The Wrecking Crew will be at Shelly's Cafe across the street chowing down before the show Saturday AM. Come say hi. I recommend an omelet.

My recommendation is the pepper/sausage gravy and biscuits. Mmmmmmmm.
Likely see you there Kirk.

I have never been to this show but thought I might head down there since I will be just north of Lafayette Saturday. What can I expect size wise, etc.

 

[Shiban]

Awww. I'm headed north to Michigan to do some steelhead fishing this weekend.
Next time...

 

[weedsnager]

How does this show compare to crown point?

Usually around 250 tables.

Nice show - moderate size - similar in size to Kokomo, Tipton, and the like. Free parking, $5 entrance fee, decent food at the small vendor at good prices.

Although the variety of items is not as great as Indy, sometimes some prices on guns and Ammo are better. Last show I bought 5k of SR mag primers for $34 /M. Bought some bullets (cheaper than the Indy show last week) and a few other items.

Son, a friend and I will be attending on Sunday.

 

[Work]

I'll be there some time Saturday morning. If you're within a 30 minute drive, it's worth the $5

 

[Bradsknives]

I'll be there with some blades!

 

[Knife Lady]

Brad will have 4 tables of BLADES including mine.

 

[tranders]

Thanks for the heads up. I will be there Saturday morning.

 

[downlinx]

I will be there with two of my kids

 

[Spikedog]

I'll be there with my son. Probably at Shelly's before too.

 

[Mr. Neal]

I plan on attending. No plans for the weekend. Hopefully will be some decently priced reloading supplies.

 

[gregkl]

Just got back. My favorite reloading supplier was out of primers and didn't have much selection of powder. FMJ and plated projectiles were to highly priced for me to bite.

Elsewhere, .22LR is still crazy; $50-$80 per brick. They can sell it to other people who have deeper pockets then me. I'll just leave the guns in the safe. I am okay with that.

And this is what I don't get: shotgun shells. They are plentiful pretty much everywhere, but at the show they are trying to get 2-3 times the going rate from the stores.

AR prices were good. Most of what I looked at were pre-panic prices easily.

Ruger 10-22's were reasonable.

I didn't buy anything... Met a friend there and talked for awhile, then back home to the chore list.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Powder, once fired brass and bullets. I was on the powder like an INGOer on a bacon sandwhich.

Based on the pricing, apparently there is no more .22 rimfire being made in the United States.

AR prices are coming back down but I will still hold off a few months until we get to a buyer's market.

 

[Electronrider]

I actually laughed at the guy towards the front when he told me what the bricks of aguila were going for.

Picked up 1lb of varget (the only one I saw at the show), a brick of cci small pistol and a brick of cci small rifle. I over paid a little, but I needed them. Gun prices were ok, ammo was still way over priced. No screamin gun deals, the pistols me and the wife were looking at we could get at our favorite local shop for about the same price.

Worth the 5 bucks to get in and look around.
