I should be skulking around surreptitiously like the Glock ninja I am. Looking for factory one-offs.

 

[Bradsknives]

I'll be there with a few blades!

So, did anyone get out to this show today? How was it?

 

[wabashman]

Was there around 4 today. Picked up a set of dies for a decent price. Outside of that, not much going on from what i saw.

Bunch of overpriced guns (PMR priced ar 480$ when my local Rural King has them for 399$). Bunch of overpriced AR accesories, an ENTIRE row of those metal comic book wall signs you find at Hobby Lobby.

I did run into a few people i havent seen in a while so was nice catching up with them.

 

[CraigAPS]

So, apparently not worth it (for me at least. Over an hour drive for me.). Thanks for the info!

 

[DougO]

I went this morning and picked up a right fine ESEE-5 from Brad.

 

[Smith& W]

I was there also. Great way to spend the day. I sold three guns and bought three more. Might go back tomorrow.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[jgressley2003]

I went today and thought it was ok. I was tempted to buy a Taurus PT 92, but decided to save my money for now. Just ended up with some primers and a 50 rd box of .22.

Anytime you go to any show (even the almighty Indy 1500) at 4 P.M. this time of the year expect to be empty. The guy with the signs is raising money for the Howard County Vietnam Veteran's Memorial. Hope this clears up some misconceptions.

Dave, I did expect it to be close to empty customer wise at 4, that wasn't a real concern of mine. I honestly prefer it that way. Less chances of getting crop dusted and felt up going around people, lol. However, it did look light on vendor tables as well IMO.

I also didn't know the sign guy was raising money. I must have completely missed the sign stating that (pun intended). I simply saw all his tables and was like, really, i paid money to look at signs....

Anyone recall the dealer towards the middle that had banners up that said "We buy guns?" They had a gun I was interested in and was curious what dealer it was.
