1500 Aug. 28-30, 2015 What are you hoping to bring home?

[indy1919a4]

I was real please with this shows firearms Diversity.. They had something for everyone.. Can honestly say that there were at least 4 guns there that had very very reasonable prices, that I regret not getting... Where as the amount of surplus ammo was way down, there were several of the bulk ammo guys that had a lot of calibers covered at fair show prices..

Also there was a nice assortment of walk in guns...

 

[Osprey]

I saw a Kriss Vector and Tavor. Nice rifles but didn't want to pay the price. Saw few AKs. Before leaving I decided to stop at one place and ended up getting a complete AR lower. I decided to go for an AR/AK rifle and after much research here and online I'm leaning towards Mas Defense, SOTA, and Hardened Arms as my current choices (might order from Hardened Arms since they are running a special). Didn't find what I liked at the show. I might try some local LGS but I'm not sure they can beat the price and most only want cash for any discount.
Overall, the 1500 was pretty good and relatively busy. One thing I did see that I didn't expect to see in a gun show...COMIC BOOKS!!

*snip* Where as the amount of surplus ammo was way down*snip*

Yes, I was disappointed at that as well.... I was hoping to find some 54R at a good price so either I didn't see anything I wasn't willing to buy online for cheaper or I missed it.

I managed to sell my .36 to .38spl 1858 Remington conversion cylinder, picked up a set of action screws for my Mauser project, and saw some very interesting muzzle attachments that looked very much like a monocore for a suppressor.

 

[jsharmon7]

Saw a lot of folks still asking stupid prices for .22lr. The same box you can now find pretty easily at Gander/Dicks/Cabela's for around $20 was about twice that at most tables. Saw some lower end pistols (Taurus, Rossi, ATI, etc.) at very good prices. Prices so low I almost bought them just to plink at the range.

I said hello to few guy's wearing INGO gear and they scattered like cocroches. What gives, don't want anyone to know your screen name? I picked up a new barrel, floating handgaurd for an upper I have been working on. A drop in Troy handgaurd for another. Stopped by Patriot Tactical for a new kydex holster for the Glock 26.

Adkins Firearms refused to give me a price on a Ruger 10/22. Kid behind the table said he can't tell me. It's against company policy to deal with vendors. I told him he is pretty stupid considering 40% of most of my sells are from other vendors. Overall I saw a lot of reasonable prices, people were spending money and supporting small businesses.

Lastly I renewed my INGO site supporter dues allowing me to say hello to fenway and churchmouse.

 

[Hop]

I went for a new scope and left with a new scope + a KKC 10/22 stock. There's so much more that tempted me though. Lucky for my wallet!

A somewhat crazy looking thing with features I was looking for (not mine, same style though):

 

[MCgrease08]

Ive got plenty sir.

Thanks to Alan for helping me get set up with my first scope. And for not laughing when I asked which end I'm supposed to look through.

 

[ljk]

Picked up a piece of AR500 plate from Bobcat, a media separator from ED Brass and 1k of processed 9mm brass for $30. Dillon XL650 sure looked pretty nice, but wished my buddy have pulled the trigger, oh well.

 

[br9x]

Picked up a Vortex Viper HS scope from Alan good price and even nicer guy. got me squared away with base and rings for my rifle aswell took the time to explain everything to me.
There appeared to be some decent deals thruout the 1500 if you really looked for them other then the scope i went there for didntbring anything else home this time

 

[Light]

I bought some dies, a cold steel Espada, single point sling, dual mag pouch (molle) for my vest, shemagh, some other small things.
Seemed great for my first time going.

 

[Tomahawkman]

I arrived on a tight budget but left with 2 boxes of 9mm federal 124 Grain HSTs for a great price. (should of bought 3) Really just went to kill some time and get my hands on a few sigs and a glock 43.

 

[Birds Away]

I went with no expectations and left with nothing. I still had a great time and hope to make it again next time.

Went with a wad of cash but nothing grabbed me. Was really looking for a 5.56 AK and didn't see a single one.

Indy 1500

Found some 7n6 and some yellow box Norinco 7.62 x 39mm. Missed out on two spam cans of 7.62 x 54R at $105 apiece. We left them for later...and then they were gone.

 

[DWT]

I also saw new Glocks in 40S&W for $359 apiece. We probably should have picked up a couple. It was a better 1500 because I went with a friend and my son came along.

 

[Pharaoh]

I went really hoping to find a good deal, but nothing caught my eye or got me to jump. Only thing i bought was a set of custom earplugs from ShootersEars.

In hindsight, I probably should've jumped on the Glock 43 deal I saw. Just wasn't in the mood I guess.

Where was that? Are you sure those were not police trade in's?

YES, I said something to two different people, wearing INGO hats, and they said NOTHING !!!!!

 

[southpaw]

I bought a little knife from Battle Horse Knives. Anyone know the name of the company selling the lockpicks? I was going to go get a set but forgot.
