Someone take note of the 223/556 pricing on Saturday for me please! Maybe I'll make a trip out there Sunday if its good.
I'm looking for bulk (1000+) Brass factory ammo. Good price to me is probably between $300 - $350.
This show S*%&s!!! Its filled with junk. Stuff that folks have dragged out of the basement. The ammo is outside as usual and the prices are better at Riley s. Save the admission, take a ride to a true free state.
Live Free or Die!!!!
Well, I guess we won't count on seeing you there.
Have to give Riley's a call then. Thanks for the show review.This show S*%&s!!! Its filled with junk. Stuff that folks have dragged out of the basement. The ammo is outside as usual and the prices are better at Riley s. Save the admission, take a ride to a true free state.

Glad we didn't go now.I gave up on the Springfield shows a while back, I dont need to drive that far to get raped for parking, raped again to get in to whats basicly turned into a flea market and raped yet again on the price of food that i wouldnt feed to a pidgeon! (Not that they would they eat it).
How astute of you
I have worked at this show 5 years running. This is the first time we are not going. Why, the cost for one but mostly its stuff left over after a full season of gun shows. The Mauser guy is there that doesn't sell any rifles, boxes and boxes of seconds patches and such. Its just not a good show.
For all of you who go, enjoy, but don't expect much....you may find something but my guess is you could find more at Riley's or Collectors firearms. Just MO.

Had business out that way so went to the show. Was surprised how big the truck show was. Saw some nice big old trucks at the outside exhibition. The Gun Show itself was mediocre at best. At 8:00 on the way out the Mass Pike every other car was filled with women and had a fresh Elizabeth Warren bumper sticker.
Springfield sucks normally as far as a gun show goes, so this is probably double extra suck. If I was headed out that way I would go to the truck show and then leave.

The Big E has something like 4 or 5 gun shows a year there.
The spring one and the fall/winter one are the best.
This one is not great and the one in July or Aug. sucks.
It's way to hot in the building, no AC and most dealers are at another big show and not at that show.
EDIT: Oh sorry, I see they dropped it to 3 shows now, so the March and Oct. shows are OK, forget this one

2012 & 2013 List -SHOW-2012-AND-13
So I'm not a show aficionado, but I did attend this show. Nice call for a rainy day, and the hall was not hot at all. Plenty of different gun shops in one place. Sure the $5 for parking and then $11/person was a bummer, but there were plenty of selection.
Ruger SR22 $315
10/22 Takedown $300
Glock 19 $525
Glock 17 $499
Glock 22 $400
Plenty of 30rd AR mags for ~$25
Remington 1911 $599
At least 10 tables with AR parts, uppers, lowers, and tacti-cool add ons..
Never made it to the ammo tent
For me, a "good" show, and a must attend if you want to build your own AR15.
Not sure how the place was on Sunday, but it was a full house on Saturday.
