You missed a good Battlerifle match at CRPC.I'd planned to go, but it just wasn't in the cards for me. Let me know if you're going to the show this Sunday, if so maybe we could car-pool.

Have any of you thought of chipping in for a table fee and "yard sale" misc junk or personal weapons?

I have toted stuff around and made goofy signs to hang around my neck but we could take turns manning the table.

Never done it but it seems like it would be the way to go.

I think Im going to skip this one and go to the Raliegh one next week. If you happen to notice the price on bulk 9x18 makarov, please let me know. Thanks!

Anyone back from the show yet? How was it?

Posted: 6/16/2007 11:37:59 AM EDT

Like most show at the merch. mart it sucked. Take out the jewlery and the toys and there wasn't much there execpt over price ammo and hunting rifles.

Was Outer Banks Ammo there and were there any AR15 parts dealers?

OBX ammo was there--and there was one or two small AR parts delaers, DelTon was not there. I only went because of a coworker new to the state, and also to see my good friends (and to see if there were any deals--there weren't). Village was the redeeming factor, but I have my pennies saved for another purchase next month.

zombiefragger, 9x18 makarov was there, about 8.50-10$/box.

The show was a 50/50 mix ammo/guns/trinkets and other half jewelry/toys/airsoft and other crap.

Thanks for the reports, saves me a long drive for nothing.

Sure you have...the hot sauce guy, the jewelery lady, the glass cleaner guy, the knife sharpener guy.

I usually go just to see whats new on the market......If I find something I like I come home and look on the net for one....I have had better deals with folks on these gun boards than at the gun shows.

I'm thinking of going tommorow, I'm looking for a AR lower, were there any to be had and what price/Manufacturer?

Jason

[#28]

when I left the only AR lower was a DPMS for 160 OTD.

Posted: 6/16/2007 4:54:40 PM EDT

[#29]

if you consider going to look for AR/AK parts....do not waste your time..this was by far the worst show i've been to in awhile..i hate i wasted the $7 admission

I have to agree. This show was a bust. I usually enjoy going anyway but this was pretty lame.

Some black rifles for sale but as I was looking for AR parts I was out of luck. I entertained myself by buying a $14 dollar Gerber folder and a couple more mags just so my backpack wouldn't be empty.

I ended up driving out to Shooters near Mount Holly and function fired a couple of new 6.8 mags at their indoor range.

Shooters has a reasonably good selection of AR's. Mostly Bushmaster including uppers and lowers.

They do have several stripped and complete Bushmaster lowers and at least one CMMG stripped lower but I didn't check the price.

Probably the weakest show I have attended yet. Did pick up 500 rds of Luger 9mm from Georgia Arms, but went looking for misc AK parts, which were nowhere to be found. Oh well, maybe next time.

Posted: 6/16/2007 10:19:13 PM EDT

[#32]

I went looking for surplus 30-06 and found some but overall the show was weak but slightly better than it was last year when it first started. You know a gun show is lame when Classic Arms and Firepower don't sell at a show in their own backyard.
