We could have a ARFCOM meet in the parking lot, and walk around en masse to enjoy the crazy shit they pull on people.
I.E. That rifle will shoot helicopters out of the sky, or M855 is AP. I want to be there for the replies from fellow ARFCOMMERS. What do you all say? |
|
28th BTW: Where the hell have you been this fall? |
|
|
I'm new about the Princeton gun show...What kind of stuff do they pull and who are they? dab2 in Q-town |
|
|
We usually meet eachother at the M+A Parts tables. We stand around and drool till PAM tells us to spend some money or stop drooling.
The show is Saturday and Sunday the 28th and 29th. I'll be there Saturday for sure and maybe Sunday also. I always need reloading supplies! I also always need more guns!!!! |
|
Usually the Princeton is considered the best show in the central part of the state, excluding the Bloomington show.
I went to the E Peoria one, and it wasn't like the one they held at Expo Gardens, that's for sure. What time on Saturday? |
|
fucking wedding....errr...oh well open bar
have fun for me cuz i can't attend |
|
I'm racing Saturday, so I'll only be able to go on Sunday.
EDIT:
School. I'm trying to have more of a social life for a change as well. All of that has left less time for arfcom cruising, sadly. WIZZO |

|
Better in the long run, I miss you being a post whore though. So you getting ready to be done at ... Sauk is it? ISU next spring? |
||
|
Yep. Done at Sauk this semester.
Taking the spring semester off to work full-time and then going to ISU next fall. WIZZO |
|
Just living the dream! Enjoy having 8 months 'off' |
|
|
Won't having witness discourage the "pulling"? Still, would be cool to meet some of you. I tried that at a Princeton show a while back and got there late I know Kahlishnakid-s will be in. He's always in.
oh yeah, go redbirds |
|
Quoted:
Kahlishnakid-s will be in. I can't remember how to spell his screen name either. If I want to IM the guy I have to scroll through Hometown till I find one of his posts. |
|
Actually that between home this weekend, and then the bloomington thing, thats too many weekends away from school, Ill make the November one! |
|
|
Actually I might come home, havnt been to a show since last feb. I dont know.
|
|
If there's food nearby, you guys might want to consider meeting up before hand for breakfast. It'll give you guys a chance to meet and greet and shoot the shit. Then again, maybe that's a WI crew thing
|
|
Go ya big wuss... afraid you will find more ammo than you can carry again?
|
|
What I would give to have that big fat guy in the back with more Wolf than you could shake a stick at. |
|
|
yeah... that was really sweet. I miss the guy too. And damn.. he had great prices for it too. I suppose that will never happen again either.
|
|
If I read the flyer right, it starts at 8:30. Princeton guys, where is a good place to eat near the Fairgrounds? |
|
|
Confirming....Princeton Gun Show October 28? Not on the ISRA site, linked from HTF pinpost.
|
|
It was better than the last few Expo shows after the Peoria City Council started fucking with MGCA.....with the attendance they got in Feb, there should be even more dealers this time. Yet more business crossing the river. |
|
|
Yeah, I hadn't been to the Expo Garden one for a few years. |
|
|
Anyone? hello? knock knock? |
|
|
correct. if its not I will be very pissed driving my ass 2hrs up there for nothing.
|
|
Yeah I guess. Its always the last weekend in Oct. If not Il have driven a long way for nothing. |
||
|
Princton gun show is on the 28th & 29th, ok.
About how long of a drive is it to Princton say from Joliet?- Where in Princton is the show being held and from what time to what time? I will be wearing either an AR15.com hat and probably one of those W. German camo jackets from SG. Hope to meet some hometown AR15'ers. Thanks Angelo B. in Joliet, IL. |
|
Fairgrounds on SW side of town. I think the hours are something like 8-4.
ETA: Post 4K. Guess I average a grand every six months. Meh. |
|
Two hours round trip. I'll have on my dark brown Carhartt, and a Camo Chevy hat. |
|
|
Thanks kid. |
|
|
So you're saying it's the 28th and 29th? Go redbirds |
|
|
Take Interstate 80 to Princeton. In downtown Princeton take US Route 6 west about a half mile. Look for the parking lot FULL of pickup trucks with NRA bumper stickers. |
|
|
Well, there was a lot of stuff there. I wasn't impressed, but I was looking for ammo deals.
My friend commented on how there wasn't any .50 rifles there. Anybody see one? Lone Wolf, this statement is now void:
Because I know you walked away with something worthwhile. |
|
|
I got 10 used AR mags for half a benji.
Favorite quote of the show: Hi, how much are these knives? "Twenty dollars and I got automatics under the table for seventy." |
|
ROTFLMAO. |
|
|
Did your buddy ever get the paper work started on the 870?. Those knives under the table looked like POS's , unless the more Tactical ones were under those. |
|
|
Bought 12 pounds of powder, 2000 primers, a flip up rear sight, and a non-diet Coke.
|
|
Yea hes going back tomorrow and those knifes looked all like shit. |
||
|
I'll be there tomorrow hobbling around. The race was a little harsh on me today and my legs are purdy weak.
WIZZO |
|
Glad to see you check in from time to time so we know you're not dead. Saw a CAI Yugo underfolder for 490 in the middle of the main room, wish I had 5 bills to spend on one. Also saw some sporterized Nagant M44's for like $150. |
|
|
I got the same answer too. |
|
|
Sounds like everbuddy went yessidy. I drove up today, didn't find most of wut I'd hoped. Did manage to pick up some AR accessories. They guy in the back ran out of 45 ball even earlier this time :(. Didn't have any interesting auto-knife offers, but one of the female showgoers did keep giving me "that look".
|
|
|
Yeah... got paper work going. the guy is real close to home for me, so that makes it nicer to get it. Yeah those knives didn't look that great. i leaned back while waiting with my shotgun and they didn't look special. Glad I saw you there too. I had to confirm with Kalahinkid that it was you, but glad to see you were at the show. |
|
|
That is because I bought most of it Sat morning. |
