There are also a lot of places that don't sell stuff very fast and just haven't had to replace it recently. My prices change rapidly because we move products rapidly. $30 for W231 is a great price (that is actually below wholesale today), but I'd be amazed if the powder was made recently. It's...
We actually get people that request them. Small pistol primers are much more available and less expensive. The key is to buy them pre-sorted in large quantities and just keep them separated. For people that do small lots, it's probably not worth the time though.
We have them in stock, but they are new stock. Unfortunately, that means they are at 2024 prices. It looks like the other links posted are at last year's prices. Last year's retail price is this year's wholesale price...
It's still a pretty new show, so I'm not sure what to expect. The first 2 shows were once a year. This will be the first time a gun show has been done in the spring at this location. Previously, we were only able to schedule them in the middle of summer, during the slow season.
That being said...
They are just rebranded Unis Ginex primers. Sometimes they literally just put Cam Pro stickers on the Ginex boxes. I believe Prvi Partizan uses them, if I'm not mistaken.
$69 for a pound of Unique is insane right now. We just sold out a couple days ago, but we were selling it for $51.41 + tax (which I still think is high).
Yes, powder prices have gone up dramatically. Unfortunately (I really hope I'm wrong about this), I expect powder prices to at least double...
They don't have to do that. There were license plate readers and cameras installed all around the fairgrounds by the Lake County Sheriff's Department. They can do it from the comfort of an office building. They were made famous during "Operation Scarecrow".
^^^ This.
SWAT style raids are probably unnecessary about 90% of the time they are used. Many times they have the potential to make the situation much more dangerous. 50 or 60 years ago people would be appalled at the tactics used by law enforcement today.
The failed war on drugs made the...
You guys are making me feel old.
The federal background check system was implemented in 1998. I still remember the days of filling out a much more simple 4473 and just walking away. There was even a spot on the form where the dealer could put "known to me" and not put the ID. Dealers would put...
Obsolete? It's not even that old. I still carry a P7M8, it's even older. Many people I know still carry 1911s. It doesn't matter what you're carrying as long as it is reliable and comfortable for you.
The Indiana department of revenue actually goes to shows, including the 1500, and checks the vendors to be sure they are collecting Indiana sales tax (at least they used to back when I set up there). If they aren't collecting tax, they are happy to help you fill out the proper paperwork.
There have been several different promotors at that venue over the last 40 years. The one doing it now is the same promotor that was doing it up until 2001, when the military cancelled all the shows after 9/11 for awhile. There was at least one other promotor during the post-9/11 era for a few...
It's been the same promotor since it was in the armory about 20 years ago, then moved to the fairgrounds. I'm not sure what old guy you're referring to.
