Stopped going here years ago decided to give it another shot (no pun intended) Not really worth it and I get free parking due to being a town resident. Too Crowded to be able to look things over good. With all the empty space towards the back of the building I think they should of spread it out more. Not like it's more to heat since it's all open space. Give people room to look at stuff and walk around. Several items I was interested in but just left. Not going to be jarred around by people when I'm trying to look or keep asking people if I could get in to see something while they just stand in front of items having a jolly ole conversation. Ammo, bullet, powder prices weren't anything spectacular. I'd just as soon pay a little more to give the local gun dealers the sales. Tis a shame. Use to spend better part of a day there.
From my post on the Wimington Show:
50 BMG
Worked the show this weekend. It was very busy. Saw SKS Ray and Zappa and some other fellow NES folks.
Same idiots who go to the other shows and complain about anything and everything were there as well. You know who you are.
Its a ma. gun show and the promoter only allows dealers who she has past experience with. She runs Marlboro, Springfield, and Wilmington. So if you are going to bitch that its the same stuff well DUH. Its the same vendors.
If you want to see new shining stuff at Bass pro, Dicks etc. then go there. Half the fun of going to these shows is finding the one item you want. Not trying to find as many things to find fault with.
I got the usual, I had one of those 12 gauge Saiga's and only paid half what they are selling for now ....well stupid you should not have sold it. (No I didn't have any for sale). The prices are just to high from the distributors).
All in all saw my usual buddies, gave them some deals, (or free,) and if they were looking for something and I knew another dealer who had it I would go over and try and get them a deal. But the constant complaining after each and every show by the same folks here gets really old. IMO
seadog, try going Sunday. less people.
