Anyone going to the Chisholm Trail Gunshow this next weekend at the Kansas Coliseum in Wichita? |
| Just thought I throw out a heads up. I help a gentleman put up his display and so had a look at what was there last night (I only saw about 10% of the tables - the others were covered). There were lots of AR-15s with at least two different manufactureres selling for $595. A SVT-40 for $700, and lots of SKSs and AK-47 types selling for normal retail prices. I was expecting to see higher prices and did but I also saw very reasonable prices. THere are large scale ammo dealers there also but I didn't look at prices. Probably about 900 tables. |

I went today. XM193 190.00 per 500 at one ammo table XM193 200.00 per 500 at another ammo table +tax on both Lots of AR's, shotguns, and other goodies. I saw several very reasonably priced Oly arms and DPMS AR's. I dont remember the exact price but want to say around 600 - 800 depending on config. Only saw one 204 ruger upper and it was a Model1sales for 499.00 I believe. I thought all the prices were pretty reasonable. I picked up 2 pmags for 14.00 out the door Overall a very good show. Line to get in at 9am this morning and when I left at 11 the line was longer to get in. Almost all parking was taken. I didnt see any jerky this time around. |

No jerky to speak of, and I was actually looking for some! Most prices seemed about the same as online prices, but you didn't have to pay s&h, and I got some of them to throw in tax, so not too bad. Ammo was expensive. Walked out with: MI gas block front flip sight for $70 GG&G MAD BUIS for $70 Magpul rail covers for $11 ea. Magpul MIAD (full set) for $45 PRI 6.8 mags -- 5rd for $30 and 15rd for $35 (not great, but not bad) 2 .50cal ammo cans for $8 total Hornady 110gr. TAP 6.8SPC for $21/box. |
