I picked up a nice Star BM, spare mag, and nice grips for under $300. I'm impressed, thus far.

Just saw a Sig Sauer P226 on GunBroker for less than $320.00 from a reputable seller. That is the listing price. It will likely sell for less than $350. Lot of law enforcement trade-ins out there.

I don't think we are allowed to link to open auctions.

any of the surplus firearms on the market that were made over 50 years ago

they dont make them like that anymore, all pre MIM old school quality

* fully machined
*forged steel
*wood furniture

no polymer / no plastic triggers / no plastic mainspring housing / no plastic safety lever

I like the quality of a vintage Smith & Wesson revolver from the 1960's - 1970's

Entry level AR15 rifles. I'm afraid in a few months we may look back on this summer and wonder where those deals have gone.

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but RE: the Star BM's...I've always hesitated to buy one because I'm not sure I trust the "shooter" vs. "plus" vs. "select" grading system.

Have you found the rankings to be relatively accurate?

Another vote for the Star BM.
Great little gun. One neck of a value!

How about LEO trade in G22 for slightly over $300.00. Some of these guns are in new condition.

Most Under-Priced Guns Right Now?

Very underpriced.

Most AR-15s. Even Colts can be had for under $1,000. "El Cheapos" for $500-$600.

I agree that there are a lot of entry level ARs that are VERY affordable right now.

I also feel that Walther PPQ and PPS is a tremendous value. I would not say under-priced, but people would buy them even if were $100 - $150 more. I think Walther can easily compare to H&K in quality (polymer to polymer).

I think Glock is a pretty good value as well. I guess they are priced like the equivalent of the Honda Accords they mimic in the gun world. Not too expensive, not too cheap, good quality and reliable, but no frills.
