Frederick Show in review

[snavematt]

Well got there about 820, a very nice person got me in early. Everything was crazy high except for Lou at Shooters Discount. Did not see 1 AR under $2k, AKs were up there too. Lou had nice AKS for $899 and 2 UZI carbines for the same. I picked up two crates of 7.62x54R for $150 each, which even with shipping I came out a head. Was trying to sell some ammo, yes I was high but less than the vendors. Talking to a guy, I told him $8 for per box for 7.62x39, he said wow that's high, I told him to look at the table we were standing at and it was $20 a box for the same ammo. I don't get people who she'll out $2600+ for UTG decked out no name ARS, but won't pay $7 a box for wolf 223, but will pay $300 for 420 rounds of Federal. One guys said oh I can get hat cheaper online, I said good luck.

Oh well will sell some more next weekend.

Lou had a beautiful Mosin 43 for $139, I waiting about 5 minutes too long and missed it, came back to get it and the guy was doing paper work for it, uuggg

I was hoping to get a Mosin but by the time I got in there they were gone. I saw that Wolf for $20 a box. For that price i'll stake out Bass Pro and buy the premium ammo.

This hobby is full of price gouging dirtbags. Opportunistic scum for the most part. Fortunately, there are some good ones out there.

I got the Turk Mauser from shooters discount, I was think about one of those Enfields too. It was far busier than even the show right after the election.

LOL. Really. I am laying in bed drinking a beer, waiting for the NFL games to come on. I could have used a few of those 7.62x54r cases for $150.00 however. Think any will be left tomorrow?

He told me he brought 56 cases

 

[Mark75H]

He told me he brought 56 cases

56 cases of 880 or 56 tins of 440? Russian or Albanian?

880 of Russian 188 for $150 might get me up there

A 440 tin of 54r 188 sold on GB this am for $82 including shipping ... still cheap

We got there about 1:30 and there were 4 people ahead of us in line.

How was it getting in any crazy lines?

The line for tickets was very long at 10, but moved quick, by lunch time it wasn't very long.

Scored a Smith stainless .38 from shooters discount,also a garand bayonet from a lesser known maker from a guy in second building his sign said everything negotiable,so I offered 30 less and he said ok too soon I probally should have went lower like eveyone else does to me,also found lower parts kits for 69 cash with the grip.

56 cases of 880, it's Russian, now I know the guys so I got a deal, he may do like $160/880 for others

 

[psoyring]

Still were plenty of cases left this afternoon, even at the tagged price of $85 for a 440 can, that's a good deal.

Todays booty -
I did not want any of the 10/22s bad enough. And who had a bore light for the 10/22 behind the ticket taker. yea I forgot mine.
Southern Cast Bullet, picked up four different boolits.
Found out Shooters Discount is in Mt, Airy, who knew? Marvin tempted me with a P226. That CZ does not seem so nice now.
.30-06 die set.
AR pricing, those folks looked serious about those prices, I passed.
Could not move the price on a flintlock, oh well.
and I am back in the reloading, and about to be broke, picked up a
Dillon RL550B, don't ask it would break your heart.
