How was the PDX Gun Show

[PhysicsGuy]

Got to meet Joey and Jenny, impressed with their proffesionalism and personal demeanor. They were nice people too LOL LOL

Jim! where the heck were you? I wandered around trying to find you like 2 times after you stopped by when I was gone.

I was there today between 11:00 am and 3:00 pm. The Surplus Ammo booth had quite a few 1000-round boxes of Czech-made FMJ for $400. They will likely still have some Sunday.
There were also quite a few AR-15 variants for sale - uppers, receivers, and complete guns spanning a range of makers and prices. I think I only saw one Colt though - an A2 that was pretty well shot-out.

hey capdek! Did you just find us at the show today?

 

[capdek]

I was lucky enough to stumble on you before the show, but decided to become a member after stopping by your booth this afternoon.

PhysicsGuy,
Holy smokes! Could there actually be another physicist gun owner here in the Northwest?

lol, not really sorry, engineer, physics minor tho.

 

[capdek]

Hey PhysicsGuy,
I was a physics/math major, but I joined the real world many years ago as an engineer as well. Nice to meet you 'virtually'.

[PhysicsGuy]

Nice to meet you virtually too. well if you saw us at the show, then you met me already.

 

[ZeroRing]

Y'all planning to attend any of the Washington Arms Collectors shows up here in Puyallup?? Might be a good spot for a booth as well.

 

[Joe Link]

It all depends on the response we get from this show

 

[ZeroRing]

Well, if you've passed out nearly a thousand cards... :yes:

 

[PhysicsGuy]

Well, if you've passed out nearly a thousand cards... :yes:

eh, at least double or triple that.

 

[Spray-n-pray]

Well, I for one can guarantee that passing out cards helps. I came home from the show and registered! I have to agree with everyone else that has posted on this thread. The show was an absolute madhouse, and prices were pretty high. I did find one good thing though. I saw the only remaining pmag in existence!! And here I was thinking they were only a myth...I bought it, though of course it was a total rip-off. I'm just glad I was able to but my M4 at a dealer who hadn't decided to gouge everyone.....yet.

 

[ZeroRing]

Just out of curiousity... how much did the pmag cost??

 

[Spray-n-pray]

I would be ashamed to say that I paid $24 for it, but I probably would have paid more, since I have never actually seen one in person. That being said, it was the only one at the show and I REALLY wanted one. Oh well, it's only money.........

 

[ZeroRing]

Yeah... I hear you on that. I've got a bunch on order and they are supposedly 8-12 weeks out! Oh well, good thing I don't even have an AR or it would REALLY suck.

 

[Visceral]

Yeah, crazy stuff. Nothing to buy for even a half-way decent price.

 

[Buddhalux]

I still have 12 pmags on back order and am adding another 6 on friday. Dec 4th ship date won't come soon enough!!!!

Ship dates all seem to be in flux. I have six PMags on order from three different places - we'll see who delivers & when...

The Security Store had a GSG-5 for $800
