Lots of black stocked rifles out there today. You kinda have to admit, while not the prettiest girl in the room, most are far better accuracy wise. Wasn't all that long ago a rifle shooting a 1/2" group at 100 yds was a keeper. Now they're shooting tighter groups at 600 yds. I have a few AR uppers. Two are one hole shooters and the 7.62x 39 upper I built shoots tiny cloverleafs at 100 yds. Who'd a thunk a 7.62x 39 could be such an accurate round.
I hear ya about pistols. I shoot more pistol than anything. A lot of these tupperware pistols shoot wider patterns than most shotguns...and the shooter is happy with that. If they can keep it on the full size human target at 15 feet, why they're a regular Wyatt Earp. I've shot a lot of real good shooters and I've shot some that should be called paper weights. Thankfully, I guess I'm experienced enough that for most of my pistols, I'm capable of making them run right. And let's not get started on the Rambo types that think they need a 100 round mag in a semi auto for a carry gun. Some of these bozos I think are dangerous. Apparently they think a confrontation goes down and it lasts for a couple of hours. They certainly don't want to run out of ammo.
I only go to a gun show when I want to move something. Prices are far better at my local gunshop and if there's a problem, he's real easy to find and willing to make it right. You can always find somebody at a gunshow that's willing to pay more for your gun than I think it's worth. They're usually walking around and talking loud.Yeah, I'll play on loud mouths ego and he'll over pay every time....but he thinks he looks good doing it.
