I think it has a lot to do with wives watching what their husbands are spending and girlfriends going along thinking it'll be fun until they spend an hour and a half getting ogled and crop dusted.

Asking 60 for the G26 but he's probably flexible. I know him from IDPA and bike racing so he offered me a little discount. I would have paid the 60 in a second, its a nice setup.

I brought along one of my daughters and son-in-law. Their first immersion into the gun show sub culture. My son-in-law picked up a M&P at a fair price from a dealer. Same gun at other dealers there was $30-$50 higher.

Saw you when you where talking to drgrant my dad pulled me away before I got to say hi.
Went looking for cheap 1911 parts for the para I'm building.
Scored a ed brown rebuild kit. Dude was like how much do they go for... Umm 10$ ??? Dude tossed in a msh for free and got a hammer strut for 5$
All I need now for the frame in the leaf spring . I already had a bunch of Wilson combat internal parts .
Still can't believe the guy selling a svt 40 for 1400$ .
Saw one guy with iz 91/30 for 250$ isj and a different table had a mint Tula for 136$ .
Saw some deals and insanely over priced stuff.
My favorite shop was Hunter's Trading post. The Gal there had a veeeerrrrry persuasive personality.
She had massive amount of personality! She was also very nice to talk to

Most stuff overpriced. Kicking myself for not buying a beautiful M48 Mauser in mint condition for $285. I hesitated and someone else grabbed it.I was looking for a shield but not at those prices.
There wasnt anyone there that could touch four seasons prices on new handguns. Was looking for a SR22 $359 vs $299.
ps my shield was $414 cash out the door. last weekend.

I prefer "firmer" personalities but beggars can't be choosers.

I was looking for a shield. Last week I got an email from Stateline saying they just got 20 Ma compliant shields for $399. It's an hour drive for me so I couldn't get out there right then.
Nice meeting you!!

I was surprised how crowded it was when I got there around noon, there wasn't much of a line to get in but lots of people inside. Talked with Don at 1776 for a bit and Joe at the On Target table, good guys both. There was plenty of stuff to look at and plenty of ammo. The price for ammo was lower than at previous shows but still too high (didn't see any .22 though). Stopped by the GOAL table but 30Mauser and his lady must have left by then. Didnt really stay too long, I don't much like crowds.
How's the jerky treating your stomach? Might go tomorrow…

You have to learn to do what I do, I always carry an empty rifle case to the show, saying I am having something checked out, then if it is full when you come back who knows?
When I came back from Florida, about 2 days later a long box showed up with a Mosin Sniper, the wife said did you buy that in Florida? I said no, I knew I was going away for a couple weeks and sent it to a gunsmith to be worked on and he just sent it back - it worked!!![[rofl]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/013.gif "ROFL [rofl]")
I have use the " you have seen this before, I just changed the stock" Worked many times
it was kind of meh. we showed up late around 3:15 and got up front parking..which was my best score of the day. I didn't buy anything, my buddy bought an AR foregrip. All I can say is the guy with all the AR shit in the front left corner lost out on some coin by throwing his blankets over his shit at 4:15. I was going to drop atleast a hundo, but after doing my initial walkthrough and going back he was already done for the day. Oh well, guess I'll order online for cheaper.
I just looked at the cop, smiled, shook my head, and walked by: they have no legal nor logical justification for taking a full mag from me, especially considering the circumstances and the location. In my mind you are just silly volunteering your loaded weapon like that (and never mind the three others in my cargo pants).
But again, that's my $0.02 and YMMV.
But if your wife had her way we would have left with 2 rifles, parts to build an AR, some random Glock parts (to make my 17 pretty) and maybe a 1911 and a shotgun... Oh wait, that was all just for me, ha!
p.s. All this jerky talk makes me wish I took some of that home too.
I was working the booth with PAW today, the biometric/keypad/gunvault safes and all that crap is the vendor next to us.

They'll whack you with sales tax once you inbound it anyways so its stupid to go there thinking you'll be spared the sales tax.
