Fort Wayne gun show 12/28 - 12/30

[CTS]

I'm probably stopping by in the morning just to peek around before heading up to Roush for the INGO eat/meet/greet there at noon.

IMO it was mostly gear and other random stuffs. Wrigley sales by far had the best and largest booth with plenty of guns and ammo at regular prices. If you were there to sell it was a good day for you, but deals were not in abundance for buyers. There were a few Gus I would loved to have picked up, but I'm already pushing it with the wife's tolerance level of my firearm addiction.

Someone bought all the Remington small pistol primers , I knew I should have grabbed them when I had the chance, $35/1k box. FML

*Edit* The guy in the far back-right of the place w/the gear, I was SO tempted to get a Shotgun Scabbard, but I have a H&R Pardner pump....

Got there at 2:40pm, found a parking spot, waited in car hoping for the line outside the building to thin out (which it only grew), left around 3:30pm to go use the bathroom down the road (should have went to ChuckECheese), came back and couldn't find a parking spot. So I went to Tomlinson's and found some .223 at a good price and browsed around. I got to meet JetGirl (who looks nothing like her Avatar despite what she says). Returned to show around 5pm and finally got in to find not really many deals. I did buy a good condition Marlin Model 60 that holds 18rds and has the bolt hold half open feature for $125. PMAGS for around $50, Steel AR Mags for around $30. It was an OK show, but IMO was not the best selection of firearms compared to previous shows there.

Took us 30 minutes to get into the building and we were there at 3.

No real deals to be found except for overpriced beat up 30 round mags, few PMAGs at 50. Oh and 223 at 20/box.

Bunch of gear and most of it was in bad shape.

There was a mini 14 I was really eyeballing but I did not have enough cash on me. :-(

 

[FWShooter]

Oh and do not park at Chuck E Cheese if you go this weekend. They were threatening to tow around 4 p.m. No clue if they went through with it or not.

Do you remember what Tomlinson price was on 223?

Good to know.

I have realized it is impossible to find it now but I want to know which retailers are jumping their prices and refusing to ever do business with them again.

They are added to the nice list.

Was there at 9am today. Saw some ARs that must of been a lot better than mine because the sure cost a lot more than mine did. Ended up buying some hot sauce and dry rub.

 

[04DarkShadowGT]

Took the little man today, we mostly just watched the madness. Never have I seen a $1800 DPMS. Some guy also had some stuff that looked like it had literally been buried in the ground that he was selling for insane prices too.

Bought a brick of remington 22lr for $20.

 

[Evermoore]

I had to chuckle when a dealer asked me how much I wanted for the stripped Spikes lower I was carrying. I said $375 he told me "son I can go over to that table over there and get one for $250" I told him to go ahead and buy one and he informed me they were out of stock already. So I told him once again $375 and laughed. Why is it that when dealers try to screw us on the prices its okay but not okay when we do the same to them?? :P

 

[PGRChaplain]

My son & I went after lunch. He bought some 454 Casull ammo at less than retail and I got an XXL gun rug for $5.00. Those were the only "Deals" we saw.

One of the best shows ever!!! You should buy guns and ammo while you still can. Future looks very uncertain. Once politicians get involved, things go to hell.

Gunslingers are offering a couple seminars at the Fort Wayne show tomorrow: The Body Guard Academy out of Three Rivers MI is offering a Women's personal protection/self defense class from 12 noon-2pm

Some of the people who have taken the class are very glad that they did, they felt it was time and money well spent, makes you think about things that you otherwise probably wouldn't, another type of preparedness. Please don't make the mistake that you own a weapon & don't need the the class. Cost is $20.

Another class being offered is a Conceal Carry informational seminar also offered by The Body Guard Academy from 10am-11am
For more info contact Ed @ 269-858-3743 space is limited in both classes so reserve your spot early.

I went to the last one they had around Oct. or Nov. and was very unimpressed I can't imagine it got any better.

Saw that to.Tried talking him down $100 for one of his Polytechs, he wouldn't do it. $1400 seemed a little steep
