[SKS Ray]

Always a good show. Nice to see it back at the club.

 

[Len-2A Training]

I'm going to try to make it, but likely not until afternoon as I have range duty that day at BR&P.

Always an interesting show.

Disappointing show this time around. Fewer dealers, more non firearms (or related) vendors, prices on handguns were very high, even for used guns. Nice people running the show, as always, but I was expecting more for the price of admission.

Very expensive and very low inventory. Gun shows around here suck.

The previous times I went, it was very enjoyable. This time just seemed to be lackluster.

Mixed thoughts. I saw new M1As for $14xx at two dealers, that's a very decent price. K-31 for $350 with muzzle cap.

Ammo was laughable at some tables: Aquila .22 HV (good stuff) at $62/brick, Thunderbolt .22 HV (absolute garbage) at $17.95/100 (I had trouble a few years ago getting rid of this junk at $1.50/50), 100rds of .45 WWB for $67.50, 100 rds of 9mm WWB for $62.50, etc.

For me it was well worth it, to chat with FRB on some legal issues.

Saw Fred (50BMG), Greg (Precision Armament) both dealers at the show, icyclefar, the MF&G Purser, etc.

All that said, all I spent was the admission price.

That about sums it up. The guy I went with bought some ammo. Nothing tickled my fancy so I went home empty-handed.

Any kegs of shotgun powders available red or green dot etc?

Not a great deal of powder - One table had some antique tins: 2400 and AL-5 / AL-8. Another table Trailboss in 1lb and 8lb containers, and some IMR. The latter had primers.
No presses, dies, or other reloading gear that I could see.

The club members were very friendly. Very welcoming to prospective new members.
Probably going to apply for membership at their next meeting.

Thanks for the reply I was going to stop in, but I'm only looking for powder.
You saved me a trip and 10 bucks

Was Terry from Collector's in Pelham there?

Yup, I spoke with Terry. He is one of the dealers who had the new M1A1 for $14xx on the table.

I always like digging through the random stuff he brings and his prices are usually fair or better than average.

Yup, Terry is one of 3 dealers from whom I've purchased guns at gun shows over >35 years. He had a semi beat-up Colt 1911 Series 70 that I got a helluva deal on about 5 years ago.

I thought the show was ok. Seemed to be the usual amount of dealers for this show but I miss the ammo dealer that used to set up in the back room near the wood stove. The only thing I bought was some BBQ sauces from the hot sauce vendor.
AFAIK aside from 2 shows in the west end of the state, this is the last Mass show until Marlboro next January.

 

[Garys]

I overheard a couple of guys, maybe members, talking about the ammo dealer. They were saying that he was supposed to be there, but didn't show up. I didn't hear a reason.

Beef Jerky for the boy, hot sauce for me, a shield mag and Uzi mag from PAW (nice guys) and a little over priced rail mount light for the old JBunting. Icyclefar said I had to buy something from every vendor, but the ammo and pistols prices were nuts. Still, enjoyed my first gun show.

Just couldn't find the loop holes...
