Indy 1500 23-25 Aug 2019

Wait, what?? Freak show?? OK some were wrapped too tight for a gun show. Probably wrapped too tight for New Orleans, or Orleans.

Yeah but Charlie don't surf.

 

[KokomoDave]

Have a great Sunday show! Wish I could be there but don't wanna risk someone bumping into me making my neck worse right before surgery on the 3rd...

 

[Haven]

Really wanted to go, but had to watch the kids to give Mrs. Monkey a day off, and just couldnt justify $20 just to wander around that freak show.

It would have been only $12, I would have picked up the parking.

Seemed like a pretty light crowd on Saturday. I went with a nephew and a couple of his pals. 3 of us had guns to sell but no one was interested.

Last time I had a gun to sell there it was gone 15min after I walked in the door. Maybe I'll have better luck in Nov if I still have the gun then.

I saw A LOT of bulk ammo going out the door. The place with the $229 AR kit (everything but the stripped lower) sold a metric crap-ton. A lot of long guns out the door.

Boring show! A lot of the same dealers as always with the same guns at the same ridiculous prices. A lot of used guns at or close to new prices. There were hardly any guns that I could not best the price with a quick search at Bud's Guns. Sorry, maybe better luck next time...

I went Saturday morning and it wasn't too crowded. Looked around and all I bought was $10 in raffle tickets for a Henry Golden Boy. I was looking for a lower with a closed trigger guard and only saw one of those Libtard lowers. On the way home I stopped at Atkinson's and they had two so I don't have to look any more... and I got a call this afternoon that I won the Henry. Woot! Turned out to be a good weekend.

I walked past that ar kit booth so many times. And that shop at the far left (from the door) that had inexpensive uppers. It was hard not to leave with one.

Does anyone have one of those kits? How is it in comparison to psa?

I can go with Friday close at 1900, 0900 Saturday would've been MUCH easier too.

Which vendor. I may know the people.

I didn't catch a name. The signs were green and they had completed uppers for like $250.

They were also at the nra convention thing.

 

[Chalky]

I think the boxes said Durkin Tactical?

I enjoyed this show more than the past few i have been too. Maybe it was just what I was looking for or something. Always have a few SMH moments, but felt like there were some things reasonably priced.

 

[Dean C.]

Good show, picked up a Leupold Delta Point Pro 2.5 MOA dot for my P320 from Kinzies. Now I just have to wait on my mounting plate to arrive from Springer Precision. Also picked up some Speer Lawman 147gr practice ammo for like $10 a box.

I was there on Sunday. I had not been to one since last winter. Was it me, or was this show pretty light, traffic wise?

It had it's moments. But there were long portions of all 3 days that it was ghost town.
