And what are they charging to get in now? I stopped going to the Fair Grounds one a very long time ago.If it makes you feel better you're really not missing anything, they are trash now.

I usually don't go to shop for guns or ammo. I like to look for obscure items I can use in builds. I take a couple of my guns, just in case I find something to barter for. I used to go and rent a table, then over-price everything. Best part about that is getting in early to scoop up deals, and then put them on my table with a high price! Hey, never once in my life has anyone tried to talk me *up* on a price,If it makes you feel better you're really not missing anything, they are trash now.
I saw many good deals today. Some deals on two SKS's, a British Enfield 22lr trainer, a Wiselite Sterling, a Russian Makarov in 380, a Multicam Keltec 22mag pistol and an Argentine Mauser. All on tables. Deals all around. Just not on AR's. Saw a forum member's 45ACP Vector pistol walking around, too, for about a $100 off of retail and with free accessories. Saw another guy walking around with a WASR10 like new for $750. Both reasonable dealsJust got back from the show. The show was crowded and the prices on guns was high. There was lots of ammo. I didn't pay attention to prices because I have lots of ammo myself, lol. One dealer had primers at $100 per thousand, and another dealer had primers at $125 per thousand. The difference between a good show and a so so one is whether or not you find what you are looking for. I didn't. It looked like lots of people did though. Lots of buying going on.
Most of what I bought was on the second day! On the second day I found 3 cell Cobray mag pouches, a $5 SAW pistol grip, an Archangel SKS mag, two 38 round steel SKS mags like new, an Osprey weapons light, a black SKS sling, M9 mags (2 for $20, wow!) etc, etc, etc. Not too shabby for "picked over 2nd day". My Sunday was way better than my Saturday.I guess not. Glad I didn’t go.
Seems like they oughta let people in for half price the 2nd day since everything has been picked over. It’s kinda like showing up at a yard sale at noon.
Did you overlook those items the first day or were they set out later?Most of what I bought was on the second day!

I think I overlooked them. Some were in the half of the building that I saw on Saturday and some were in the half that I didn't get to until Sunday. Saturday I went for only about an hour and a half. Sunday I was there all afternoon picking thru things real good in the whole building. Gotta go digging thru bags and boxes to find the good surplus! I found my American made SAW style SKS pistol grip hiding in a ziploc bag full of commie AK pistol gripsDid you overlook those items the first day or were they set out later?
Im glad you found that. And I enjoyed talking to you about it. I never got a chance to put everything out on the table and didnt see that bag of AK bakelite grips untill late sunday.I found my American made SAW style SKS pistol grip hiding in a ziploc bag full of commie AK pistol grips
I spent a ton of time at your table Saturday, was nice talking to ya! It was my favorite table between the Makarov & the CETME.Im glad you found that. And I enjoyed talking to you about it. I never got a chance to put everything out on the table and didnt see that bag of AK bakelite grips untill late sunday.
I sold a few pieces. The 2 cheaper AR's went first, then collectables and such. I was trying to make deals to help with a house down payment if my offer goes through.... CRAZY what you have to pay to get a house these days. KIND OF LIKE DEALER GUNS, LOL.
I think some people only think a good deal is when you steal a $1000 rifle from an uninformed seller for $350. I was accepting anything with in reason to raise that house money.. Surprised I didn't get one real offer on the Winchester 1897 take down turned into a imitation "TRENCH" gun, just several I got one dollar...... But that thing is an ugly beast so it just needs the right home.
I overheard some guys talking about that shotgun. They'll be back, I'm sureIm glad you found that. And I enjoyed talking to you about it. I never got a chance to put everything out on the table and didnt see that bag of AK bakelite grips untill late sunday.

For Makarovs being relatively rare nowadays, I was surprised to see two at the show. Yours and that Russian in 380. And I wasn't even really looking at pistols. Maybe there were others! I'm a rifleman. But I have a soft spot for the Makarovs. SKS's were relatively rare these past couple of years, too, and there were half a dozen of them at the show. Maybe supply is getting back to normal?I spent a ton of time at your table Saturday, was nice talking to ya! It was my favorite table between the Makarov & the CETME.
Hope that house closing goes your way.
So we resumitted an new offer on the house and they accepted!!!For Makarovs being relatively rare nowadays, I was surprised to see two at the show. Yours and that Russian in 380.
