Free parking
$12 includes both days. $1 & $2" discount coupons available on line. You have to print them out. I'd say table count has been 1200-1800 in the past. Content varies from show to show. No enforced price fixing, full free market. Buy sell or trade. No browsing  . If you are an Alabama resident, no handgun purchases for you, long guns only from FFL dealers only, not private sales to out of state residents or you may meet the ATF working the show. This show has lots of LE prescense.
Bring guns, parts, empty mags, boxed or sealed bag ammo. Whether or not it's worth the trip depends on what you are looking for. Any show is that way. The only Alabama show that compares is the 900 table AGCA show at BJCC. The 300 table Great Southern Classic Ernie Bean show doesn't come near the AGCA show, so there's some comparison. Yes, it's this weekend.. |

very good summary above.
Ammo must be in boxes or bagged and sealed. No loose rounds. Your success at a gun show depends on how you price stuff. If you price your stuff to sell, you can go home with a pocket full of cash. If you want what 'one sold for on gunbroker'... you most likely will be disappointed. Are you walking around, or getting a table? |

So if I wanted to sell my 1944 Walther G43, is this the show that will most likely have a buyer willing to pay close to "Top Dollar"?
Know of any tables or buyers there to seek out that may be interested? It's not something I want to sell but for the right amount the funds could make the LWRC I saw at Trading Places a little more doable. :) |

It'll get a lot more attention than any other way. Be aware though that dealers will be offering you money for it that's lower than its worth. They of course are going to try to flip it for a profit and expect that. Walk around long enough and hopefully the right person will see it. |

I made a quick trip there. There was an Amberlamps and 2 fire trucks there when I arrived. I was wondering if someone passed out after seeing some of the ammo prices.
green tips were all over the place (price and geography). $20 for 30 rd Walmart boxes, $420 for 420 round cans that we are all familiar with and $1k for 1k boxes. One dealer told me that one person bought $3800 worth of green tips from him as the show opened. I didn't stick around for long. I went because I was to pick up a rifle or 2 after getting some work done on them, but they weren't done yet. I found some reloading supplies in stock. Some prices of things I did take time to notice.... AK ammo for $300/k, Primers $33-$36/k, green tips ~$.65-$1.00 each, name brand powder $26-$30 per pound. I didn't pay much attention to all the gun tables. I was on a mission, and my phone battery was going down at an alarming rate. The one reloader supply booth that I stopped at was busy with customers. Lots of primers and powders were being sold. There was a large crowd. The parking lot was jam packed. I had to double park in front of a trailer over by where all the dealers park. Hopefully others will chime in with a more thorough AAR |

I made the trip . I spent about $20 and met 4 of our forum members today . First it was mobbed the biggest crowd of buyers I have seen there in at least 4-5 years , There was still a 50+ yard line waiting to get in the door at 11 a full 2 hours after it opened parking was a madhouse . lower lot was full and cars were parked on both sides of the entrance drive . I also went to lunch with a forum member at a random Mexican place on Jonesboro rd . The food was excellent
.22 ammo all you wanted at $50 a brick I saw the guy who bragged about working at Bass Pro there with a table full of 22. There were several tables piled high with .22 it did not seem to be moving . 
M855 . 1 dealer I know said he sold a bunch to another dealer at .60 a round . The prices from dealers were .65 on the low end to $1 a round on the high end . it was moving steadily out the door . There were a couple of different than normal surplus dealers which was good I bought a Tactical Tailor single mag pouch a Maxpedition dump pouch and a revolver speed loader and spent $20 plus admission . |

I saw someone with a black ARFCOM logo ball cap on, but didn't have a chance to say 'hi' to them.
The crowd was unbelievable. |

Got there about 2pm Saturday, line was 50 yards long but got in within 5 minutes.Had heard this was one of the best shows in Atlanta, not too impressed myself, lots of junk besides guns, probably 60% plus was non gun. Went looking for a Ruger MKIIII Hunter fluted stainless, none at the show. Bought a S&W 637 Airweight snub nose .38 for $350 + tax and a North American Arms .22 Magnum mini revolver for $200 plus tax, both bought from Cherokee Gun in Canton. They had the best prices there, located about 5 rows from the left wall as you walk in the door, they have a large sign with their name on it. Dawsonville Gun and Pawn had 2nd best prices, about 3 rows from right wall, no sign, just recognized them from past shows,

I had some money burning a hole in my pocket, but after walking around a while, decided to just keep it and save it for building up the 2 lowers I bought Friday. I also want to say that I noticed a lot of guys selling the same brands of AR lowers. They were Skyjacker Defense. They were Ceracoated, not hard coat anodized. On one lower I looked at in ceracoated bronze, they did a shit job on it. You could see how they suspended the part when it was sprayed because what ever they suspended it with left a shadow on the receiver. It was actually at the forward pin hole. Eh, I'll keep my Andersons.

They are located in Tucker. They told me once that they usually always have blemished at the shop. I bet someone bought all there stock to sell at this show. I'm skipping the show. All I want is a magpul ASC-L stock in fde, and I'm sure I could find a better deal online without wasting gas and an hour drive |

I realized I need to update my personal financial statement this year to reflect my ammo holdings after visiting the gun show today. I'm rich, on paper anyway, if I could sell out for the prices some vendors were asking. Never knew lead was such a precious metal until recently. This ammo ban nonsense is about the only thing the current administration has done to increase my wealth!

Quote HistoryThats a really nice lower for $55. About the skyjacker lowers though, if hardcoat adds extra strength to the surface of the metal and their only making them from 6061T6 to begin with, why would anyone want one if they are only ceracoated? Wouldn't you have the same problems that guys have had with 80% lowers that they didn't have anodized? |
