Rickreall gun show, June 9-10. Who will be there?

[PDXSparky]

I'm sorry I was wrong about Miwall being at this show. Their online calender was correct.

How are ammo prices/supply?

Plenty of supply, but prices were pretty much retail. Best deal I saw was a case of Sellier & Bellot for $.20 a round.

I don't know retail prices of most guns, but since I just bought a M&P 22, I do know that the MSRP is $419. I saw 2 for sale there. One was $389, the other was just a little more. I payed $361 thru galleryofguns.com

There were a couple of M1 carbines for $450 and I was very temped....

I did buy some 30 cal ammo cans, $10 each, a .22 bore snake for $16, and a jumping target made from 1/4" AR500 for $35.

It was an OK show, but just OK. Now to wait for the ARCP show in Albany in September.

This was awful compared to earlier shows. I don't care what the ad says, there was half as many vendors as usual. The tables were set further apart with wide aisles( meaning there wasn't enough vendors to fill the space) and the back room wasn't even being used.
I saw little of the swap meet, flea market, mixed bag, and alot of cheap knives,gunshop old stock and lots of chinese crap.
I guess I'd go to the next one, I don't really have anything else to do and it got me out of the house.

I was sure surprised at the show.......worse Rickreall show I have been to. Fewer tables and too much non related stuff.
Always been a great show in the past, I'll give-em another chance.

Agree with the above opinions----not the Rickreall show I've come to expect, and I've been going for a L-O-N-G
time. Fewer vendors, half empty tables. Not as bad as the Salem shows were getting, but NOT Rickreall. Was there
another show going on somewhere? I did pick up 10,000 Federal 150 large pistol primers for $250. Not a screamin'
deal, but OK.

If they get all of this feed back they may go back to two shows a year..Instead of trying to do 3 a year..

canby gun show showed a big price jump last month, this was the same. people will only spend so much. vendors see a pattern ???

Sounds like the economy is having and effect on hobby spending ? I know I have to watch it. It is all about supply and demand in the end? I will check out Albany in September. Closer to home too. Gas here is still very high!
