| Wondering how big the Green Bay show is compared to say Waukesha? I figure prices to buy would be insane but I am considering making some room in the safe and parting with a few items. |
The Green Bay show is relatively small but is worth going if you can make it early. If you see something you like, buy it immediately as it will be gone the next time you go to look at it. You will find large tables with vendors displaying the same overly priced stuff they brought 2 years ago. You will find a couple smaller tables with useful items such as old gun sights, etc. Tom (Tom's Military Arms) from Fond Du Lac will be there telling stories and yelling at people for trying to open the action on the rifles. There are a few tables with they typical "surplus" items including M16/AR15 small parts. There are typically new rifles and handguns at average prices and WI Cartridge will be there with their reload ammo. Somewhere in the pile of stuff are treasures to be found. You should get there early on Friday to find them as they will be gone quickly. Although the show is listed to run until 5:00PM on Saturday, the reality is that by 2:00PM vendors will be packing up and by 3:00PM some tables will be empty....

Remember, Tom Thumb prefers that you dry fire his weapons before you purchase them.  He tells me that if you open the action it is used then. I say do that and they tell him you will pay the used price. Ever wonder why he doesn't carry 1911's ......lol...
