I too left with ballistol, cr123s and disappointment. As far as firearms go it was a let down. Dexter and Brian probably had the best table as far as diversity and selection. But hey, if your looking for Swiss army knife and leatherman knockoffs, ammo cans, and paracord your in heaven. All kidding aside I appreciate the effort, after all A gun show is better than NO gun show.

Exactly. I try to think of the gun show as more of a "tactical accessories show". That way I'm never really disappointed. 

Speaking of which, did you pick up the 10 cr123s for $20 at the Fenix table?  Hell of a deal in my opinion.

Some Ballistol, 7.62 and .40 ammo here. Oh yeah, my daughter got some of the paracord stuff, that's about it.

I was looking for AK furniture, and maybe a deal on a 10/ 22 or another 9mm, but was a bust. To be honest , I didn't need any of the stuff I bought, but had to justify my time with something.

As already mentioned, better than nothing...

got some 22lr, small pistol primers, and some cheap camo bushwhackin' pants. The 12 gauge federal 00 in the ammo can for $99 was tempting. It's funny cause the sale prices here are like normal prices in the other states.

Saw Lingle and Djou there.  So, do they warrant a vote?

Man, I really want (NEED) that 16" barrel DAS FAL that was Diamond Head side middle near the food kiosk that was going for $1000...

I don't have $1000 to spend and I don't know much about FAL's but I want one.... I gotta rehearse "Heh bro nice FAL..would you take $700?"

I hope it's there tomorrow.......at the same time, I hope it's not..... :(

I sold 4 rifles, 1 handgun, 2 Randall knives, a couple of bayonets, a case of MRE's, AR magazines and a lot of smaller stuff today.   Most of that stuff was gone by noon.   Unfortunately, I don't have very many other guns I want to sell, so we'll see what happens tomorrow.

I'm sorry to hear that a number of people considered the show a bust, but tables are available to anyone so go right ahead and buy a table for next year and sell a ton of $100 10/22's, $300 AK's, $500 Garands, $300 1911's or whatever you've got--you'll find plenty of takers.  What's that you say, you don't want to sell your mint-condition boxed 6.5" barreled S & W .44 Magnum?  Well duh, that's why you won't find many at the gun show (I've sold 2 nickeled 8.375" M-29's with the hardwood box over the past few years, but if I find another one I may just keep it). 

On the other hand, I have seen the same old scopes, rifles or pistols on the same guys' tables for years and nothing gets sold.  They don't seem to care if they sell anything or not, and most of the time they're talking story with their pals. some of whom they only see every 6 months.  Whatever, it's a free country, move on to the next table.

X ring was busting ass today--they were constantly busy (or so it seems on the few times I was able to get away from my table).  So was SEC--they were blowing out cases of 5.56.   Other tables had good deals of firearms, the fact that I had no personal interest in owning them didn't detract from the fact that there were some good deals out there.

Come on and check it out tomorrow--you never know what you might find!

Yeah I did, it was a great deal. I'm a die hard surefire guy but Fenix having their own table was pretty cool. The ballistol table was pretty cool as well.

Who's going to the gunshow tomorrow?

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

I'm probably going back to pick up a couple more things. Didn't find any buried treasure but was going over the haul tonight and realized the price at the door was definitely worth it.

What kind of 22lr sales can be had at the show?
