Will you be able to buy things at the NRA Convention?

[42769vette]

YES

Ive seen posted in various area's that you cant. The manufacturer's will not sell to you unless your a dealer, but there will be a handful of retailer's at the show selling products.

For instance, if you try and buy a set of binocular's from Vortex as a manufacturer they will not sell you one, but they will give you direction's to my booth, andI will sell you one.

I assume that will just apply to non-firearm items?

YES

Is this a blanket policy? I purchased items directly from Gerber and Fobus at the St. Louis convention.

Im not certain on that either. I know Ive read on the net a few diffrent places on the net that you cant buy anything there, and my purpose was to dispel that.

You can't buy firearms at the show, if your a non-dealer, not even sure if you can, if you are a dealer. However, as a non-dealer at the St. Louis show and the Houston show last year, we bought items from Blade-Tech and some VZ 1911 grips. If I could have afforded them I could have bought exotic leather from Andrews leather...etc.

Alan, are you bringing the shop or should someone tell you in advance what they will be looking for?

How about reloading supplies? ... powder please!
Will there be much of that at the NRA show?
one would think so...

 

[shadow6492]

Just got an email stating that Sig will have merchandise for sale at their booth!

 

[BJones]

There will be lots of stuff to buy and lots of info to carry home. Better bring your walking shoes or rent a scooter.

Cool, looks like I'll be able to pick up what I need. I'm sure there will be others there as well. This is my first convention so didn't really know what to expect. Been trying to read up on all the threads.
