Nothing with the way prices are lately. 0 -
The last time I went I purchased some M1 Carbine part, cleaning equipment and targets. Everyone there buys something different. If you want ammo or a black rifle be prepared to stand in line for a while for either. 0 -
Where have you been for the last couple of months, asleep?[:D]
The gunshow scalpers have tippled their prices on everything. You would be paying through the nose on everything, from $1500-$2000 for a AR, to $65 for a brick of .22 LR's.
If you got the money don't let me discourage you, but I would personally hold off for a while. Hopefully the nobama gun panic will subside like it did last time.0 -
I try and buy cleaning supplies and bullet molds. Sometimes used reloading gear just to give away. Mostly I just like to visit old friends that are there. Look at the latest wiz bang attachments, enjoy the display only collections (not many these days). 0 -
now is the time to look for the older guns with wood stocks, everyone is looking for AR's now and a lot of the shotguns/rifles can be picked up for a good price, as people are selling grampa's rifle/shotgun so they can buy an AR............. 0 -
I buy what I like and want when I can get it for the price I want. There will always be bargains if you are patient and know what you are looking at. 0 -
I always try for a cup of coffee or a soft drink. Those tend to be safe. I also make it a rule to avoid the food at gun shows. That can lead to real trouble, especially those "free" samples of jerkie they pass out. 0 -
Be sure to check out the $1,000 garands, the $500 Mauser parts guns and the $25 a box ammo. Unless you find someone closing out an estate, there are no bargains at gun shows. 0 -

+1 Good time to buy a project.0 -
Well, first thing, I grab a Bratwurst with Sauerkraut and spicy mustard; that way, if I stay a few hours, no one will follow me.
Then I start looking for old friends, next ex-girlfriends, and pets I'd like to have.
After a while of that, I generally hang around the jerky sellers, jewelry sellers, jaundiced sellers, and the know-it-all buyers.
I mosey around some, then begin perusal of all the ancient single shot 22s everybody always ignores. Might even buy 1 or 3 to tote around.
Then it's back to the Brat Haus for a sodie!0
