GUN SHOW AND KNIFE SHOW- WILMINGTON, MASS.- March 3rd and 4th 2012
- Thread starter expedition03

It's not bad, internet price for XM193 Fed is like $290 + shipping. If that's really PMC .223 for $285/1000, that's actually a good deal.
Course there is the friggan tax, too. For reference, last Manchester show had Privi M193 (which I think is equal to fed, if not better) for like $300 a case and no tax.

I just got home. It wasnt too bad of a show. I got to see Ray and talked a bit. I do have to say that I have never seen that many K98K's and G43's at one show. Someone must have sold off their collection. I did buy 30 boxes of 1940 8MM Fur MG. I got the lot for $150. I went in with no expectations and walked out with some original German ammo. All in all it was a good day.
Oh no I didn't buy any, I was just looking. I was just with my dad.
Not necessarily.
I find that good deals can be had late on Sunday right before closing time, especially if it's a large or heavy item that the dealer doesn't really want to pack up and schlep back home.
Great meeting you as well as the others that spotted me

Got to meet C-pher and buy a sticker. All and all a good show. Had to leave by about 10:30, when it started to smell like burpdogs and fartgas. It was nice to get in early and get out early.
Yes I was. Nice meeting you
Yup, met C-Pher, grabbed some NES stickers too.
Here's my booty haul: Spam can of 7.62x54r for $95, GS .45 was $15, forget what the 9mm went for. Prices were about generally 25-30% off local dealers paying cash, tax included.

Not a problem!
If anyone wants one, I'm leaving at 3 as I have a Father/Daughter dance tonight
I'll be here all day tomorrow.
This show never disappoints when it comes to ammo. The guy and his wife from 308ammo always beat the NY dealers and have a huge assortment of stuff even for folks on a budget. I picked up a 500rd case of Wolf 223 to plink with in my Mini14 and split a brick of Wolf .22lr with aguy who was on the fence about buying some.
The tables of what looked like someone's German rifle collection with a dozen or so K98s was pretty impressive. All pretty much were prices at $550 and they had slings/bayonets to boot.

Saw a couple nice SKS's today Ray and told my dad about how much of a fan of them you are haha.
Walked away with a weaver k4 scope, 150 round of privi 8mm ammo, and can of 175 rounds of federal buckshot, for 200 out door
Doh! I forgot to pick up a sticker. If you'll be at Marlboro I'll get one then. Good to see your again.
My daughter said she enjoyed the show, but was asking "how long till we leave" after going seeing about 3/4 of the tables.

I agree. I actually picked up 1000 rounds of what I thought was the Wolf .223 ammo for $199, but it actually turned out to be Tula. I figure it's still a pretty good deal, but do I need to be concerned at all about the fact its Tula? I've never shot it before.
