| I may go to the Crossroads show on Sunday, but anyone goes today, please post a review so I can determine if it's worth the trek to the fairgrounds... |

Quoted: It's in the Ice House isn't it? Normally it's cool inside the Ice House and that's usually the only show I go to during the summer. The last few shows have been disappointing so I think I'll just skip this one and wait for September or November. December is the big one, isn't it? |

I walked for a couple hours and found a stack of 30 round P-mags for 16 bucks each including tax. Found Complete Stag and Rock river lowers for 275.00 each. I did see the guy who is buying all the Walmart ammo and selling it for 5 times what he paid with a table in the north room. Fucking slimeball, still had the Walmart sticker on one of the cases.
It wasn't the best but the prices are dropping and some of the dealers were looking to unload the high ticket shit they have been trying to sell since January. I'm going back today to see if I can strike any more deals.

There was alot of ar stuff. Ammo was pricey but there were some deals IMO. I was looking for a bolt and a guy was selling some for $120 because they where "colt", when as asked if the price was just for the bolt he said I should buy some DPMS chinese stuff, I got a laugh of that, I guess the guy was mad cause he was not selling much, i just walked away.
I got in free, had I had to pay it would have been a waste of $13. |

I decided that doing yardwork in 113* weather, and then painting my living room was a better use of my time... 
I need a handful of AR parts, but I'll either order them from Brownells, or pick then up locally if I can find them while cruising local shops this week. |

Quoted:
Were folks still using dollies to haul out ammo from Miwall, or has that slowed down too? Slowed down. I've no doubt that Miwall sold a ton of ammo, but I bought some .223 from them on Sunday, and normally they would have been picked clean in the first few hours on Saturday. Still plenty of small vendors trying to sell a box of 38 Special for $50 though. |

Quoted:
am I alone or are prices showing signs of coming down again? I saw a couple of booths with complete dpms ARs for less than $950 on Sunday :NOW HEAR THIS, NOW HEAR THIS: Almost everything is back in readily available supply with the exception of certain ammo. Pre-Obama prices can be found on almost anything if you look for longer than five minutes online. |
