Lexington gun show
Did anybody go? I thought about it, but that last two have been pretty crappy, and I figured this one would be as well so close after Christmas.
I just got back from there. It was about the same as always. Lots of old bolt action, the standard assortment of handguns, holsters, wallets, knives...etc. Nothing that really stood out as a deal. I did pick up a couple of range bags really cheap. A smaller lightweight bag for $12 and a medium sized heavy duty bag for $20. Ammo was decently priced, can still get it cheaper online including shipping though. Saw plenty of AR type rifles, very few AKs, and a few SKS. Unless you need something immediately or are looking for a nitch type item there isn't much of a point in going.
I was there yesterday, bought a few little items nothing major. Biggest laugh of the day was when I turned down selling a rifle to a man for $200, walked around for a little while and when I passed his table again his partner asked what I had and bought it for $1500.
Me and some friends went Saturday, and I was not very impressed at all. Nothing there really jumped out and said "BUY ME NOW". Funniest part was when we left, we all went to Bud's which was packed from other people from the gunshow. Its a shame we had to go there to handle firearms that we couldnt find at the show.
eta: Also I didnt much care for all the nazi bullshit floating around

At the same table... It was a 1892 Winchester in 25 20 at about 90% shape. So I thought I did good there.
Sounds like you did awesome, bet the first guy was going to sell it to his buddy.

I went and sold a Colt 1911 I'd picked up at a pawn shop, sold it within 10 minutes of pulling it out of the case. I had to turn down a couple of lowballers but the third guy wanted the gun and paid what I was asking. Funny thing is my buddy said "Now you have funds to blow on something else" but I didn't see anything worth buying. Nada. My pal will buy anything though, he has a major hole in his pocket most of the time. I did stock up on some reloading stuff though, pretty good deals on bullets by asking for a military discount. My interests are so limited that I rarely ever see stuff I like but always go to sell something and usually come home with money in my pocket.
Did anyone notice a new AR company at the show that is based out of Lexington? Not Accurate Arms, some other new company.
