    DPMS Lower complete for $209

    I bought a Armalite AR lower for $129 from ACME. The Parkerized/black finish seems to be wiping off real easy. 20/20 hindsight, I'm wondering if I shold have bought the DPMS complete lower for $209? How much were the Double Star and Rock River Lowers?

    What the Heck,Good deal on that! Kinda,unless you piece it out yourself.
    LPK-55
    Stripped lower-90
    6 position stock,tube and buffer-60
    55+90+60=205
    and you got to put it together,
    should a bought the complete lower :dunno:
    seen a R-Guns stripped for 79 I think it was.
    Above prices from various gun shows. indy show a little more probably.

    Picked up some swag from INGO booth, some .40 ammo, two clips for my wife's LCP .380, sold my Yugo SKS and ammo, but the best thing I got was an opportunity to be with my son-in-law (of 4 months) as we walked through the show and he purchased an XD .40 subcompact.

    Also found out my neighbor went later in the day yesterday and bought a Px4.

    I picked up some of those military shooting gloves for winter seeding, a couple of GI slings, and a half dozen P-51 can openers. Visited the INGO booth and re upped the SS and got my licence.

    I dropped far more than I intended to, but when I saw a practically unused Wilson Combat CQB lying on one of the tables at >$1000 discount to new, I had to nab it.

    Yea, I kinda wondered myself. They had DPMS stripped lowers for 99 bucks, but for some reason, I wanted the Armalite...

    I was thinking if i wanted to get a cheap down and dirty AR, I could get the complete lower for $209 and buy one of those surplus A2 uppers w/20" barrel for $300. I'd have right at 500 bucks invested in a shooing gun. But, you have to wonder about those barrel's.

    I went with a few family members. My uncle bought a sig mosquito. My stepdad got a sccy 9mm, and my other uncle bought a kimber 1911. My cousin bought some reloading supplies. I bought a draco ak47 pistol. It's completely impractical but so much fun to shoot. I also grabbed a knife from knife lady's table and a t-shirt but I don't remember which booth.

    I went way overboard took the wife and got her one of the bullet end necklaces that the girl in the first isle of second building had. And that allowed me anything for the rest of the day. Picked up a S&W Ar-15 .22 and the matching Ar-15 .22 pistol. Thought that was going to be all I'd get since. I found out about the Gsg Pk design being changed and no one had it. Two isles later I had that too... Then for 2 years Ive been searching for a Polish Underfolder And while I definately overpaid I'm finally done looking for it. (I really wish I'd found that first) Other than that just the standard 223 ammo run and P Mags. Thanks Indiana Supply for the Ammo deal.

    I wish they would spread out the booths a little more its so tight every year in the first 2 buildings and then the 3rd seems to have so much room left over.

    Stopped by and picked up my INGO sticker & license and also got to meet Fenway. Thanks, :ingo:!

    Stopped by ISD and made a sale to VUPDblue and bought a set of carbine rails off of ISD. These ones... https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...-in_carbine_rail_for_ar-15_a.html#post1575977

    Then went and made my first Class III purchase from 21st Century Firearms! Jahred (Gamez235) sold me a TAC-65 suppressor, and thread adapter for my P22. https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...0-big_thanks_to_21st_century.html#post1588172

    the polis of indiana
    found some 20$ 50rnd 10mm ammo
    some more ammo
    got about 200rnds for about 70$ all together.

    Almost bought a Camel-something or another back pack, but didn't want to spend another 100$ on something i wasn't going to use.

    Couldn't find the dam INGO table, walked around the whole place.

    INGO gear :ingo: - Thanks, INGO!!! Great location - I hope you got to meet a lot of great Indiana folks! I tried to send some people your way - I was rocking an INGO chamber flag in the Garand we had on display. :D

    slings
    sight tool
    large rifle primers
    S&W tin sign

    Yeah, not a big haul but exactly what I needed. I probably could have left with more, but it was way more fun to hang out at the Appleseed table to tell everyone all about it! :patriot:

    I did pretty good, got a Bullhide belt, which I really like, for like 35.00. And a Blind Horse knife, not sure of the model, but its like a 3" scandi grind blade and a micarta handle, and a really nice leather sheath for 55.00. Unbeleivable quality of both the knife and sheath for that kind of money, wont be my last one of theirs for sure.

    Went back today and bought a lower parts kit and stopped by the Ingo booth. Shay and one of the Mods (can't remember his name, sorry Dude) were there. Both nice guys and I bought an Ingo hat from him. Didn't meet Fenway. He was on a walk-a-bout.
