I want to go to browse around and see. Need only a small part but really it would be for the experience. I have never been to a "large" gunshow..... never had to. Is it a hassle? Do they want mask, 6-feet BS and the such or are they relaxed? Is there any cool surplus stuff nowadays?

My opinion... unless you are "watching paint dry" bored... gun shows now days are a disappointment, unless you're looking for, and willing to pay out the ass for, something rare, even the conventional offerings are well overpriced.

With the shit going on now, I can't imagine how insane things must be price wise.

I guess going and getting entertained by general fuck-tards that attend could offer some value. But then again, do you really want to go look at 50-round boxes of 9mm FMJ for $100 a box?

Maybe I'm wrong...

Heard the line was obnoxious.

I enjoy going to gun shows just because their very existence is a fuck-you to the left. Most tables are priced for those who don't know the internet exists, and I assume this past weekend wasn't any better. Add the mask hassle and I'll stay away.

Not THAT bad. Went over there looking for 2 things, found one but not the other.

Lots of overpriced stuff, of course. But saw some 500ish Glock, not bad and mags at good prices. There were tons of small outfit-small shop AR15s that looked like cheap China shit for $1000++.

I've scored some good deals on ammo and accessories at the Orlando show, as well as uppers (got my complete Spike's 11.5" upper with a BAR2 rail for $500 when they were retailing for $860ish new back in 2016).

Right now, if I was in the area I'd go to one but as you saw, lots of overpriced stuff with the market the way it is.
