GUN AND KNIFE SHOW MARLBORO, MA January 28 & 29 2012
- Thread starter Moderator
- Start date
I went to the motorcycle show in Boston instead of the gun show, sounds like i made the right decision. If u think the admission price at the gun show was excessive I paid $13 to get in WITH a coupon, ($15) without! Maybe tempted to do the gun show tomorrow, glad u had a good day fred. JT

The fact you said it at all tells us all a great deal rookie. You apologized only because you got called out.![[flame]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/032.gif "Flame [flame]")
No I did it because I knew I was wrong nothing more nothing less.
I'll be there!
Check my earlier post with a pic of what my coat looks like. I'll keep an eye out for ya

Parked my car at 9am, line was wrapped around the building and was in by 9:30am. I was mainly shopping for preban handgun mags. Not much to choose from this year. I mostly window shopped after giving up on the mags. I saw a Mossberg 930 SPX that was calling my name but it was the pistol grip version which is "too evil" in MA. I hear Dick's sporting goods stores sell them? I gotta swing in to one. Oh well, at least I left only down 10 bucks!!!
As for the bar code dude, i've seen him around at previous shows and I sat with him at my club's new member orientation meeting a couple years back. Don't judge a book by it's cover, very nice dude.

What was up with the table selling the PMAGs?? I also saw way to many "preban" mags that looked like they were made yesterday. My friends and I even had a dealer try to sell us a "Mass Compliant" M&P22 pistol.
Do these people just not know, or do they have balls of steel?

K-DUB said it took her three hours to buy her new 1911-22. Glad I got my buy done early - actually managed to get my fingerprint read in under 5 seconds! That's a new record for me; it usually takes 3+ minutes of rearranging my finger to get the scanner to OK me.
I assume you're talking about the a**h*** in the SS uniform. I cannot understand what he was thinking to wear that. I'm tempted to wear a big yellow Star of David on my jacket at the next show.
Didn't see a hoodie but IIRC, I think Fooped was wearing his ZRT T-shirt.

Some don't care, some have this convoluted explanation of how the AWB really can't ban magazines. Just walk away from them - if you hear a little bell ringing in the back of your mind telling you the deal is too good to be true, pay attention to it.
I don't recall the show being anything like that crowded last time... I'll be in line by 8:15 - 8:30am tomorrow morning, probably with my 15-year-old son... see y'all there!
Don't know/don't care...
I particularly enjoyed seeing some "Glock" 33 rounders.
The only thing I ended up getting was some paracord ...

Was nice to fondle some different pistols though... I think I need a pocket pistol (e.g. LC9, BG380...).

There is some of that stuff at every gun show. Some vendors and many buyers simply don't care. You're an adult, I suspect, and are capable of making your own choices, and it's up to you to err on the side of caution. Suspicious or uncomfortable of (whatever) then don't buy it.
You are aware, that handgun compliance is a dealer problem, not yours? (unless there was some AWB issue like a "large capacity" mag involved with that pistol, but last I knew it was just an M&P clone that fired 22 LR. ) Who cares if it's not on the roster, that's effectively not your problem, legally speaking.

I didn't see any SR9cs there (Although I did see it's .40 counterpart) but that doesn't mean there weren't any. Under $350 is a tall order, considering the gunbroker average for that gun is higher than that. (most are in the high 3s, low 4s. Expecting one in MA or NH for anything less than low 4s, you might as well buy a powerball ticket, you'll have better luck. )
I saw an absolute crapload of LC9s at different dealers.
No Ruger SR1911s to be found, though. At all. If there were any there, they were gobbled up before the show opened or immediately after it opened.

You are going to reload that stuff?
Are you doing transfers for the lower group buy?

Holy moly!
Although suffering the collector's desease of being constantly broke, I'd grab this in a second.
Showed up Sat. Bought a bunch of fiddly bits from the AR guy, a bunch of fiddly bits from the Glock guy, and then got jammed up for 2 hours waiting for MIRCS. My GF purchased a Sig 1911-22LR. Prices as usual were kind of high, but convenient not having to wait for shipping and getting to hold the item in person before making the decision to buy.
I wasn't there at open on sat, but I remember the last Marlboro show before Obama's election in 2008 was an absolute nightmare. What I saw today wasn't anywhere near as bad. However, I didn't show up until 12:30pm or so.

No, GT is steel cased that's cheap enough as it is. Its just good Russian ammo for the SKS' and AKs.
I plan on reloading .204 Ruger, 7.62x54r, 8mm Mauser, and maybe .223

So this is part rant and part gun show question. My LTC expired the first week of the month. I submitted the renewal paper work in NOVEMBER. Still nothing. I spoke w/the local PO who called the state. Green lights all around. The, "Women at the state" says they are, "Just starting on the January renewals" WTF !!! So..... I have an expired LTC. I've never been to a gun show. Will I need to produce a VALID lic to handle a gun ? ( I know buying is out of the question) I realize there is other, "Stuff" to check out but in terms of guns would I be wasting my time ?
i was in a similar situation... a) you have a grace period that pertains to continued possession/carry and b) my licensing officer gave me a print out of my new application, signed and stamped, in case I needed to buy anything during the grace period. I didn't actually use it, so don't know if it would have been accepted, but the LEO seemed to think so.
Getting ready for the show, havnt showered in a couple weeks in preparation for the show but I somehow am passing the sniff test, maybe go roll around in the chicken coop for a few minutes

Individual vendors may or may not 'card' you if you ask to handle a gun - it's their policy that counts.
