Ill be wearing my Team AR15.com hat and probably carrying a black Rem 870 around. Going with my father and grandfather as usual, ill be the younger one of course Sweet, I'll look for you. I'll be the guy wearing non-descript, non ARFcom clothing (cause I dont own any). I'll just walk around making some heinous noise though, so people can identify me. What sort of black 870 do you have? |

What sort of black 870 do you have? Synthetic Express Supermag, have no use for a 3.5" because it gives me a massive fucking headache everytime i shoot it lol I also might be wearing a Tan jacket depending how cold it is. Ill be the tall skinny one of the group lol |

Is there ever good deals on steel cased ammo? I recently shot a bunch of it, and my Stag ate it up without fail. I'd like to try more. Can you even get ammo there? If i recall, there is this Steel (i think) cased 223 that comes in a plastic, almost shrink wrapped, bag that comes 50 inside. Its the same vendor that sells nothing but ammo, he is usually in the back left corner of the building (valley forge) near the reloading supplies. I dont know who makes it or the size bullet or w/e but i do know its more accurate than Wolf and shoots without a hiccup. The Steel case isnt a polished case either, but it doesnt have that thick lacquer shit that wolf has |

No such thing as a good deal on ammo anymore. Last show Wolf .223 was between $279.00 and $299.00 a case. Can't wait to see what it is this time. |

lol i got a case of 223 wolf for the price of 500 last valley forge Ok, sounds like a deal to me. I went one other time, but didn't notice. Do people generally take credit cards there, or is it all cash only? Alot of dealers take credit cards but almost all of them will charge you a 3% fee. |

Just got back, and what a fucking mess. Most crowded one yet. Got there at 9 and the line was a mile long but thank god it went fast due to 2 booths. But man, i think they sold out of powder, primers and everything else within an hour there and i had to wind up going to Kings Shooters Supply down the road on the way out to get my stuff. He also had a nice GSG5 for 499. Wound up just getting a few rounds of 308, and little bit of 223 at the gun show, some powder, bullets and primers at Kings. Sold an 870 Super Mag though, now i have some cash to finish a project.
I fucked up this time and missed the exit to the turnpike and wound up having to ride allllll the way through the slums of Philly

Is that an MFI low-profile mount? Yes, best mount out there. Just gotta make sure to get high enough scope rings to fit over the rear sight, i didnt have any that big so i used YHM risers

I'm looking for a cheap Del-Ton/Model1Sales type rifle kit. Was there anything like that at the show? What about .223, 7.62x39, 12 gauge ammo prices? Thanks guys I honestly didnt check ammo prices this time, its the first time i didnt buy a bulk amount of shit but i can tell you, dont count on there being much left, if any at all |
It was real crowded Left my house at 5:30 AM and made the 125 mile trip in a little over 2 hours. Was at the door waiting to get in at 8 am.There was about 20 people there at the time.At nine I made a bee-line over to TNT and picked up about 35 lbs of different powders..Within 20 minutes he was swamped. After paying I was going to bring the stuff out to the truck and come back in to walk around,the line was so long to get back in I said srew it and walked around for about 45 minutes lugging my powder around. Didnt really get to look at everything as I just shot my wad on reloading supplies and was broke

ETA- Yes handgun ammo (esp .45) was no where to be found. BTW hope you all got a good laugh at the slack jaws going to the baseball card show downstairs, I never understood the whole collecting worthless shit idolizing retards. Some people will never get it. |

I was three or four heads behind two guys waiting in line for the card show( YES the whole line for the gun show @ 9am.) they got up to the guy in front of the ticket booths, telling everyone guns need to be checked. They asked him "who are you with?" as in WTF kind of card show is this????? They bugged out when they figured it all out.
Can you imagine standing behind men with rifles slung over their shoulders in a mile long line and it STILL doesnt click for you? |

I was inches away from a sweet 870 tactical I've been waiting for. Th eone with the picatinny rail, ghost ring sights and breech choke. I inched along towards it as one guy after another finger fucked it and put it down. I began to succumb to the urge to impulse buy it as I got closer. Finally one dude in front of me stopped and picked it up. No..... no nooo.... He asked the seller "How much will you let this go for?" NO!!! I almost crapped when the seller said $450. At this point my hand is reaching for my wallet, and I'm unsheathing the credit card. Then the dude flips it over, back again... and says "I'll take it". **darth vader voice** NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Crap, that would have been the one firearm I would have walked out of there with, knowing I had no business buying a gun yesterday. Instead I picked up a half case of wolf, and some ammo cans, and mags. All in all I think the show got better since the last one I went to a few months ago. I saw way more ARs and AR crap. |
