Generally speaking anything more than $30 and you're probably getting taken for a ride. (Or at least that's my limit).

And for sub-compacts (G26/27/30...) I could make it $35, for an upper limit, though I'm looking for $30 as well.

Well, I had a successful day! Got a new AR lower + LPK, couple of G17 mags, got rid of some G22 mags and a stripped upper.
Plus I bought a saturday night special from some dude in the parking lot![]()
check in at the door, no loaded guns.
P.D were checking random people at the door.
Got through no problem, don't get why they would suspect people of carrying at the show.P.D were checking random people at the door.
I'll be heading over there tomorrow. Don't plan on picking up much more than a couple mags, but who knows...
If you are looking for AR or AK mags, and maybe for other rifles... there are boatloads of prebans at not too bad prices, but everything else is pretty much off the wall, although I scored some preban Glock mags, but I'd bet nearly anything that vendor is cleared out at this point... at noontime he only had a few left.
I didn't see much of anything else... lots of people with overpriced pistol mags otherwise. I also saw some jerkwad trying to sell a preban Mini-14 mag for like $120.![]()
The show sucks for ammo, so if you're looking for a deal on ammo, save the $9 and don't go. Then again the previous Marlboro shows had poor ammo prices too... basically one vendor, no competition. (As a metric, in Concord NH Privi SS109 battlepacks were like $76. The one vendor selling lots of ammo at this show at that same product for $90!)
The chinese flashlight report was promising... seemed like there were down at least 1 or 2 junk flashlight vendors from last time.

Any one see any Mosin-Nagants? Got a nephew hankering for one...

- First time I saw the vendor with the huge assortment of body armor, and warning signs that you "should get them now before they're banned."

I saw an M44 for around $225
I was looking at 380 bodyguards they are cheaper at FS
Ended up with a yellow Gadsden coffee mug , some bumperstickers and beef jerky .

did you see the BG's? Was picking through all the mag tables looking for BG .380 mags, no luck.
All in all I walked out with a nice gadsen tshirt, some jerky and ammo, only spent about 40$ so I see that as a personal best![]()
Any 5.56 or .40 cheap? Interested in stuff you don't see everyday at the local places.
Good show with some incredible deals to be had for those who know what they're looking for.
Some other good deals I spotted were a Ljungman for $600 and change and a mint MAS 49/56 sniper with all the goods for a very fair price. I also spotted a few oddball Mosins and Mauser types for good deals as well. Too many to remember but like I said... if you know what you're looking for you could have scored today.
Ammo prices were fair/good as well with some decent deals on .308 and .223 but you have to check every table and ask if they have cases.
All in all probably one of the better Marlboro shows I've been to.
