Quoted: I thought that it was a good show. The majority of the stuff there was guns and not beanie babies, beef jerky, fake indian art, or tactical clothing (besides a guy with 5.11 vests). I went on Friday and probably saw some members and didn't know it.

I wasn't overly impressed by the large number of warn out old Winchesters commanding prices of 1-2K...
There were a couple of good vendors that didn't make it which disheartened me a bit. (BRD & Darkside (AK) enablers)
Within 10 minutes of getting to the show I managed to pick up 13-30rd Colt mags, 5 "W" marked M1A mags and 5 of the new H&K Steel mags in one lot purchase. (The dealer also threw in a D&H 30rd just so he didn't have to hassle selling it) I'd tell you what I paid for them, but you'd call be a damned liar... Honestly, the guy has treated me so well over the last few years even when I don't want any more mags- I just can't pass on him giving them to me so unbelievably cheap. He sells suprlus and buys at auction so in one lot of mags he happened to discover 5 of the H&K mags. Luckily he remembered my mentioning I'd like some but wouldn't pay much over what a standard USGI mag costs. What he charges me for a standard USGI, that's too cheap to admit on a forum without someone calling BS!
I was there Friday and Saturday. Figured I could skip Sunday as I'd had plenty of exercise walking the show the previous two days. All in all, I'd rate it a solid "B" since it lacked some regular vendors that cater more to my BRD needs. (I only spotted 2 ARs, and IIRC 6 AK variants)
