Indy 1500 26-28 Feb 2021

[KellyinAvon]

It looks like January has been kicked to late-February, followed by another show mid-March (12-14). More to follow I'm sure.



Welcome to the Indy 1500 Gun & Knife Show

 

[Ford97]

Glad they will be back at it, hopefully work will allow me to make it to the March one

 

[Hkindiana]

If the February is a go, then the March show is tentatively going to be rescheduled to April 16-18 (per the promoter)

 

[KellyinAvon]

Also, February is going to be in the West Pavilion. AKA the BIG room.

 

[Tactically Fat]

Don't book your hotel rooms just yet.

I'd bet it'll be cancelled soon enough.

With how bad it is out there for all things firearms related, I cannot imagine how busy that place will be.

The one in October wasn't as crazy as I thought it would be. The West Pavilion provides for some really wide aisles. By the time Saturday came around I didn't even notice the unique smell from the horses that were in there for the State Fair. I liked working a booth that's not next to the giant air-handlers like in the South Pavilion. A bunch of guys who have shot guns for years? Yeah we can't hear anything when that thing is running.

Hopefully this happens. Looking forward to it.

Do what you want. But before you buy at the 1500, may I suggest that you take a road trip to Camp Perry at the CMP (Civilian Marksmanship Program) and hand pick one. Better prices and the staff there are really knowledgeable and helpful. They gain nothing rather you buy or not. They will take the time to go through the whole rifle with you and gauge the parts and answer your questions. One can also buy ammo to feed their Garand at the same time at Camp Perry. You can look the CMP up on line and get the details. Just a suggestion.

I hope this show happens, February Valparaiso show canceled, January Crown point has been moved.

This is getting tiring....

 

[TREETOP]

Fingers crossed, I've been out of parachute flares for months.

In light of the apperant accelerating cleansing of everything Trump\conservative\evil gun related after the Capitol incident, what's the over\under on this show being cancelled by the fairgrounds folks?

I'd say it's more likely to be held and packed to the rafters will people buying overpriced AR15s and 5.56 ammo.
I went the January Obama got in office and waited for 30-40 minutes to get it. I can't even imagine for this, since Biden has basically declared war on the 2A.

So if I have an extra ar should I double or triple my cost when I take it to sell?

Unless you like the guy who is buying it...

 

[KellyinAvon]

As of this moment shows are in Feb, April, June, August and October 2021

Will this be a good place to get a deal on ammo? Or am I still better off shopping online?

There will be no good deals on ammo for at very best, 2 years. More likely 4.

I got a decent stock before it just went up. Seems like those stimulus checks went to ammo for a lot of people. I thought I was paying a premium at 70 cents a round. It was over 90 cents for Winchester or a similar brand just recently.
