Don't forget:
Pawn shop guys selling beat up used Snap On, MAC, Matco tools for the price of new stuff. When you offer them anything less than sticker they tell you go away. Then theres the guy with accessories for the AR/AK/FAL etc, and wants twice the retail. ETA: here is where my 2400 post went. Woo hoo. |

You my friend have not been to the Dallas Market Hall show  eta: I love it when you find overpriced mags that are overly advertised, but you go to the corner and find the cheapest with no blatent price tag on them. |

If you NC folks are referring to the Gun and Knife show at the fairgrounds in Raleigh...come on, it sucks. Some decent stuff to look at once in a while, Class III, etc., but the prices are really high, esp. black rifle related items. Besides "deals" on the old and abused turds, I've yet to find any real "deals". I must be missing something.

How bout the old guy who sells OLD gun parts to guns that NO one has anymore...
Civil war reinactor guy showing off rifles and bayonets, None of it for sale... The guy selling beat up guns for WAY too much money and comes up with a story about every one of them... We had one here in Bangor, a dental pick table....nothing but dental picks... Mix matched AR15's with A2 lowers and A1 uppers selling for $1600... The guy selling Once fired brass... How about the Thugs trying to buy a "Glock 40 Mutha F*cker" |

I don't know about everyone else, but I've noticed this. If you go in the morning, you see very few "thugs" (Jose, Tommy, etc) looking exclusively at Hi Points, Tec 9's, and the absolute cheapest possible Romanian AK's. By midafternoon those guys are everywhere.

Fake biker Vets
The guys with the leather vests with every friggin badge, medal, pin and patch you can find. They usually claim to be NAm vets but are usually 10 yrs too young. they have infantry CIBs and crossed swords instead of crossed rifles. They have many conflicting unit patches,even some that were not even active during their lifetime. They also have E7 rank with CWO and Captains barsand claim to have been all of them at one time or another. |

We have a guy at local shows that sells used body armor.
He has a prominently displayed sign warning of an imminent federal ban on private ownership of body armor. He’s displayed that same sign for maybe the last 15 years. |

What about the Hot chick with big knockers and a low cut shirt that works at either a knife table or surplus table.
The guy that sells the dried mix you add to your veggies that produces the and I quote "best stew you will ever eat" and is pealing potatos and cutting cabbage? What about the old guy that makes his own special oil for your guns and knives, but also sells out dated issues of Shotgun News with the address label removed so you won't come and ask him for your mony back when the oil ruins yor gun. Don't forget the coin guys, the chick that sells candy and peanuts, or the guys that load their own ammo that say every elses ammo is shit. Oh, and don't forget the guy that sells the primer cords, "dummy" gernades, and fuses all in a line next to his shotgun shells that shoots darts, bolos, hacky sacks, and flames. The consealed carry class guy. The two wierd guys (one with a pony tail) that sell SKS's, AK, Nagets etc. for dirt cheap and look like they haven't slept in weeks, with the: could be hot b/c she has big tits, but needs some makeup and sleep too girl that always have an atitude and don't want to talk to any one. And the guy that sells 6 pair of sox for 5 bucks, I actually like them. At lease this is what they are like down in Richmond Virginia.

Some might have beaten me to this already......but Colt did make a LMG version of the AR15/M16. The uppers are expensive as all hell. It's a 20" HBAR with a big square handguard, top carry handle, and bipod. |

There is a giant fat obnoxious scumbag who comes to the Valley Forge PA gunshows with 500 fake cartouched garands stocks.
He stacks them like cordwood but puts $800 price tags on them. Favorite gun show guy: Old rooster who displays rare guns but has no intention of selling. Just loves making snide remarks. "Can't see that gun unless you got $5000 cash on hand!" |

The "blood grooves" part is bullshit. They are not blood grooves, but indentations called "fullers", designed to add flexing strength. Same principle is used in making a railroad rail or and I-beam. It's an old part of metallurgy and blade making. They even used this principle in the Revolutionary War, and later, with the three sided bayonets- NOT done to make a cruel wound, but to make a shape that was not too heavy, but still strong enough to bend a bit and not shatter if rammed against a hard object while fixed on a musket. And no, three-sided bayonets were not banned by the Geneva/Hague convention or the UN as a cruel weapon, nor do they make a wound that is impossible to sew up. Just ask any trauma surgeon who deals with deep, multi-sided jagged wounds all the time. "Just keep sewing until they're closed." Oh, the bullshit I hear, at both gunshows AND at reenactments....

Anyone ever seen the magazines for a 7.62x39mm rifle, possibly an SKS, where it is so long that the arc/curvature of the mag has it attaching to the barrel ahead of the front sight?
The thing must have been atleast 80 rounds. Haven't seen one in a long time since I live in California where such ludicrous things are a rarity to see. |
