    Question for the masses...if you were surfing for milsurp guns, which one would be the better venue to visit? Anyone here familiar with either one...or both?

    I live about 1/2 way between the two so distance isn’t a factor for me.

    Thanks INGO!

    Never been to the Plymouth show, so I really can't compare. Stout Field usually has milsurps, but how many, and what kind is hit or miss.

    The Plymouth show this weekend is a different promoter, so I can't really say.
    The show that used to be in nappanee moved to Plymouth. That one usually has quite a few mil-surps

    Along the line of what you say, I believe the earliest we can see a NIGCA show in Plymouth this year will be October.

    Be sure and brush your hair and smile; Biden's team will be photographing everyone in anticipation of the upcoming swat raids on gun owners.

    I read it on INGO a couple of hours ago.

    The Stout Field show used to be good for surplus stuff and parts but over the years a lot of that has gone away. Many of the same vendors with same things last few I’ve attended. I usually find a couple little items I need though. I’ll be going to Stout Field Saturday.

    Stout Field was crowded. Ammo prices are still scary. Did see Smith &W, Brad of Revolver Tactical, Brian of Brian’s Surplus and Ammoman Aaron.

    I picked up a World War II Scoville mag, that’s all I left with.

    I opted to go to the Plymouth show. Got there 15 minutes early with about 200 in line so they opened the doors a few minutes early. The parking field got muddy quick and a few vehicles got stuck and the ensuing recovery attempts became comical and drew a crowd. Prices were typical of today’s market with a few vendors willing to deal. Decent variety and not dominated by ARs and Glocks. Left after about 90 minutes with a few things. There was a 50-60 person line when I left...not sure if they were at capacity or it was a second wave of people showing up.
