Last day for prebans and preban prices.

Are you going to change your name to postsunset?

Not a chance, I'm saving my money for the party on the 14th.
Besides, I have plenty of jerky and kettle corn saved up.

I'll probably go on Sunday. You never know what kind of last minute deals you'll find.

Got any IDF slingy wingies?  Are you coming to GARRYOWENFEST?  If so Bring some IDF SLINGS, Please.  I could use another couple.

Trying to justify the show this weekend.  Only thing I want is a new SIG 226 with new 15 round mags in the box.  I am probably going to have to order one to avoid all the old (postban)stock.  It is tough holding on to $700 cash and nobody has what I want.  

Obviously I will be a few days too early for this purchase.   The best excuse I can come up with is to see if the gougers are still asking $2000 for pre-ban Colt AR15's

No mags.

Plenty of IDF Slings. Don't think I'll be at the LoveFest, however.

Yeah, WTF.  Buddy and I will be there Saturday afternoon.  Will give me a chance to look for the SIG I want, even if it will have the "low-cap magazines".  If someone manages to sell me one it will be at a great price because I wont spend more than a dollar for 10 round magazines.

Looks like Sunday for me too.

Wher're all the YHM parts?

Probably not be able to resist getting another stripped lower either . . .

I'll take the zero on this show.

When I was setting up today, saw a guy with DPMS post-ban rifles on the table..."sale price" of $749.  

Thought about offering $600 with the phrase, "come Tuesday, nobody will want these...".

Another guy had a pre-ban Bushy w/Surefire forearm light and front hand grip for....$1,850! LOL

Ok, so who went today and what did you get/get rid of?

Went to the show.......not worth it. No great deals other than ammo(Miwall, J&G)....and they are at every show.

Saw a few well used Colt "Preban" rifles(6601 and a 6530) for the low low price of $2400-2600.

Hopefully those dealers didn't sell a buck's worth of crap today-- maybe it'll loosen 'em up for me tomorrow.

if youre referring to Mike Detty, I think he may be there.  Ill wait for someone else to respond for sure.  He' is a GREAT guy to deal with

[#23]
yep, Mike Detty was there. Had DPMS, and Eagle Arms stripped receivers. I almost got one.
I was hoping Ameetek Arms would be there so i could get one of his lowers.  Ameetek was not showing today, and neither were the guys from Cav Arms. I was bummed, the only reason i went was to get an Ameetek receiver, and some Cav Arms furniture.l

I went and screwed myself over in the process. I went in search of an EOTech, and for some freakin unknown reason (even to me), I passed a brand new EOTech up for some AimPoint Replica. Cost me a very pretty penny. Worked great and looked good when I bought it. So I thought I'd better check it to make sure it all worked (after I bought it, ). The rheostat wouldn't work properly. So I traded it for another that checked out. Now, 24 hours later, it has the same problem. The guy told me it has a lifetime warranty, which I think I will be using at the next gun show he's at. I'll be getting all of my money back, and I will be buying that EOTech no matter what. I still can't figure out why I made such a dumba** mistake.

I ended up getting an Eagle Arms receiver from Mike.  I let him talk me into an Armalite CAR stock for $60 too.  Not very racey but it looks good and works.

Nope, didn't see any YHM stuff.  Oh well, plenty of dealers hear anyway.  Might save up a few bucks first too.

Looks like we continually missed each other.  I was there from opening to the bitter end.  Mission semi-accomplished...

10/22 folding stock
10/22 AGI video
10/22 magazine speed loader
(Gee, could Mike be contemplating a build..?)  
5lb bag of walnut media
Nifty l'il book on the old original Maxim suppressors
Two original SKS 10-round mags (who else has noticed that the aftermarket ones are absolute crap?)

I got to see preban AR's going for anywhere between $795 for this REALLY old one-- never even heard of the name before-- to the $2,500.00 M4geries that One-Eyed Jack has.  AR mags were anywhere from $13 to $50 each. 10/22 25+ round bannana mags were anywhere from $20 to $100 each; those nifty teardrop drums were $75 - $300.  I really hope someone makes a copy of the old Stanford/AMT thompson-style 10/22 drums; I'm NOT going to pay $400 for one.

The only disappointment was not finding a solid used stainless 10/22.  I found some new ones at $225-$240, one used for $200 (new is $205 at wally world!), and got to hear that AZ Shooters world sold two yeaterday for $139.95 each.  

One memorable quote from some guy wandering around with an AR...

Me:  Hey, how much..?
Guy:  $1,800.00.  It's a Green label Colt.
Me:  (sounding positive for the guy's benefit) Ah, okay-- good luck with it..!
Guy:  You're not interested..?
Me:  Nah, the ban's going away and...
Guy:  ...goddamnit, that's just terrible.  The best price I'm getting for this rifle is $600 from some jerk dealer.  Damn expiration.
(guy wanders off)

Yeeeeah.  I'm taking a bath on one of my prebans-- but I'll gladly take a personal financial bath to have some national Constitutional rights restored.

All in all though, still a good show.
