What did you get at the March 1500 Gun And Knife Show

[bloodandgutsmurphy]

I had a wonderful time at the show. I talked to some people I haven't seen in a while , meet some new people, gained some knowledge, crop dusted a little bit, and left with a very skinny wallet. I was sad to see the price of 22 still high. I traded my Lee-Enfield and some cash for a CZ-82. I purchased an extra mag and holster for it. I also acquired about 350 rounds for a fair price. The magazine release might be broken because when I apply a lot of pressure the mags are a pain to get out. I am going to clean it up tomorrow, take it to the gun smith, and if it is safe to shoot I am heading to the range.

What did you guys get?

 

[Ben Nelson]

Powder! I paid a bit more than I wanted, but I get to keep my reloading moving along.

 

[rabbitdave]

2lb of Varget 2lb of 700x and a gun bag. Getting ready for 3gun on Sunday.

 

[87iroc]

I picked up some .38 lead SWC bullets, 3 lbs of powder, 1000 primers, some INGO swag, and a plate of steel from Bobcat to shoot at. Left with a lighter wallet but had 120 still left from what I walked in with so I thought I did well. Wish I had only bought 1 lb of powder instead of 3(I didn't really need the rifle powder) but it was available...and maybe someday I'll learn my lesson to not buy right away. Glad I waited on the primers as they were cheaper farther into the store.

Most of this was aimed at helping me get into reloading soon. With what I paid for my components I should be able to produce, even at these high prices, .38 spcl ammo and .357 ammo at about 20 cents a round buying ready processed brass. I never saw it for less than about 40 cents a round at the show.

We came down on Friday and just couldn't stand to stand in the line around the building with the wind blowing all the winter sand into our eyes. Got a beer instead!!! Sunday AM is the time to go...

 

[Fishersjohn48]

5000 CCI SPP for a normal price!

And Brad got his claws into me and I couldn't resist

 

[jbombelli]

I got a couple more 15 round mags for my HiPowers, a Benchmade 275 Adamas folder (I hate folders, but I have to have this one to round out my Benchmade Adamas knives - I had the 175 and 375 already), and a sling for my AK.

That makes 2 20 round mags (with 2 more on order), 5 15 round mags, 3 13 round mags, and 5 10 round mags.

Need Moar.


I don't remember the vendor's name, but I bought a Fenix light from him a few years ago. He always seemed to be set up along one of the walls with a bunch of flashlights for sale (Surefire, Streamlight, Fenix, etc.). I couldn't find him today. I found the guy in the middle of the room that's at every show with the off brand lights I've never heard of, but that's not what I wanted. So I spent my light money on the Benchmade instead.

Peanut butter fudge? If you're nice, you'll share.

Peanut butter, chocolate and strawberry cheesecake fudge. Very good, hard to share, but saving some for my girl when she gets back from Philly Monday. My boys and I were guided there from an overwhelming cinna-Bon like smell while walking around. $7 for half pound.

[Wolfhound]

Picked up a couple of mags, some .38 special and .45 lead bullets and a tee shirt for my wife. Also got a good deal on an OD fleece jacket and some desiccant packs (one dollar each). Oh yeah, and a .311 bullet mold just in case the Russian ammo dries up for some reason.

Felt kind of weird walking out without any ammo or guns.

 

[DragonGunner]

Got 3 .50 cal cans for 24.00 A Army digital INGO hat for 10.00 And picked up another mag for the 1911 for 10.00 We saw one good deal on a AK pistol for 400.00, all others were 500 to 900. I hadn't been to one for awhile so had fun with my son and his wife....good eating at Grindstone Charleys in Kokomo afterward.

I sold my ak and bought 500 rounds of wolf gold, 3 pmags, magpul moe stock, multicam trousers, and I think the best deal I found was a pair of army combat gloves made by hwi for 5 bucks...
