Had a good time, but didn't see any huge deals. Bought some ammo, but couldn't find the Marlin .357 lever action I am looking for.

Was anybody selling fudge? I've never seen that at a Lafayette gun show

Almonds and cashews but no fudge.

There were more than several deals there.

There were more than several deals there.

In the eye of the beholder, I'm sure. Nothing on my wish list.

 

[nipprdog]

traded an AR for a 92fs

Ouch!

IF you traded Agatha, you need to close your other thread.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Ouch!

From Three Kings, what determines action?

 

[Sullivan_pbr]

I'm heading over there first thing this morning. See if there's anything I can't live without. I'm taking a RTF2 17 and a G35 if anyone's in the market.

 

[gregkl]

Picked up a couple of boxes of .22 for my accuracy test, some kind of Delrin block thingee for my AR, and an extra mag for my MKII.

I saw lot's of pieces for my AR build basically at online prices, but I'm in no hurry so I didn't buy anything. I will wait for online sales and if none materialize I know I can hit the show to buy what I need.

I was also able to try out single stage and 2-stage triggers for my AR and decided that the RRA National Match 2-stage will be just fine for me!

Light traffic in the show this morning right at 9 and I was overall happy.

It still in interesting though how these sellers may be passionate about firearms, but don't have much business acumen concerning customer service and sales.

Went yesterday with a buddy and picked up some more Pmags and a sight tool for my AR. We got there a little after noon and there wasn't a whole lot of people there at that time. Finding a parking spot with the Bob Rohrman tent sale going on was a bit a joke. Unless I missed a parking section somewhere then there were not very many spots to even park for the Gun Show.

Yes Bob Rohrman had all the spots taken with his cars for sale.

I would like to meet you there, but this Monday-Tuesday I have a customer visiting me and I don't get out of work until 5 or so on Wednesday which means I couldn't make it there until 5:30 or however long it takes me to get there from C'Ville.
