This show worth an hour drive? Any hand loading components?

I am getting out of 45acp and would like to trade some components and dies out.

Aw, man!

Also have a bull barreled AR and possibly a Glock 21 I'd like to sell or trade.

There will be at least one vendor there that buys, sells and trades reloading equipment. There will likely be more than one, but I know of one that will definitely be there.

I'll be there with a few blades!

I’ll be there first thing in the morning. Nothing better to do on a rainy Saturday than spend money.

If anyone has a 10/22 in decent shape with iron sights that they’re bringing to sell, PM me please.

Cool I'll take a ride to trade me components out and hopefully pedal my Glock 21 off.

Went one time.
Various shades of plastic, blades for covens, semi-autos and nine kinds of jerky.
If I hadn't already been to the big city last Thursday maybe would drop by.

I came and I saw. Bought 4lbs of TiteGroup and spent $3 on a knife sharpening. He complemented my stainless Spyderco.

Terrible time to sell, but a great time to buy an AR.

Lots of good stuff! Managed to sell everything I brought really quick.

Came home with a new G19FS, various ammo, primers, and a cheese and sausage for the road.

Nice show. Lots of room to walk around (no crop dusting or B.O.). I'll hit this one when needed. Good time for a rainy day.

I was disappointed.
I went specifically looking for some type of night vision scope that I can actually afford.
There was not more than a couple dozen optics at the entire show, and nothing night vision.

I did buy some magnum spp, a brick of .22lr, and a box of LeverEvolution .45/70gvt.
Not a bad day.

Still looking for N.V. ...

 

[cmann250]

It depends on what you’re looking for. I bought powder at a fair price. I about dropped dead when the first table had it $30 over market value. Same scenario with CCI Standard Velocity 22LR at $0.09/round.

They can charge what ever they want because I’m not breaking my back loading their trailer when they haul it all back home.

NV gear that's actually useful probably isn't in the "afford" category for most of us!

Kind of what I'm afraid of.
Much as I'd like to have a good night scope, I can't see spending 4-5x more for a scope than I paid for the rifle it will be mounted on.

Yes! I saw that powder was way high. Generally why I quit the shows unless I have something to sell off or need a good laugh.

Can't beat Cabelas when they have a sale. I learned my lesson on that the hard way. I paid over 20 a lb. for titegroup at a show last year. I grabbed the mail out of the box when I got home. There it is in Cabelas add for 18 a lb. Same drive to store for me and I don't have to pay to get in.

Let them keep it. Same with ammo. Can't beat Walmart on that.

I used to sell night vision at gun shows. I quit bringing it because everyone thought it was too expensive. People wanted to buy it for about 1/3 of what I paid for it.
Usually, Osprey Global sets up at practically every show put on by CIG, not sure why they weren't at Lafayette this time. They carry more affordable night vision, not sure of the quality though. You get what you pay for...
