What did everybody get and what were the best deals on guns there that you saw!

 

[Tactical Dave]

ESSE-4, some Winchester Ranger T series ammo.... got deals on both. I did not see any killer gun deals, just saw some fair prices.... but did not look at many guns.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

There sure ain't no good deals . . . oh, wait, that's not true at all.

Mostly odds and ends, gunsmithing gear, first aid stuff, some snake oil, some .22lr tracer, some .45acp brass, a repro Smith ad sign for the armoury. Only two guns:

Smith 1899 Hand Eject made in 1916, call it Fair, it's about 60% bluing left but mechanically (to my untrained eyes and hands) perfect.

Smith Outdoorsman, made 1940. Call it Very Good condition.

Into both Smiths at 1/6th the 2009 blue book, could be 1/7th or 1/8th now. 1/6th is where I like to be as the Smiths will only go up. Now I just have to decide whether to rebuild the 1899 HE. Maybe for a nephew?

Lots of good guns to get deals on but managed to hold off (did everyone see the sweet Smith Model 43 and the nickel Smith M17. The earth moved for me, but I couldn't get in them where I like to be. Besides, I had to drop off shotguns (my are state of the art 1995) to upgrade and have an AR-15 kitted out.

 

[hoosierdoc]

Are those toothbrushes the first aid equipment?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Gunsmithing stuff, funny guy.

 

[drgnrobo]

Nice vintage Smith & Wessons

 

[Outlaw]

Picked up some odds and ends, and Tannerite!! I was so excited I rushed home and invited some buddies over to try it out, and it is awesome!

 

[spitfire51]

Got myself a Springfield 1991 mil-spec model from the PSS table. Had to resist Bob's offer to take $20 off the price in exchange for my INGO hat. Hopefully I'll be hitting the range early next week to try it out, can't wait!

 

[Chance]

Almost made it out the door

Got my primers (WW for $27/1000), cast bullets, priming tool and almost made it to the door and then I saw....a guy with a M44 on his shoulder. $80 and it was mine! It's a 1944 Izhevsk. Something new to play with. Could believe he sold it for that.

 

[alluwant]

That's a pretty awesome find m44 for 80 bucks I'll give you 85 lol

 

[pinshooter45]

Got some Varget for $24.00, Natchez has it for 21 but add shipping and hazmat pretty close, 250 69grn .224's for $52.00 and finally 420 rnds of LC green tips 5.56 for $149.00. Missed some tins of 8mm for $95.00 guy sold out. Finally met Richard Mourdock, and Mike Pence.

 

[turnerdye1]

Thought i got a few deals...
1000 rds Wolf 223 - 200
New Pmags - 10
Big Ass Ammo Can - 12 (with good seal)
Lee Hand Prime and Shell Holder - 20
Bad Lever - 29
Small Pistol Primers - 28

 

[Chance]

50 cal cans were expensive!

$12 ea! We can get them around here for $6 from a guy that buys mil surplus.

 

[SRR]

Got a Glock 19 NiB-X. Cleaning patches.

 

[Cwood]

$12 ea! We can get them around here for $6 from a guy that buys mil surplus.

Buy them while you can at that price they have gone up since the supply is drying up.

 

[partyboy6686]

I was very disappointed with the show today. There should be more gun dealers there and less non gun related bull****.

 

[jblomenberg16]

Got an MOE+ grip from CWood and Indiana Supply Depot. Picked up some belt loops for the Raven Holster I had made last spring at the 1500. A few muzzle covers for my AR's, and some Muzzle covers for my Garands. Also I picked up one of those cleaning mats with the 1911 schematic on it.

Met INGOer Treetop before the show for a trade deal, and Pierce195 after the show.

Saw plenty of INGO shirts at the different vendor booths as well. All in all I didn't spend a lot of cash this time around, but had a great day!

 

[GunSlinger]

Picked up a spam can of .54R to feed my Mosin. At 82 and some change I can't buy it online and pay to have it shipped for that price. New mil-spec day bag (to carry the spam can!). 200 rounds of .45 ACP. 200 rounds of .380, new Walther mag for my PPK/S and a new back strap leather belt.

Had my hands on a sweet AR for 650 and almost couldn't lay it back down. When I got home I told my better half I almost bought her a new AR and told her the price...she said "you should have bought it"...when I woke up and got up from the floor I said to her, "yeah, I'll go back tomorrow and pick it up for you"...I'm going back tomorrow!!!

 

[coolluke]

Got a 410/45 barrel for my Encore Pistol & a S & W 460 XVR. Might have to go back for H&K USP Tactical .45acp Desert Tan
