Gun Show at the Stout Armory

[YugoGo]

Never been to the shows they have there and was wondering if it was even worth the time to travel over there. Any one have any thoughts? Looking for AK mags and other odds and ends and maybe find someone to take an old 410 bolt action I have no use for.

The show is sold out, around 220 tables. I know that there will be at least 3 dealers with a good selection of magazines (including me). There are always people looking to buy as well.

I always enjoy this one and usually find something of interest at a fair price. Even when I strike out , the thrill of the hunt is part of the fun. Looking forward to it.

Any reports from the show?

I went yesterday and enjoyed it. Pretty good show. Lots of overpriced items, but deals to be found if you look. Of course, this was my first Indiana gun show, so experienced Hoosiers may have a different opinion, but it was a fun way to spend 90 minutes and it only cost $5 to get in.

I've been to Stout Field a few times pre pandemic.

Pros Easy to get to, not over crowded. No lines, Couple tables with decent prices on ammo and reloading stuff

Cons, most tables with guns were over priced. (but that was getting everywhere)

Coming off the spike we have just went through not sure how thats gonna play out

I went yesterday and it was pretty busy. Ammo was still over-priced, i'm starting to see a lot of 9mm online for 25-30 a box so the dealers there selling the 9mm for 40-50 or more a box need to get real. There were actually a couple dealers with decent ammo prices, I picked up a couple boxes of 9mm. The tables were way too close it was hard for two people to even pass each other in the aisles. There weren't too many older used guns there which is what I tend to look for but I did see some deals, saw a decent S&W M64 for 389.00, not a bad price. I still saw a lot of raggedy AR's for 1K, again the prices for those are falling too.

I went, it was definitely worth the $5 and some walking around. Prices were not good but this is the first show I have been to post pandemic. I was disappointed in the lack of AK (maybe 5-10) and combloc mags available, none.

Thank you for the PPK/S magazines.

The isles were really tight at the show, but it was the first show I have been to since 2019. I was only looking for magazines. Though I did think about a second Heritage Rough Rider for some fun plinking, but skipped it.

I saw some ok prices for the current economy, and awful prices on guns depending, nothing great though.
