First local Gun show in my area since I have been Vaccinated for Covid. Son and I intend to go Saturday if the creeks don't rise! Don't expect to see much at reasonable prices considering the current climate - but? Anyone else going?
Son and I were planning to go--- but not sure with all the warnings. I'm 78 but in pretty good health now not sure there will even be a show. At my age with wife (77) and on oxygen nor really sure I should go even if it is open??
I recently purchased a complete 450 upper from Bear Creek. I have a couple of 5.56 AR's, and a Grendel AR as well as a AR10. I also have an extra lower so not sure at this time if I will build up the extra lower or just convert one of the 5.56's.
However I need to purchase a few Mag followers...
Just read in local online Newspaper that there were two "accidents" in Boone County. Both sound painful.

Son and I intended to attend the Kokomo Gun Show today. Last evening we decided to call it off after the first 2-4" of snow had fallen and more forecast. Looking out this morning, glad we did.
Well at least there is another show scheduled next weekend at Lafayette (Jan 6 and 7th). Hopefully we...
I am thinking about assembling an AR15 in 6.5 Grendel.. I bought 3 AR lower receivers a few years ago, just finished one in 5.56 Wylde and have all the parts for a second in same caliber. I thought I would assemble the third in the Grendel. Started looking at options and Bear Creek has assembled...
My son and I attended the Kokomo Gun show yesterday (Sat 10/22/17), thought I would give a heads up to those who may attend, or others that are interested. First 22LR ammo, prices dropped WAY down, and appears supplies are way up. Typical prices were around $30 / 500pc brick. I purchased a brick...
Heard on the news that a homeowner in Carmel shot and killed an intruder this AM.
Police: Indy homeowner shoots, kills intruder on northeast side | Fox 59
This should be no legal problem for the homeowner from the news I heard, but I'm sure it will be very hard to forget. They reported the...
Just read the manual on the ArmaLite AR50A1B rifle I purchased. It states the tracer and Armor piercing rounds cause excessive barrel wear. As the 50 match rounds are quite expensive, I have been trying to determine "how much" the AP and tracer rounds do wear the barrel. Also curious as to what...
Son and I have been wanting a 50BMG for several years ~ prices kinda kept us from purchasing. I finally ordered one from a Michigan dealer on Gunbroker.
I have a new ArmaLite A50A1B ordered. Still have to order the Optics, bi-pod etc.. It should be delivered to my local FFL next week. We do...
As has happened several times in the last year, there are TWO gun shows in my local area, Tipton and Lafayette. Luckily for me my son, who normally attends with me has changed jobs and is free Sat and Sun, so we will attend both!
I try to attend every Gun Show held in my local area. I consider Tipton, Kokomo, Lafayette, Lebanon "local" shows as well as some popup shows in other cities within 30-40 mile of Frankfort. In January 2017 there was not a Gun Show in any of these venues.
Come February 4th, there are three on...
Couple of years ago I built up a LR-308 lower and assembled it with a purchased upper. Over the last year I decided to stock up on some AR lowers (already have 2 in my stash) and finish up at least one AR. I have promised one to my son as he also is intending to build a second AR. I had seen...
Sunday night about 9:00 PM, two of my sons and one DIL visited my home. Kinda of wondered what they were doing out so late, but one of my son's handed me a Henry Silver Boy he just purchased to show me. So great, I admired the rifle and handed it back, then he handed me a Kimber Solo. I had...
Went to the Kokomo Gun show on Sunday. My son, a friend and I were wandering around looking, occasionally going out for a Cig break, when about 1:00 ~ 1:30 the entire building went black!
We maneuvered our way out of the building and sat in my van smoking for about a half hour, noticing all...
Apparently some local liberal LEO's decided to destroy firearms turned in by citizens, Arizona already has a State law that requires all Police departments to sell confiscated weapons instead of destroying them. Some of the local departments said they could destroy weapons turned in because they...
Just ran into this - his belt buckle sure made his day brighter. Maybe its time for me to get one of the BIG trucker style belt buckles! http://news.yahoo.com/video/stray-bullet-hits-mans-belt-041736136.html
The video doesn't start out as much - but the guy has a real nice assortment of firearms hidden in plain sight! http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=1pYqquG27pg
