| Saw a fellow there to day selling Win Sm Rifle primers for 60$ a thousand. I don't know what he finally sold them for, but the next time I saw him they were gone. He was the only one I saw there that had any small rifle primers. Glad as hell I purchased some about a year ago. |

I went this morning. It was the first time I have been to a show since maybe early last summer.
The only AR's I saw below $1000 were priced at $995 or so. I saw several people selling stripped lowers (RRA and some brand I didn't recognize) for $200. Saw several complete lowers w/stock for well above $400, although at least one of them said it had a NM trigger, which RRA sells separately for about $200. If you were to look around there were probably some decent deals to be had, but a lot of dealers are still trying to milk the panic buying frenzy. I saw quite a few indivoduals walking around with ARs to sell. I saw 3 Cav arms lowers in 3 different colors for $140 each - not bad really. I didn't even try to price ammo or reloading supplies since I am not in the market right now. Specialty Arm had an FDE colored FN SCAR for $5999. I don't see one of those in my future any time soon 
On the good side of things I did find a dealer who had an old-style aluminum 2-position stock and A1 pistol grip for my retro build, so that helped to advance the project a bit.. 
ETA: funniest thing I heard at the show - some guy was on his cell phone talking and says "oh. I'm just walking around Wal-mart" - probably talking to his wife
