Hunting bud n myself are going to a show in Col Springs this morning. Don't really expect to buy anything! Probably going to be a short trip. Will advise later.
Sorry to hear that you are still having problems.
Dan

Up date, decent show, A lot of AR's, ammo was fair supply and pricey. 8lb keg of 4350 $212, actually had one guy trying to sell CCI LR primers for $68 a 1k.....looked a lot and left with nothing!
Dan

Oh yeah, 1911 GI MAGS $50......EACH

GI Mags??

50 bucks for GI mags?? That means I am rich..well a little. I must have more than 80. Every time I buy a 45 it seems I get one or two. and they almost always seem to work. lol. I have an old WWI 2 tone mag with lanyard loop that is beat up ugly and works great in every gun I put it in. it is truly an early mag. Got it with a 1914 made Colt.

Dan there were a bunch of ARs at the show I was at..and a lot of interest at their tables. Think the pols are starting to talk restrictions again..An awful lot of interest in what they call tactical stuff. Guy tried to sell me a 'tactical" shotgun. I told him..nah..I got 'nuff shotguns. He said you don't a tactical shotgun. I then told him I considered ANY shotgun a tactical shotgun. Let somebody rack the slide on a Rem 870 or Mossy 500 at night. Give ya a little pucker for certain

You are right about the pucker factor there on the pump shotguns buddy. Glad you got to look a bit, hope everything is going better for you and you get over your hospital stay.

Do me a favor at the next show, if you see Christy or her bunch from Going Ballistic ask them when their durned website is going to be back up. I have been twiddlin my thumbs waiting to get a price on some cast. I sent her an email, but haven't see a response yet.

Good luck at the show. Hope you sell so much you have to shut down your booth, and hope you buy so much you bog down the truck.

LOL, I assure you the guy still has his $50 mags! The primers were an eye opener too. Did see a LOT of very rough jap rifles. really didn't go down there to buy, just wanted to get out of house. That 4350 price really gave sticker shpck!

Stuff

That price on an 8 lb is about the going price at most of the shows here. 200 for certain anyway. I got a keg of 4350 and another of 7828 SSC at the last show in Billings for a little under wholesale. 135 each. But the guy was afraid he was going to go home with 'em I guess. That price on CCI primers was ridiculous. Heck the stores here have 'em for 40 or so.

I saw the Going Ballistic guys at the show Saturday. They have their shop surrounded by sandbags from all the flooding. Might let up in about a week or two. We have a lot of flooding from ice dams on the cricks(they call 'em rivers here??) The Yellowstone river had more'n 4 ft of ice on it. Not now. dammed up under all the bridges
