Lafayette gunshow finds

[lnholmes]

Anyone find any good deals or pick up anything at the show? I went but I didn't see anything I couldn't live without or could just wait til the indy 1500. Lets see what ya picked up

 

[Barbecue]

$5 laser pointer/flashlight

^best deal in the house. My daughter has been begging me for a laser pointer since I put one on a rifle a few weeks ago.

 

[smokestack]

I'm on the didn't find squat list. It looks kind of bare compared to the previous ones.

Did they have very much reloading equipment or supplies? I thought about running over there in the morning for some 40 cal supplies but I hate to waste the gas...

Yea, there wasn't much in the way of deals on guns. Some of the prices were a bit ridiculous

They did have one table that I saw that had reloading stuff, but I didn't look at it too closely, so I'm not sure on prices

I picked up a set of 30 06 dies for 20$. That is what i was looking for when I went in today and what I bought. The bags of brass for sale were 15$ for 50 rifle rounds, I didnt pay attention to pistol brass. 7.62 x 39 is cheaper at wallmart than at the gun show. There is a table in the back that has a crate of turkish pistols for 200$ each with 2 mags and holster. Other than that I would rather shop the classifieds on ingo I stopped at the gun store on my way out of town and bought 2 boxes of 7.62x54 and a box of 30 06 gotta support the local business's Tippecanoe Sport is a great little store!

... There is a table in the back that has a crate of turkish pistols for 200$ each with 2 mags and holster.

I believe those were Yugo M57's. That's what they go for. Not a bad deal for a gun that's shoots a really cheap & powerfully 7.62x25 round.

Picked up some 7x57, 6.5x54ms & .303 brit ammo for a very fair price. Also picked up some gun case/sleeves 10 for $28. A MG-13 mag with a ton of nice clear Nazi stampings for $30.

Laff. Show

Wife and I went to the show and We picked up a Colt 1908 Vest Pocket Model 25 auto and a Deutsche Werke 25 auto from the same dealer for a pretty good price. Then the Wife and I went to Applied Ballistics to try them out . Could not be happier with the purchase they both functioned flawlesly the Colt was produced in 1910 and the Deutsche Werke in the 1920s or 1930s.

Is this show bigger or smaller than the Kokomo show?

last time I was there it was about the same size, maybe a tad smaller.

 

[ViperJock]

I got there kinda late, but it seemd a bit...dead.... Had none of the firearms on my list and I thought the prices might have been a little high on guns that my friends were interested in as well. I did get some "gear"--you know ammo cans and whatnot-- as they seemed to be reasonably priced.

I don't know if it is just me, but does the Lafayette gun show seem to be a little less glamorous every time it opens over the last year or so?

 

[smokestack]

I know I didn't find anyhthing I wanted, but did notice one dealer had 2 Spikes lowers (bare) for $99 I think.

 

[scott delaney]

i spent about an hour there......2 mins in the door sold my 1100 20ga for about twice what i thought i might get out of it. bought some 12 ga non leathal and 12 ga bird booms. found can of 500 fed 556 new brass for $125 after some wheeling and dealing.......going back tomarrow with my 1968 9422 to see what kinda offer i might get.
