[prw302]

Would like to hit this show today, but I have other things I have to do, so might hit it up tomorrow. Would y'all please post how the show was today to see if it is worth the trip. I would appreciate it.

If anyone is up there yet what is the line like?

Standing in line now, it's all zigzagged in the lobby and runs out the lobby door.

^this but on the bright side it was the first time in a long time that me and my son had time together and we had a good time. He was able to get a Kel Tec PF-9 and horror of horrors it was done in just a couple of hours, not 3 weeks like us MD'ers

Everything was overpriced and 1/4 of the tables were empty. One row was missing completely. Big WTF?

What the... I can get a new Colt for $2k.

Thanks for the info though, appreciate it.

 

[username]

I was hoping that an AR might be cheaper at a show.

Local gun store has Colts for $2k...

Really depended on what you were looking for. I got up here about 11 am, short but quick line to get in. Not shoulder - to-shoulder crowded; lots of vendors and individuals selling AR 15/mini 14 hi cap mags; ammo was available including 7.62 x 39, just no ' deals'.

Despite the table of Yugo SKS's for $499, I found an all-matching (including the stock) early 6 digit Model 56 Chinese SKS (Sino-Soviet era) in VG condition for a lot less than that! Pictures tonight after I clean it up. Also grabbed a laminated Yugo SKS stock for $30.

I thought it was the best show i've been to since the panic hit for C&R stuff.

Didn't see a single 10/22 mag at the show, and i was there before 9am. If I heard "ANY BX-25's??" once, I heard it 1000 times. I didn't even have to ask, every table i walked up to someone was asking the same question. The boat has sailed away until the backorders are filled.

Not the time to buy an AR or AK if you're looking for a deal, so the prices were no different than the other shows. Outrageous is one word that comes to my mind, but I understand the panic, so more power to the buyers and sellers who can play.

This show had way more C&R than the other area shows. Crates of Mosin 91/30's for 150, and they were cheaper on smaller tables. There wasn't a hex receiver at the show, but a nice assortment of M44's at $250. Lots of SKS's fresh from crates too. Prices seemed to start in the low 400's for the rougher ones, but there were quite a few for sale this morning. Many of the nicest were $650+

Anyone else see the Jeep wreck infront of the building before 9am? INSANE!!

 

[Hi-Torque]

And when I say "lots of C&R", I mean lots for this size show put on in the past couple months.

Slim pickins at a higher price in comparison to a year ago.

I got there around 0910 this morning and stood in line for about 20 minutes. It was packed, and not much to be had that was reasonable. I TRIED to pick up a Mosin, but after waiting for 3 hours for the dealer to be able to get through to PICS, I told him to just call me when the background check was done and I would come back tomorrow. Still no call yet.
