[Queen Bee]

I'll be headed there twice on saturday, once in the morning by myself , because im on the lookout for glock 17 mags, then with 2 friends later, so i can get them into guns and shooting

OK folks, I set up tonight at the Marlboro show and saw some GREAT deals. A Krag in 98% condition with a REAL bayo and sheath. 2 Eddystones, a Finn 91 with a beautiful tiger stripped stock dated 1944 at Petes guns for 275 but he will take 250. An all matching with a pristine bore 1903A3 for $550. AK 47 and 74's. Saigas in all calibers but 308. Again not all dealers were setting up so there could be some tomorrow.

The NY ammo guys were there and they jacked their prices up from Manchester.

A Star pistol in pristine condition , the model that shoots the 9mm largo. A bunch of High Standard 22 from early models to newer, meaning late 70 at some very good prices.

My point I have worked this show for years and saw rifles and hand guns of very good quality for very decent prices. But you better get there early or believe me they will be gone.

No I am not buying them, saving up for my new Barrett.

p.s. the promoter is charging $50 for the weekend to hook up to electricity so we can run our lap top and printer. 50 bucks. RIP OFF!!!!

Great report Fred! I'll probably see you tomorrow.

When do the doors open?

9:00, I'll be there around 11:00 tomorrow.

 

[drgrant]

When do the doors open?

Like Type0 says, I think it's 9 am. If you want to park within a mile of the place you better get there at 8:30, if not earlier. Line typically takes 10-20 minutes to wind down once it queues up.

We'll be there for our first show as a dealer! We'll have a swell metal laser-cut sign proudly adorning our booth, and some interesting goodies for sale. Best of all we'll have pre-ban mags that are.....actually pre-ban! Hope to see you all at the booth and best of luck at the show!

I'll be sure to stop by as well.

That's crap. We packed a 100 foot extension cord...we've also got a deep cycle battery and an inverter if we can't find power.

I'm still at work fighting an issue...so I'm pretty sure that I'm going to be BEAT tired tomorrow. So if you come by our table and I'm napping, just kick my feet and wake me up.

 

[Reptile]

I knew I should not have slept so late yesterday afternoon.

I went to sleep a 9pm tonight and can't sleep anymore.

Too excited for this show!

It's going to be a long day.

Let me sleep for 2 more hours and I'll ready.

I am going to get there early and may even provide intel via Tapatalk on who is selling Glock mags and if any are left.

In the future I hope to get an app that will detail who has what on my iPhone like they do at big trade shows.

 

[civik29]

Well this newb will be there. If I see anyone with some NES gear on I'll be sure to say hell. This will be my first time at a gun shop. Just got my license 2 days ago!

Congrats on your license! I'm going to take a cat nap and then get ready to go.

 

[Reptile]

Would it be legal to sell a few extra pre ban Glock mags that I have at the gun show?

I see people walking around with signs selling their guns.

So, could I do that with mags and sell to an individual?

It is a gun show after all, right?

Sound like a stupid question, but we are in Massachusetts.

 

[loki32687]

Happen to see a price on those 74's?

 

[50 BMG]

Hmm I needed a couple hundred rounds but if the ammo selection sucks then I'll get it somewhere else.

Call Sun Devil out of Arizona, one of the best builders according to Shooting times. I have two lowers made by them. The quality is far superior to anything I have seen produced locally.

 

[shadyduk1979]

Cooking up some breakfast and heading down. I should be there for 9

 

[ARV]

I'm still trying to decide if I want to show up this year. I haven't missed the January Marlboro show in like 9 years or something but this year is different. I have a project car to restore and I need to save every penny I can.

I'm probably going to go sunday. Nothing I want or really need, I just need to get out of the area and have a change of scenery. Come sunday, I'll buy you a box of Mak ammo John.

Checklist: Cigar to smoke while in line, backpack, flashlight, bore light, magnifying glass, copies of C&R and money.

Good list

Anyone have experience checking their CCW at the show? Positive, negative or otherwise?

There is no such thing as "checking" it at a gun show. If you declare it you will be asked to unload and your gun will get ziptied. Some of the shows they keep your ammo at the front, but I forget if Marlboro does this or not.

-Mike

Put it in a plastic bag with a card with you name on it. Get it back when you leave, and they ask you to load outside when they hand it to you.

 

[jraysig]

I'm heading there with half a dozen friends now! Hopefully I'll come home with a new 1911!

 

[drgrant]

Line is very long. Good thing im near the front!!!

-Mike

 

[shadyduk1979]

Got here at 12 past. Line is all the way around the building.

 

[Reptile]

Been in line for a half hour. Line is moving but very long.

 

[Fixxah]

The line is a mile long. Must be the lack of cold weather bringing out the crowd. Can't see waiting to just look around. Later Marlboro.

 

[hqp921]

Not getting there until a little later this morning... wonder how long the line will be...

[C-pher]

I'm inside right when you walk in the door.

They are highway robbers, Fred was right. Not only do they want 50 for electric, they want 50 for wireless.

Gotta hook it up with a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot!

I will be going . No more jerky for me after reading a NES post about overnight storage .

[s4mt3k]

Are there any NES gun gurus that will be set up in there? In case I decided to buy something on the spot might need some advice?

 

[drgrant]

Show is typical marlburrah. Some deals on guns. Forget about preban pistol mags- What few are there are overpriced. LOTS of people. I had to get out. The fartgas from some of the attendees was starting to get to me.

 

[TBalls]

Next year we should set up a booth for these:

Yes, that's underwear with a charcoal filter.

No surplus gas masks at the show?...

Yes, but AT&T charges extra for that on the iPhone, when i had the blackberry, it wouldn't matter.

 

[C-pher]

I just stopped by a knife guy that has ESEE knives. So it was good to hold a lot of different models from the buy.
