The 1500

its not a glock though thats its main appeal.

I only go for odd and rare parts these days, military clone stuff. HAve found lots of things people didn't notice.

there were some decent ammo prices, but then again i gotta tote that crap a quarter mile or more to the car so, eh 40 bucks on 1000 rounds probably aint worth it to me. Alot of accessories, didnt shop long guns much, but for pistols it really was not great. Didnt see a single hi power, one sig stainless, and a few czs those were the 3 on my shopping list.

Did you see the 2 or 3 CZs that ZX had? The one's price looked pretty good from what I have seen from my limited shopping...but there weren't many that I noticed on tables.

I agree on lead. I have bought projectiles for reloading there before...and its not worth the tote to the car for what I save. I usually take a backpack if I'm going to buy something that heavy...and it still hurts.

"But"......it is striker fired. That is not for me. I do not like striker fired pistols. JMHO of course. Some love them. Me, not so much.

Im pretty fond of the striker fired. I will say I have been seeing more sigs (DA/SA) moving in and the glocks are getting placed towards the back line.

Does anyone know if any SCAR17's will be available at the 1500? I have been looking around for one, most places are out of stock.

I haven't seen many scars at the 1500. I want to say maybe a couple times but they usually want a premium for them.

i dont remember seeing one but wasnt looking either

I drove down to Louisville this morning, no freeze rain anywhere. It was a big Meh! Only took me an hour to finish the whole thing, lots of overpriced M1A's and M1 Carbines, muzzle loaders. I did see the most of Python's and Broomhandles under one roof.

The only thing I bought was a bat at the Louisville Slugger Museum. I and my 5 yo spent more time there than the gun show. My boy had a blast there, we sure will be back with the little one next year.

I'm always looking for odd models that you'll rarely see in your local store. I don't believe its a waste of time at all and there are always some really good buys. Example....I saw a 1979 Winchester John Wayne Commemorative with original box and paperwork for $ 1650.00.....These typically bring $2500-2900 on gunbroker
Also saw two Sig 210's. How often do you come across those in your local shop. I think I've seen one in the 5 years.

Did anyone notice that Indy Arms brought a couple Desert Tech bolt guns. Best part of the show for me. Apparently they are now signed up as a dealer. Been dreaming of a SRS-Covert in .308 or .338 and a MDR in .308 if they ever get them to market.

 

[mototc]

I was looking and didn't see any SCAR 17's. I saw one pre-owned ACR and that was it.

 

[churchmouse]

I saw a lot of good deals on Ammo/1911's/a few CZ's
So many AR's it was a maze of all of the same. Most were seriously over priced in prep for Billery.
Good crowd.
Powder and supplys were plentiful.

Anyone by chance see a Ruger Vaquero with birdshead? I'm on the hunt for the 44 mag or 45lc.

You should hit the Tipton show. I saw a couple of them there in December.

Went Saturday, got there around 1:30pm, it was crowded when I arrived. I stayed until closing. Overall had a good time, talked to a couple dealers that I know, they said "no one is buying". I didn't either, all I bought was some "super cleaner", I'll give it a shot.
The crowd started to thin by 5:00, it did make it easier to shop. A buddy that met me out there bought a Spikes Lower parts kit, Spikes buffer tube and a Magpul CTR to complete his stripped Spikes lower.

I haven't been to one in awhile, good way to spend a cold, wet & rainy afternoon.

My boys wanted to know if there are any vendors selling air soft guns?

Maybe one or two tables - not that much actually.

 

[JettaKnight]

I almost bought a Heritage Rough Rider - found a table selling them for $146. If it hadn't been for that broken water heater earlier in the week...

My wife ended up getting a cpx-1 fromZX guns for $219.99. She saw it, and said...."that's the one".
