Found out today my buddy from Greentown is setting up for this show.He's a skinny little midget with salt/pepper hair,glasses and a beard.Should have some nice stuff on the table.He's into cowboy action shooting but has modern guns like 3 AR's,modern semi-automatic pistols (Walther/Sig/Taurus/etc)& some .223 ammo + 9/40/45.Not sure of prices but you can look for yourself @ the show.
Just got home from the Franklin show. If you're looking for primers, fuggedaboutit! There was a little ammo but not a lot. Actually saw a couple of new ARs for under $1K............like $5 under. Saw a neat little double rifle. One barrel .22lr, the other 9MM. Only $3500! Since the guy didn't have a his & hers set, I passed.
Bought 80 rds of Rem UMC .223 45 gr HP for a buddy. $30 for a box of 40. Makes me glad I reload the stuff.
Good news as compared to the 1500. Free parking and only $5 to get in the door.
Not a big show by all means, but $5 to get in and free parking are a plus. I got some ammo and a case but just couldn't pry the cash out of the wallet for some the big items on the "want list"
I saw a guy with a DPMS stripped lower in a glass case - $199 - WOW
Saw another complete lower with adjustable stock - $450 - again - WOW
By far the BEST deals at this show - THE FOOD - it was cheap and they made most of it to order - most expensive item - a $6 lasagna lunch plate
Saw the DPMS stripped lower and I think the guy sold the complete lower. It was on display my first pass through but was gone shortly. I wasn't the least bit interested in buying, just noted the prices.
I never thought about eating at the show. I went straight there from having breakfast at Don & Donna's in Franklin.
I bought a small zippered, camo pistol case for $4
I was looking to trade my 66 for a nice semi-auto, didn't happen.
I tried getting a Ruger Vaquaro with stag grips but the guy had no
idea how to make a deal. I tried getting another 39A, didnt happen. So I
guess i'll just sit here and play with my new zippered, camo pistol case.
