Almost forgot! Last one was a waste. Hopefully this one is better

Yeah, I walked out empty handed last show. I wanted to buy some reloading components, but the one I bought some stuff from before had jacked her prices way up.

Put up an INGO device of some sort, so we can pick you out of the crowd.

Even when I do not find anything I want at the show, I end up meeting several people I hardly ever see. Sort of a shootings sports reunion. Plus you never know what you might find. I no longer travel to shows in other cities or the 1500, but I'll pay $5 to see some old friends at a local show.

What time do you plan on going? I am thinking of trying to get out in the morning. I don't think the kids will be doing much so I may be able to sneak out around 10 and take a walk thru.

There was a bit of ammo last show but I am hoping it is better this time.

Brad will be wearing a INGO hat with his name on it. He has 4 tables with camo table cloths located up front just left of the front door.

Best ammo price I saw was pmc xtac 5.56 for $450/1000. Saw a ruger GSR for $765.

 

[gregkl]

Walked through mostly to have something to do away from the house for an hour or so. Reloading components still too high as was ammo. Saw P-Mags for $13 though which is not bad in today's world.

You can buy a Remington 870 for around $300. Not sure if that is good or not.

Talked to a vendor who was selling a scratched up, used WOA SS barrel that cost $265 new for $250 and he told me that it cost $500 new. I corrected him gently and moved on.

Talked to a couple vendors who said the traffic through the show was decent, but not many buyers.

 

[cubbetm]

All I saw was overpriced items and ammo. Picked up some nuts and a case
