So what did you buy, and what are the good deals? (Oct. '09 Indy 1500)

[spainy79]

I got there around 8:30 this morning and enjoyed not walking into a mad house. I stopped by the 21st table (pre-INGO) and picked up a CMMG lower and a lpk. Also picked up a UTG 4 position stock and a new 6 cell mag lite to replace the one that was stolen. I was tempted to slide the card on an upper but decided to wait. 2 buddies went with me; 1 bought an 8 shot 22 mag Tauras and the other bought a Tauras Judge. I was all set to buy a G2G Glock but after looking at them for about 5 seconds I decided to pass.

I passed up a kahr 9mm at the 21st century table(I knew it was a mistake when I did not get it right off the bat), then decided to go back and get it if it was still there wich it was not. So i just ended up leaving with a couple scopes and some jerky. On the upside since I didnt spend all my money on a gun I was able to treat my father and I to some red lobster on the way home.

I bought a Schrade assisted opening knife...



I thought the Plainfield Shooting Supply booth had great prices. I almost bought a Like-New Kel-Tec P-11 there for $199. I walked away to think about it and of course it was gone about 10 minutes later.

I also thought the DM lower looked nice. I like the plain one the best, but I didn't think the logo looked too bad.

I was bummed the INGO booth wasn't set up on Friday. I was planning to pick up a Winter Cap. I'll get one next time...

Overall I thought the prices were higher than last time but a good mix of stuff.

I picked up a DPMS complete lower with 6 pos. stock for 200. Also picked up a bolt for me Romak 3 that had a broken extractor for 100

I Picked up a scope and some LeveRevolution ammo for my deer rifle, and a nice leather concealable holster for my XDsc. I met BillofRights at the INGO table then ran into Fenway, Scutter and Spasmo. I was also outed as a possible gun owner by PrintCraft, but managed to keep my cool

Fortunately, I was unable to find a .458 SOCOM upper. If I had seen one, I'd have been unable to resist.

Going back this morning to pick up a few good deals offered to me. Main one is a Glock for the GF.

I will say this, if you were looking for a used/base shotgun, they were there to be had. I directed a few people yesterday to some good buys. Any used shotgun I handled dealers came off the price without me even saying a word.

That being said, I expect the January show may be prime for some good deals on used guns. I have my "targets" marked. Does ARDysfunction have his bluing tank running yet?

My best deal

The best deal I got was that I didn't go. Two weeks ago, I was looking online for a Contender barrel in .17 Fireball and found that Match Grade Machine makes them and they were scheduled to be at the show. I emailed them and asked if they might have one at the 1500. Thought I'd be able to look their stuff over and save shipping costs (which, of course, would have been offset by parking and admission fees). They replied that they had a 24" barrel with 1:9 twist in stock if that interested me. If I wanted a different length or twist, they would make it and have it by show time. I advised them the barrel would be perfect and asked if they would hold it for me at the show. They said, rather than holding it at the 1500, they would ship it for FREE and throw in a scope base which lists for $40 on their website. I actually placed the order on Friday the 16th and the barrel was on my porch Wednesday the 21st. The show came to me!

I bought a Sig .22lr. I'll have it out at Eagle Creek today for my students.

I got searched by officer A-Hole when I asked him what the point of me removing my bullets from my mag was. His reply was so that we don't load our guns and accidentally shoot ourselves in the bathroom, my reply was what is the orange wire tie for then. For my logical observation he decided that I needed searched, he seemed really upset that he couldn't find anything to arrest me for. Guess he hasn't read the constitution he swore to defend.

I always wonder why COPS cant seem to understand why we the general population think they are a bunch of jerks.

One word,ATTITUDE!

I got sidetracked last time, but I stayed focused this time.......

1973 Series 70 Colt Commander... The gun is in excellent shape, the price was right, and now I can quit looking for one.

Beautiful Colt and a great find !
(It is a pre-80 Series, however. )

 

[wetidlerjr]

...I also met the veritable and always humorous Scutter, as well as the lovely Scutterina...

Scutter is, in fact, the thing named and not false, unreal, or imaginary ?

Yeah, well, I haven't correctly posted any pics of anything I own that someone hasn't disagreed with, so why should this be any different?

I guess I should have learned from the first go-round.

It is a great gun Jay.

Now you can start drooling over the next gun, that just has to be part of your collection.

At my age I don't need a gun to drool over.

The one and only!

(I made you look it up, didn't I )

I have been thinking about buying one for myself. I am a CZ guy and never liked plastic guns, but everybody is telling me how good they are ...

I'm a CZ guy myself, but it's a little on the large and heavy side. I'm looking at a KAHR for regular day carry.

Nothing wrong with a 70 series 1911.
