[maxmayhem]

Can anyone tell me what to expect at the 1500? I am thinking of going for the first time tomorrow...When does it start? Is there an admission charge? Is there a parking charge?

I think you would have been better off going to the last 1500. With what happened in Arizona I would say to expect price gouging

Then you call B.S. because Boehner said there will be no new gun regulation/restriction passed.

If you have never been, you gotta go at least once. It's like a shopping mall with weapons. Old, new, rare, hunting, military, some junk, edged, etc. Yes, it is crowded, there are some weird people and lots of regular folks. There is more than you can really see in just a few hours. Prices/values can run the gamut from excellent to your-out-of-your-fing-minid. Definitely worth checking out though.

I thought there were a lot of wierd people and some regular folks....wait a minute... what if that is because I'M actually one of the wierd people but I don't realize it.

 

[Josh Ward]

Make sure you stop by the USPSA booth and talk to some fellow INGO'ers about the sport !!

The last time I went was on Friday, If you are just looking fine if you are going to buy go on Saturday afternoon or Sunday. I did not feel like any deals were to be had on Friday. If you go when they open be ready to stand in line outside.

 

[WOLFEMAN]

At the last show, they opened the doors on Saturday early.
Great for long line control.

I hadn't been for 3 years, until today.

My carry out;

Got my top 2 priorities, a BUIS for my current AR, and a RRA lower parts kit for my next AR. Got the YHM sight from PK, and the parts kit, and CAA grip, from Indy Custom Firearms. I had intended to order the kit directly from RRA, and do my first lower build. But I don't have the punch kit to do it. (yet) The kit was the same price as RRA, without the shipping costs. Asked him about installing on my DSA lower that I had with me(picked it up last week from Applied Ballistics). He said $20. I thought about, and went with it. Cool thing was, he walked and talked me through the whole build as he did it, giving me tips along the way.

To me, the $20 was well spent. I feel much more comfortable now to build my next one.

Also got;

12 pack of Surefire batteries
4 boxes of 20 gauge buckshot(for a recent acqusition)
500 rds of XM193 for $160
Nice pocket holster for my PF9 from Stoner holster
Nice AR cleaning tool(white thing, lower left side of pic)
$4 sling. I recently added a MOE stock to my current AR, that won't accept the Border Patrol sling that I had on it. Can't stand it looking naked without a sling, so I picked this up to put on it, until I figure out which sling option to go with. Too many to chose from.

Then there is that sicker I picked up........

I made all of the 1500's last year. I don't mind paying for parking or the entry fee for me and the wife. I walked out with at least one gun (good deal) at every event. I just hate paying $8 bucks for a corn dog and a small Pepsi.

What dealer had the 12 surefire batteries? Do you mind telling me the price.

They are located just to the right, after entering. First purchase I made. I think the sign said $27(?), but the nice lady said they were doing a show special for $25. Lithium batteries, btw.

I might be wrong. It was an impulse buy, and not one of my intended buys.

What bullet weights on the "500 rds of XM193 for $160"... I might need to get up there this weekend and pick some up.

IT'S A MAD HOUSE! WALL TO WALL & ELBOWS TO AHOLES! Saturday morning at 11:00 AM there were people lined up around the building and parking was INSAYYYYYYNE! We left and are planning on returning early tomorrow morning. I bet HI-Cap Magazines are going for a Krugerrand each!

I'm taking some to trade for a new car! And if I hear one more person call them "Clips" I'm going to start my own foundation for firearms education!
