Someone needs to tell some of those guys that the primer shortage is over.

$65 brick for primers?

They probably bought them for $85 a brick when you could not get them and only want to take a little beating on them instead of a total loss.

14 hours until I am at the gun show, can't wait, sounds like it is going to me a good one....

 

[cetme]

I'm glad the candle lady is there. As a rule of thumb, per $100 I spend on gun stuff my wife gets a candle. Domestic policy.

That is great, mine wants a gun every time I bring one home.

it was a fun show. I went on friday couldn't find my zastava but i did find some .22lr for cheap. To bad keith was in his regular "oh your trying to find a off name brand -insert brand name- pistol? Yeah we dont have that!" but i know that is how he is. i just wish i would have picked up some 9mm, oh well. There is always next month

 

[TOVO]

Do you know who the vendors were that had the 9mm?

As you come in they are on the left towards the back. I believe it was Nortwest Ammo.

 

[cetme]

ammo dealers are almost obvious,just look above the crowd for the banners

 

[spengo]

I spent too much money. D: I got tritium sights for my p229, a surefire x300 also for my p229 (and for my AR-15 during the PR night match coming up!), a BCM Gunfighter charging handle for my AR-15, and a very nice Benchmade spring assist knife. Woulda got auto but I work up in WA so I need something legal to carry there.

 

[elsullo]

Does anyone know if I can bring my Puppy???

Regarding Tri-Met: If anyone questions the puppy just look a little bug-eyed and say, "This is my assistance animal." You don't need any proof, and they have no right to ask any further---as long as the animal is calm and well controlled. That's the law...........................elsullo

Ammo prices have finally come down to where I am not reloading anymore.

By the time I have to start reloading again, I will have 1000s of cases ready to go.

No new guns today, but over 500 rounds of custom loaded 9mm..... Got to touch a few Benchmark Auto's, but not buying one until I can go to Dan Dee's next week (wow, hard to wait)...

 

[motohead185]

did you guys see the .30 cal MG?

 

[TonsOfOregonBrass]

did you guys see the .30 cal MG?

Which one?

There are usually several machine guns at the show.

Benchmark??? Never heard of them, did you mean Benchmade?

Yes I did Sandman, thanks for the correction.... Long day at the show...

no problem, you can also go straight to the Benchmade plant and buy in the store there if you didn't know. they are in OC

Definitely got great deals to be had on ammo, 9mm was cheaper than could be found online, and some great prices on 7.62x39 as well. Picked up a few hundred rounds of each as well as some .32acp and a couple of AK magazines. Bought enough stuff that parking and admission cost less than it would have to ship all of that stuff so I figure my money was well spent, especially since checking stuff out in person is just more fun than online.

One thing that troubles me though... maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention since I was in a bit of a hurry, but I couldn't find any place that had decent holsters. Seems like all I saw being sold were cheap nylon holsters or the ornate cowboy variety.

 

[cetme]

quality holsters were far and few between there.i ended up with a german police issue shoulder holster for 20.00 made my day! good leather was hard to find unless you went to the table with huge tupperware bins.lots of crap holsters,most worn out or if you could find a serviceable one he wanted 50 or 100 for it!
