If you want bargains, don't buy popular guns.

You can find some reasonable deals on PTR-91's and Sig 556's. Also, I've seen Argentinian IMBEL FAL's selling for bargain prices - $700-800 range. I also consider Glock prices quite reasonable. If you like classic and C&R revolvers, you can find some really interesting things at good prices - I'm snapping a few of these up where I can get exactly what I'm looking for. Anything "Colt" is overly expensive, now.

I think that some of the S&W 8-shot (627) .357 revolvers are good deals at about $800+/-; nicely made! I also think Belgian Hi-Powers are undervalued right now.

I'm not going to give away everything I'm currently looking for! But, here's the deal. The Fed (and Europe) is printing money faster than a racehorse on Dianabol and we are losing skilled workers every day. So, high-precision revolvers and other guns are going to jump in value at some time. You've seen what's happened to the Python. It's going to continue to happen to other high-quality firearms too.
