Robertsdale Gun Show

[Fathertime]

Just got home from the show, to me it was very enjoyable. I always see someone to chew the fat with so it’s worth going. I did buy a scabbard for my Henry Axe that was very reasonable, enjoyed talking to the guy selling Fenix flashlights, if you don’t know about them then check them out. All in all had a good time.

Overall was bit disappointed besides some carbon 38 super ammo for about pre covid ( shits just not cheap ammo)

Was the tac force booth there?? All kinds of great parts.

I didn’t see them this time

 

[Bodhi]

Sounds like if I have better things to do (read Honey-Do) I‘m not missing anything.

Always good too walk around and people watch, just not many deals and no big ammo or component sellers

Never ever got a deal at a gun show, and now after an apocalyptic COVID world I definitely see no need to go, I imagine prices thru the roof !

I used to love going to the huge gun shows back in the late 80s to early 90s, when I lived near Atlanta. There were many bargains to be had, lots of private sellers, and of course being pre-internet, it was a major venue for obtaining just about everything. I stocked up on so many reloading components that I'm actually still using them today.

Nowadays I find most things at gun shows are offered at retail + prices, but occasional deals can still be found. I still enjoy walking around them but I haven't gone since the start of the china virus thing. The high price of admission is manageable, but still a bit of a turn off.

No, but I still have it.

Suprisingly no bullets?? Didn't really notice till you asked. I'd call styx river, they should have some.

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Last time I went there was the very last one right as the pandemic hit. I thought prices was bad then lol. Picked up a few old 1911 grips and some holsters etc. Never checked this part of the forum yet till today. Didn't know I just missed another show. I usually find out the old fashioned way with the billboards on highways. I'm old fashioned that way I guess lol. I'll stay tuned and try to make the next one for sure. But man do I miss the old days as a kid in Robertsdale when that flea market was booming. It was like a gun show in itself lol. I was just a kid then. If I could go back in time I would. Got my first shotgun there. A JC Penny Savage. Sold it there too. Wished that place was still going like it was. Haven't been there in ages. Seems like everytime the gun show comes due I'm neck deep into a new gun on layaway tho lol. Trying to pay off a pricey new MPX by this next week. So I didn't have the money to stop by anyways. But glad to see so many folks here involved. Now I know that I'll deffo try to visit next one

Yeah the internet killed the 1990's era flea markets. Death by slow economic starvation. Pea Ridge Flea Market was a humming every weekend, too, standing room only. Metro's Military there was probably more responsible for my lusting after an adventurous military career than NJROTC
