Does anyone know the name of the vendor who is on the far left (as you walk in) wall? He had the largest stock of AR15 parts. I'd like to get in touch with him if possible.
I don't know his name, but I'm going back today and I'll get his info for you.
I saw 3 guys at the Remsport table - I didn't talk to any of them, I only did a quick look thru at what they had. The owner is the bald headed guy - whose name escapes me at the moment. He was talking with a couple of guys about AR barrels when I came thru. There was one guy who was just sort of sitting on a chair over near the Glock stuff - he seemed to me like he was a little overwhelmed by the crowd.
Seems like a long shot, but do any dealers have AR lowers at these shows?
.308 stripped lowers in particular.
Last minute bargains?
The bald headed guy is John and to my knowledge he is not the owner. Ron who is the president and I believe is the owner has always been nice when I have been to Remsport. As someone else said he may have been overwhelmed by the crowd. If I remember correctly John was alone at the last show there. I did not see a 3rd person when I was there. Maybe it was this third person that was lacking customer service skills when dealing with large crowds?
I can feel the love man.

Thank you to Len and show report.
Len, I stopped and spoke with you at the GOAL table and you could not have been more helpful. I asked you a question about FFL licenses/sales and about pre-ban hi capacitiy magazines. You examined the magazines I purchased and provided me with peace of mind.
My first gun show as I got my LTC about four months ago. I picked up some nice accessories (mags, cleaning supplies, cheap Russion ammo, speeed loaders a few other odds and ends) and a carry holster. I bought the Thunderwear (if anyone has seen that) and really like it. Used it over the weekend for my first conceal carry and it was really comfortable. My pants fall down with a belt w/out carrying - I just couldn't see how an IWB could work for me. This is a good solution for my needs.
Anyway, I enjoyed the show. Speaking with Len and his willingness to educate me a little bit was the icing on the cake.
I was working on Saturday with Kid Presentable at the Southborough Rod and Gun Club table. For us we had a lot of interest in the club and hopefully recruited a few new members. I did get to walk around a bit but did not find anything worth buying. I did fall in love with a preban AR in 9mm but couldn't spend the money for it. I was upset to only see the S&W M&P 15-22 and not the Ruger SR22 as I really want one of those. But overall I had a good morning/early afternoon people watching from the booth.
Sorry that I didn't recognize you and stop to chat. I was talking with Hunter46spring within a few feet of your table for a long time at the show on Saturday.
I went Sunday - my first show.
First impressions - had trouble finding it, too much traffic, the biggest city I go into is Fitchburg normally.
The parking lot isn't very well kept and had to park in the far lot - just lots of people.
Got to the door, forgot my $1 off so I paid the $10
I saw the guy on the left side with all the crates marked M855 LC - SWEET, I thought I can get some easy; not so much, just the crates and ammo cans
I found another guy selling PRVI M855 in 200rd 'Battle Packs' for $100 > Now at $110 spent
Looked around so a nice Benelli tactical for $1500 I think - passed, but didn't want to.
Saw a Mossberg Persuader for $300 - passed, but again didn't want to.
Found the folks out of Sutton with three S&W M&P 15-22's - they were down to two after I was done >Now at ~$640 spent
Well my son will be happy on his birthday (May 7yo), I should have the Trijicon RX30 on it by then.
So would I go to a gun show again - YES
Would I go to this show again - NO, Probably will go to Manchester, NH next year.
