| Wasilla High this coming weekend, I still can't believe a gun show at a high school |
|
That show was pretty lame, and standing room only. They need to rearrange the entrance to help traffic move to the main floor.
Not much I was looking for, other than a $150 parked Victory model S&W. I put it down, and it was gone. 
Gee, I could not even find a set of 303 dies... |

Quoted:
Care to elaborate on why you didn't think it was worth the price of admission? 1. Get rid of the junk/antique sales tables. 2. Get rid of the not for sale/don't touch tables. 3. Rearrange the friggin entrance. It was tough to move, with mouth breathing brain dead morons stood in the middle of the walkway looking at shiny things or interacting with others of their kind IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FRIGGIN PATH. 4. Not much variety. I was looking for parts and reloading dies. |

ETA: Hell parts of it looked like a yard sale. |

in no particular order .. ITS A GUN SHOW , should be gun or gun related . PERIOD
1.) no junk sales (old tools , fishing gear etc) 2.) no baseball cards sales 3.) no coin sales 4.) rearrange entry way 5.) no sales of signs or garage memorabilia 6.) WTF was with the people selling scented candles ? I didnt go to the one at WHS for a long time because of this type of stuff and the one gun show last spring at the fair grounds was packed and actually had good stuff I went to this one and after about 5 minutes realized i should have saved my $$$ and went to sportsmans warehouse. Its utterly ridiculous the type of garbage for sale. The prices are always high . Sorry a 1978 winchester model 70 that looks like it was used as a walking stick/prybar/club for 600 bucks with scratches and rust isnt a deal . Shoot even the MRE's were over priced |

yeah, they could tune it up a bit, but it wasn't bad.
It was very crowded, but it felt closer to a gun show than any i've gone to in the last 4 or 5 years! I didn't find anything to buy though. Some year i'm going to break down and buy that $595 Colt 1917 I see at every show. |
