Howard County Fairgrounds Gun Show Feb. 6th & 7th

Dave Greenberg · Feb 6, 2016

Be there a little after noon wearing an attractive but unenthusiastic fiancee and two kids.

Doug S · Feb 6, 2016

I'm thinking about heading that way in a couple of hours, if reports indicate anything worth perusing...

atom33 · Feb 6, 2016

parking available, 4wd helps-some melting snow & soft spots.

No line to get in, shows fairly busy, but not packed now.

Jim12 · Feb 6, 2016

OK, I've succumbed to temptation, am heading over there shortly. Arrival by noon.

Alphabrew · Feb 6, 2016

Oh chit, didn't realize this was this weekend. I'll swing by after work.

ironpony · Feb 6, 2016

Hmm I see no powder. Some expensive primers. 75% full of vendors.

bearabledust · Feb 6, 2016

Wasn't planning on heading over, but the wife has a migraine, so I'm getting the hell out of the house. Should be there by 11:30.

Melnic · Feb 6, 2016

I am a little disappointed the precision firearms is not here. I was looking for some quality ar parts.

Parking lot was full when I passed by at 11:30.

I found a bag of virgin winchester 325 WSM brass for $25, that was quite a bargain. I got a box of 25 ACP ammo to feed my little beretta. Other than that, I saw a bunch of ammo at the same cost, or more than I can buy at the store. No model 70s, model 99, or pre-64 model 94s, so no guns I was really interested in buying. I generally just go looking for reloading components these days.

I did have fun talking to the old man in line about old guns, and great finds at past gun shows though.

redsandman6 · Feb 6, 2016

The parking lots look full because some people don't know how park and they have snow piles everywhere. It was more crowded than the last show here.

I got some match 308 ammo. I still can for the life of me understand why some vendors have a 20 yrs old box of 308 fmmg for over $30. When another vendor has new boxes for $28.

It seems like I always leave with a new to me book and a candy bar from the scouts.

I doesn't help that the grass parking on the side of the building is closed due to mud.

A well-attended show, it seems. I got there around 1030, and found out that MSI was already jumping and the aisles were pretty full.

Saw a few folks, chatted with Raineman and Rainewoman for a while, and I may have talked them spending some of their hard-earned on something they hadn't considered

So, with Karma-as-penance, I discover a HiPoint 4095 at Accurate Pawn... Damn... :lol2:

So, I meander about a bit, check back in with MSI (still going house afire), and wander back to talk to Gus. He gave me a number I just couldn't refuse. DOUBLE DAMN!

So, I now have the trifecta of MonkeyGuns...

Great news! The ATF has a booth as soon as you walk in on the right! Be sure to ask about purchasing machine guns cash and carry with no background check through their "Fast and Furious" program. Tell them Eric Holder sent you.

I saw a Tula SKS non-refurb (two actually) for $600. Was a good price but I didn't bite. Got 4 .30cal ammo cans for $20, Surefire M4 light for $40, and some other random chit.

agents looks sooooo lonely, no one stopping by to see them

got a poncho liner and some mini mags. Well attended show, lots of good stuff.

bearabledust · Feb 6, 2016

Decent show. Didn't find anything I couldn't live with out, but I really wasn't looking for anything. Not to crowded, steady flow of people coming and going.

I was going to harass him but there was another dude there giving him chit and I actually felt sorry for the agent. :lol2:

Will be there tomorrow all day at the Monumental Rifle and Pistol Club booth. Working today.

I don't understand why people would do anything but ask questions. The agent there doesn't make policy nor do they have any idea usually WHY the policy exists. I think sometimes people just want to feel good about themselves by taking it out on someone who is just there trying to help people understand what the law is. I know you mean harass in a good way.

Grampa G · Feb 6, 2016

Was there about 11:30 with my son and 2 grandsons. Had no problem with parking and the crowd wasn't bad either. Bought a couple items for the kids and since I didn't find anything for myself I dropped off a check to MSI.
