Slidell Gun Show

[WHEELER]

oldsman350 I remember the last time they had the slidell gunshow I was cruzing around the tables and came across an AR180 just sitting their all buy its self for $600. Of course the wife didn't let me make a withdrawl from my DOD budget. Hopefully it might be there again cause I'd deffinetly like to try and trade my XD.45 for it. Either the AR180 or I'd love to get a berretta 92 I'm in love with that pistol.

I saw an ar180, forget the price but it was over 1k... want to say $1600

The prices at cabelas and acedemy were better than the ones I saw on production guns. On surplus, just take the price from most distributors and double it, I saw a sanitized Mauser for $350 and a russian SKS the guy wanted $450 also Colt SP1 $2000.

I will stick to the beef jerkey, obama stickers, and airsoft items.

I went. Same ole same ole, but better than the last one I went to. I picked up a Glock G19 for 425. Not bad, I have been looking. Lots of handguns and rifles on tables, some priced better than others. I hoped to sell my G22 gen 2 with lasermax but had no luck. I left by 11am.

Anybody ever trade a gun with a dealer selling something at a table. Just curious as to how they operate with trades.

Gun shows are no longer an interest to me, I'm not paying 8 bucks to go see junk. I can get a better deal on Glock through the GSSF program, and buying through a local dealer for other stuff keeps them in business. Gun shows are a thing of the past, years ago was great, but now like everything else, the thrill is gone.

They normally allow you 50% to 60% of the value of your gun on a trade or the same amount with them buying your gun outright.

Anyone see any Saiga 12's?

Anyone see any Saiga 12's?

I saw some, at one table.

I went today, this show pure sucked. I think the only one worth going to is the one in Kenner. There prices today were astronomical. Luckily, I had planned to go to Honey Island anyway, so the day wasn't wasted

 

[VagabondLiberty]

Random question, but does anyone remember any of the prices on a M&P 9, M&P 9 Pro or an HK45?

I seen two under 600. I think they were 559.00 and then I seen one unconverted for 900+

Seen a few S-20 and S-14s too.

I went on Saturday. Unfortunately, due to work scheduling, I rarely get to attend a gun show in this area. I forced myself to get up early and went and spent an hour just as it opened. I could of easily spent 3 hours looking around. I will agree that I didn't see "great" prices compared to places on the net or local dealers.

I think the price of admission was fully worth it, just to see the variety of guns and other things that I don't get to see up front on a usual basis. And the variety I've seen in local Slidell stores is pretty slim.

Anyway, I guess I'm in the minority here, but I had a good time ... although I had to limit my viewing to just handguns as I was short on time. Would have loved to look at the rifle tables.
