Gettysburg Show Sept 3-4

Did anyone else have trouble getting there because a portion of 15 was closed? My GPS took me 1/2 hour out of the way… and nearly down a gravel road into the woods….

Round receivers were $100 hex $125. Saw a couple 300 dollar finns. Zero m91s. Mosin ammo best price was 90 a tin. I was not impressed on the Mosin side.

+1 Go through downtown Gburg, dont take 15 east!

I was just fitting the sites to the rail checking for fitment and decided to snap a picture their position is irrelevant for that purpose. I still need to fit my eotech and magnifier and set the sites up for co witnessing.

Umm, your sights are on backwards. That's all I'll say about that.

No it's correct. just like me... Blade in the front.... Ring in the rear.

Yeah, that's not what I was referring to...

Saw quite a surprising amount of Finnish Mosin stuff, some of it quite rare, brought home a new 91/30 for the collection $100 OTD, lots of laminated stock Mosins, I thought prices were far better than the Frederick show, and the out of state dealer had no problem taking my money. Usually 7.62 x 54 R is better purchased online, someone had two spam cans of Romanian but they wanted $125 each, way too high. One dealer had an obvious Century repro 91/30 PU sniper priced at $1200, ouch!

well then i have no idea what you were talking about.

 

[ATTom]

Mosins were.100 at the one table. No 74 mags ...I was pisses.

Just turn them around is what he means, their in the right posistion, just facing the wrong way. The activation buttons go towards the front. You have them facing the rear.

YES I followed the gps and it took me in a big circle right back to the detour sign. I was getting really pissed!

 

[jessestone]

from a guy in back i got great deals on S&W MP-15 22 , GSG 1911, and Advantage Arms 22 G17 magazines!!! Everything I went for at one table

 

[rseymorejr]

Then you went to the right one, but I was about to purchase a saiga 7.62x39 and was told by some dealer from Richmond that they just would not sell to MD residents or transfer to a MD FFL. Since we are all criminals

He's just doing his part to close that Gun Show Loophple

 

[psoyring]

It really did suck trying to find the place, there was Zero signage anywhere until you got to the entrance.

I saw that too- I started laughing when I saw the price (I don't think the dealer appreciated that ). I got my repro for a quarter of that price.

 

[Mr BoomStick]

That was rather funny the 1200.00 repro. Sad thing is someone will probably buy it at some point, although we can hope it doesn't happen, and as for my sites on my new upper as i said before i was just checking for fitment some rails are larger, and i hadn't gotten my eotech on yet. I snapped a quick pic because you always get the this post is useless without pic's comments. it is irrelevant to even make asinine comments that serve no purpose or attempt to make yourself appear superior in any respect. I was referring to the original comment.

GPS users... back in the day, we used to have these things called maps. They were made out of paper and one had to learn how to "read" them... ;-)

Just like gunbroker a lot of retailers wait for the wandering idiot, and there usually is at least one (though since quantity is a foundation of business I am not sure this is a good strategy). Someone wanders by, its cool, they want it they are flush with cash and low on IQ (maybe we have all overpaid on something) they buy it. Retailer walks away with spreading around money. A less nefarious version are the old timers at Chantilly that pay for a table and bring the same stuff over and over at twice its value. Frankly I think they just like getting out, and I have never seen them make a sale.

That said it is a diabolical business practice and not conducive to general success.
