Did anyone find any good deals? All I have seen is how high prices are.

    As I said at the INGO booth, I wish I had a box of old Daisy BB guns. I would've painted them black , and sold them for $100 a piece. If it was black , it was EXPENSIVE.

    I was looking for a .45 to carry. I came across a really nice Taurus PT 145. Paid $325, case , spare mag, keys , everything. Little wear. Now I have my carry gun. Got this in a private sale.

    Ammo is high, and crowd was huge. Got there at 3 and no line to get in.I came in off 46th street and parked in the infield. It was a zoo.

    I went with money to buy a rifle. My holy grail is a CAR-15 clone or AR 15 sporter with carry handle.. I saw several ranging from $2900.00 to $1500.00. I passed on everyone . It's just not worth it. Maybe I'm getting old. I just think I've got everything I need so there was never any pressure to buy one.

    I bought a new Ruger SR9 at the show for $400. Based on pricing I've seen elsewhere, I feel like I got a pretty good deal. So now I have to ask you all did I? :)

    Didn't find much that I was looking for and what I did find was pure sticker shock. I was hoping to get a keltec sub 2k and the only two I saw were $1100. Sigh. It was fun poking around though.

    Is it worth the drive from Terre Haute to go Tomorrow? Also, i am looking for 9mm ammo (along with the rest of the state) were there any deals on 9mm or any ammo at all?

    You should check out your Gander Mountain out there before making the drive here. I was at the Castleton (Indy) store Thursday afternoon and they received a shipment of a lot of ammo. I was there for 223/556; of which they did not have. They only received ten boxes of 20 rounds for a total of 200 rounds, but that sold out immediately.

    I bought .40 caliber and paid $23 per box of 50; the Winchester white box stuff.

    They seemed to have plenty of 9 mil for a similar price.

    223 was priced at $7.99 or $9.99 for a box of 20 if they would have had it.

    I saw plenty other pistol caliber stuff there too. They carried plenty of Hornady, Blazer, Speer and others early Thursday afternoon.

    Great show for me so far.

    Sold 2 ar15 for almost 3 times what I paid. Will go back tomorrow with either another ar15 or a scar 17.

    There was a guy in the very back room selling Pmags for $30. Not exactly a deal but he was $10-30 cheaper than everyone else.

    CFE223, $25 OTD per pound, didn't seem unreasonable.
    Brick of Sniper Sub Sonics, $46OTD

    Ammo cans didn't raise in price. .41 mag brass didn't seem to increase, $20 for 100 new Starline. 5.56 sure as hell did though.

    I picked up 3 17rnd Gmags for $110 - a couple nice ammo cans for $15 each - picked up 4 boxes of Hornady 110gr TAP URBAN 308 win for $115 - got a hug and snuggle from Payton Patron - picked up a fits all holster $20 - not to bad of a day - only price gouging on anything I was interested in was I talked to a private individual that had a Armalite AR10T stock lower cut 20" ss barrel to 18" and put a brake on with a $100 ff hand guard -$4200! - I think I pissed him off because I chuckled when i asked if he was serious -

    We got through the line at 0850 this morning and were checking in our guns when I saw the LEO who checked mine grab a sack of PMags. I asked what he paid for them and he paid $120 for 8 of them and they were going for $20 for one :rockwoot:

    I then asked where and he said not to even bother. He said his buddy stood in line and there were only 4 left after he got done there and that was at 0815 :(

    Other than that, I did not see too many "great" deals, but a few decent deals, just not what I was looking for.

    Two 15 round Witness 10mm mags for $35 each. Other than that nothing I saw that I couldn't get elsewhere cheaper.
