Gonzales Gun Show

[barbarossa]

Wasn't half bad. Ammo was available for fairly reasonable prices, except .22LR. Dealers were asking $10 for 50 rounds of cheap American Eagle, and $90+ for 500 round bricks. Lots of really old looking ammo boxes, apparently decades old. Target grade .22 was plentiful, Eley, Tennex, etc.

I made a mental note of the "$10 for 50 rounds of .22LR" guys. Normal prices will return, my business for them will not.

Some guy was selling American eagle .223 for $97.50 for 100 rounds which I had a good laugh and walked away from his booth. I did however buy a bit of pmags for $14 each which I was quite happy with.

Yeah, still pretty much the same things I noticed...I managed to get 100 rds of 8MM for a decent price but wasn't going to pay what all of them wanted for .223, 9mm, .22lr, etc...these guys need to get real. Problem is I think they paid primo price to start with and am now trying to not loose too much now that the prices are dropping. They will eventually end up losing money if that is whats happening..Lucky for us here on BS we are pretty much educated on what stuff actually costs.

I went today and took my little girl to her first gun show. Shes two and she behaved pretty well the whole time we were there! (small victories) I got a few quotes on some gunsmithing and ended up walking out with a Benchmade 940 Osborne that I got a pretty nice deal on. Fantastic knife. I was altogether happier with this show than many of the recent past shows I've been to. AR prices still had me laughing though.

I've got 20 rounds of 8mm ammo that I don't need, PM me.

I went saturday, picked up some NIB S&W's from the Old fella in the aisle just when you went in the door.
