labeled. That's a 24th century phased plasma rifle, 40 watt, with an auto rangefinding and auto-targeting optic. It has to be stolen. It's proscribed weaponry in the 24th century. Only the most elite of the immortal Emperor Obama's secret government assassins are permitted to use them.

SaigaGuy453 6 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Looks like the bottom number was $825 then someone squeezed in a 0, scribbled it out, then rewrote it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 I like saiga .308 rifles... But, you would have to be out of your mind (or in the middle of a zombie attack with one halfway up your leg) to pay that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ColoradoKLR650 4 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Hey, some tacticool mall ninja is going to buy that and feel great about it...and the shop is going to feel even better. If you've seen any pawn shop show on TV, this shouldn't surprise you. If they didn't think they were going to sell it, they wouldn't price it like that...and they know their clientele. That being said I'd be willing to be we're not seeing everything...maybe the scope really is a couple grand? Maybe the rifle was completely rebuilt? Match grade barrel?When you're rich, the price doesn't matter as much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sdustin 578 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 This is a price that says I don't want to sell it. Or it's a rebuilt transferable machine gun from a registered ak reiciver. I would never set a foot in that store and I'd ask for the owner and tell them why. There's two main gun store in my town and one has stayed pricing their stuff at the right price. The other has been selling 75 round packs of 7.62x39 for 129.99 and aluminum GI ar mags for 40 bucks. I can tell you which store will be out of business in a couple of years from now.

esminbritt 16 Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 As the owner this establishment, I feel it unfair the the OP neglected to disclose the fact that this rifle came as part of a package that included a Russian mail-order bride and a bottle of Kalashnikov vodka. I mean...COME ON. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matthew Hopkins 1,065 Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 I don't know why you guys are bitching about the price, 8K for a rifle that defies gravity is a bargain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
