Unhappy Did I get ripped on my new HK USC?

I recently fell in love with the USC and bought one at a local So Cal gunshop for $1799. I didnt really look around but I'm finding them out of state for $1300! I realize there is supply and demmand but did I just get ripped?

Alot of out of state vendors dont want to sell to CA folks. If you bought a Cali compliant USC here, you made the right choice IMHO.

Yeah...some day you will think that the price that you paid was cheap and you will wish that you purchased more of them. Not a bad move on your part, I think.

Don't sweat a couple of bucks. It happens. I happen to think you got a great deal. Enjoy your new toy.

Meh, dont worry about it. Personally, I wouldnt spend that much on a pistol-caliber carbine, but all this off-list stuff can command a premium in CA sometimes. My friend pay 600 for a WASR-10.

I am sure I will enjoy my new baby. I realize this isn't an investment but a luxury. Just trying to figure out if this is the norm or coul I have saved myself a bundle.

I got mine from a guy on HKPro.com for $1050 who needed fast cash. Just got lucky I guess. No worries, Bros., I've done worse.

Dude, when you're buying HK there's no such thing as overpriced.

Because you suck, and we hate you.
