    I'm going because a friend is going... and if by chance I happen to find a 18" 870 barrel and a 2 shot mag extension... it would be worth it.

    North Dakota soon...
    Maybe I could see if I can sell my WASR for $550, surely the dealers will want $600 with no cleaning rod! :laugh:


    If I didn't have plans seeing my grandpa this weekend I'd be there selling an AK to fund an AR upper...no better time to get one I suspect.

    I have always looked forward to the 1500 with a since of "rush" . :D
    After the last one though, the "rush" has been replaced with a knot in the stomach other wise known as dread .:(
    There were just to many people. WAY to many!
    I know I don't have to go , I will plan to go just like I always have for the last umpteen years .
    However , If something comes up that prevents me from going , I'm not sure I'm going to get to upset about it. ..:twocents:

    I have a really bad feeling about this one . The show's promoters mistreatment of the masses pushed many people to a point that some were beginning to loose their "cool'' .
    I will be praying for the best , but be prepared for the worst...

    I posted a question in another thread about going for the first time. After all the comments and suggestions, I HAVE TO GO. I have to see this grand experiment that combines a large volume of humanity, discount firearms, and BO. If nothing else, I'll have a new appreciation for the local gun store I guess.

    I desperately need some bulk ammos and haven't found any deal that isn't as good as ones at the show. At best, it would be the same price after shipping, excluding the admission price for the show.

    How do you know what the prices will be?

    Because there are a couple ammo guys there that bring the same stuff and keep it priced relatively low (compared to everyone else there.) at every 1500. They go through a few pallets of bulk ammo by Sunday usually.

    I would agree that the 1500 is the cheapest place to buy ammo that have found consistent......if anyone knows a place that's comparible please share here as I was going to make another post about it....but I spend a lot of time online and looking for best deals possible and haven't seen anywhere that regularly has ammo cheaper than the show

    I'll go Saturday on St Pattys day (I'll be there when doors open like usual) grab what I need to get. No window shopping for this guy. In and out then to drink some green beer and Jamison :D
