They were on the sidewalk, off the property. The lines were just so long they were almost next to each other.

They were all the way over past the McDonald's?

I'm wondering who owns the whole complex, from the moment I drive onto the parking lot.

Dirty Harry reference?

From rewatching the movies the other week I'm pretty sure he wasn't a liberal...

Just left. Bulgarian 30r ak74 mags 75 bucks. AR's from two to four thousand. Very crowded and everyone wants top dollar on mags..223 higher than a dollar per round. Still worth the trip today, got what I needed.

I went up, saw an hour-long line to pay to get in...and another hour-long line to actually enter.

I've been to gun shows in Maryland, Virginia, Florida, California, and the UK. None of them are worth 2 hours of lines. Got back in the car, drove home.

Would you say they seller has gone "Plum Crazy"? At this point if you don't have it already, it's probably not worth trying to buy. I'm going to stick to shooting .22LR for now.

LOL I honestly just went to see how crazy things were, and was going to pick up some 10/22 Magazines, or PMag's if they were $20 or so. Didn't see anything like that so I came back empty handed.

I did get to check out some pistols since most of those tables were empty with no one standing in front of them. I got some new idea's for stuf I want now.

Both lines were to enter. You could pay and enter. I only waited 15 minutes maybe? Maybe a little longer. Wasn't bad, had some protestor say something stupid to me but aside from that the wait was a breeze. Inside, different story. Was chaotic after an hour in, I entered at about 3:30 and by 5:00 I'd had enough. I zeroed in on the supplies I needed, priced a few vendors, bought it up and got out.

Heard a lot of vendors mentioning inventory coming in, so I'm hoping the initial peak crazy is calming down. I found an awesome deal on some 74 mags but most vendors were selling them for 75 a pop, not kidding.

The .223 ammo was one of the big goldmines today from what I could tell. I saw cans of 500 for sale for 625 and some of the prices had marker through them and new higher prices listed. It was nuts.

Anyway, good luck to anyone headed there I still think it was worth it, just don't buy the first thing you see and take your time, price things and you'll be fine.

I thought this show was worthless. Stupid amounts of people paying asinine prices. My gf got a pmag for 20 and she kinda regrets spending that much. Got a lpk, buffer tube, and components. Show sucks other than that. Its incredible the mark up some of these vendors are putting on their stuff.

 

[Howe]

Crazy line. Best get there early. Becareful there are two lines, one for people who already have tickets, and one for folks need to buy ticket. Make sure you stand in the right one.

-Not much of glock 17 mags left, and they are going for 30 to 45 for the 17 rds. 33 rd are going for 100 to 120. Even the korean 33 mag are going for 30 bucks.

-healthy supply of pmag, but you will find them between 35 to 45. GI mags are about 25.

-Right by the food court, a vendor is selling the tapco ar mags for 25, decent price if your want polymer mags. Troy mags is about 35 a pop too.

-one of the vendor by the far right corner has a big bin of tapco ak mags 7.62x39 going for 14.95. Everyone else jack up their price to 25.

-GA ammo is NOT at the show!!

-223 are going for about $1 a round, and people are buying it as if they found gold!!

Good luck, and expect the price to go even higher tomorrow and sunday, its gonna be just like the York show.

My buddy and his GF went. He wanted a SIG556R and she wanted an AR, they both came to their senses. I tried to warn them what the prices were going to look like.

I needed 20rd magazines and snagged some on Dec 21 online. I got 10 20rd translucent smoke Lancer L5s AWMs in for $18.50 each and 5 in translucent brown (they cost more for some reason, even before the current mag rush). All have shipped thankfully.
