Fort Wayne Gun Show

[slackerisme]

I'll be there around 1 this afternoon.

Anybody have a report on today?

 

[INMIline]

Very small. Only the really big stores seem to be busy. ZX and Midwest are competing against each other resulting in $489 Glock 9mm with 3 mags. ZX has cases of PMC Bronze .223 for $399 a case. Only thing I saw worth while were 2 very clean stainless Mini 14s on a table but I didn't check price. AKs and ARs on the private tables are over priced. Almost no ammo.

Thanks George. I'll still go, if nothing else to kill some time. Notice anybody selling AR uppers?

Maybe I should take my Norinco AK or Bushmaster AR and see what kind of offers I get.

 

[INMIline]

I didn't see any uppers. That's what I went for.

 

[slackerisme]

I saw a few uppers, lady right inside had 3 on a rack, 2 bull and one standard barrel I believe. Just around the corner from her was an overpriced bushmaster.

i go to every one at the coliseum. i was pleased this time around in a few respects....one, there were quite a few of stripped lowers available, from $100-$150. still high, but nowhere near the prices about 6 mos ago. ($200-$250-- and no one had them!!)

ditto on the overpriced AK's and AR's. lots more candy this time around.

yeah- no ammo, no real good deals....but i really felt like things are calming down a bit.

i did get a (demilled) hand grenade for $8. killer paperweight.

 

[Hoosier Glocker]

The show was small, but better than it usually is. I got a new Glock 19 for $459 + tax, as cheap as I've seen them for a while. There were more dealers selling ammo than usual, but of course no good deals. I was there when it opened and most people went straight to the ammo tables, anything with a half way decent price would have been gone right away.

The show was smaller in size as it is in one hall. It has more dealers and tables than the previous shows, since they added more rows of tables and the aisles are smaller. There were many different vendors than there were in the past also.

 

[edsinger]

Got some 9mm Ranger 147G +P for $30 (50)
Speer Gold Dots 124G +P for $30 (50)
Ruger P95 $340.....

Not bad, much better than the last one I went to. Now I have to test my Xd9 and P95 when I get my LTCH...

 

[IN_Varmntr]

I think I already know the answer to this, but were there any large pistol primers to be had?

 

[edsinger]

I saw some boxes of primers but didnt notice the caliber, sorry.

 

[hotrodtba]

I saw primers, but they were like $100 per thousand or more. Yea right.

I went on Saturday, bigger than the last one I went to about a year or so ago, still not as good as Indy. Sold my M11/9 there, bought a kit to make cherry bombs. I've always liked the Allen county show that they have up at the fairgrounds hall.

Whens the next one? I might tag along with you to that one.

 

[RickBinFW]

Did anyone go to the gun show in Fort Wayne this weekend? I couldn't go, since I am out of town.

 

[IN_Varmntr]

I went anyways, and found the $100/k primers. I laughed when he asked me if I was interested in anything.

Found a Colt 1911 I really really wanted, but decided to let it pass. I still don't know exactly which one I want yet.

I must say it was much better than the one I went to last year. Hopefully they come back around.

Allen county or Indy?

 

[hotrodtba]

Allen county or Indy?

Allen county.

i went to the show. better than previous one i attended (November). prices on AR's and mini-14s were very reasonable imo. i was disappointed that there weren't more older revolvers.
