Evening all I see next weekend is a show in Birch Run. How are these shows? I have not been up to one, but it is only a 30 minute drive for me. Any regulars that have good deals I shoudl look at? I was looking for some ammo and maybe some more HI-Cap mags fro my Sig's Joe |

Greetings - I reside very near BR and have not missed a show there since the BR "Expo Center" started hosting "funshows." Yes, there are some ammo "deals" to be had: .223., .308, 7.62X39, pistol calibers, 12 gauge, ect.... Look for a vendor in the "north hall" - against the wall adjacent to a backside exit door: he's a middle aged guy with graying hair (like mine!) and his name is Doug. He and I have done a fair amount of business over the past few years, and once you establish a relationship with the gentleman - he'll most likely cut you some "preferential" pricing. ( One of my last transactions: I bought out his entire stocks of 9mm S&B for $5 per 50) Doug basically sells ammo. Although, he does have an assortment of AR mags, AR spare parts, and M1A accesories. paddle3 |
Is that the guy with the uppers that have shorty triangular hand guards? Anybody know the story on those? |

Stryfe - The fellow of which I commented is mostly an ammo source, with AR parts, and M14 mags. Personally, I have bought M4 handguards from him, but don't know about the shorty uppers with triangular grips. However, I do believe that he does stock some uppers: configurations - unknown.... Perhaps, his stock changes. Dunno.... I will be attending the "funshow" on Saturday, and may be helping attend a FFL friend's tables. His shop is "Wingshooters" - or - if you attend, and see a bearded, graying, middle aged man with short brown hair walking aroung attired in gray slacks, white "Costa Rica" T, and a navy blue North Face jacket - please feel free to introduce yourself. I readily answer to, "Are you perchance paddle3?" Let's hope BR is another good funshow! I need ammo, and M14 mags!! Regards - paddle3 |

Stryfe - Yes, you are correct: this is the "guy" with the shorty triangular handguards. (Sorry, I didn't check out pricing on these...) However, he does have some SA .223 in 2700 round "tubs" ("tubs at $440 per 2700) - also, PORT .308 at $165 per thousand. Too, "cheap 7.62X39 at $80 per k. However, don't look for any S&B 9mm: I wiped him out at $5 per box. Sorry..... paddle3 |
About $550, but they had brass deflectors. I only saw one guy selling A1 uppers sans deflector, and they looked like they were dug out of a swamp.
