Please report how it is. I was planning on going tomorrow to try and find a BCG.

I'm hearing lines wrapped around the building to get in.

My dad is there and said he's leaving because of the amount of people, he said you could hardly walk through aisles.

You couldn't pay me to go, I bet it is bedlam down there.

Fuck a bunch of that. Half the people in there probably have the flu...and prices are most likely rediculous beyond belief.

Wasn't too bad from 9 to 10. The crowd starts to fill the building after that.

Bunch of people trying to cash in with Bushmaster/DPMS ARs that they bought from Cabela's. NIB Bushy/DPMS etc. are asking $1800 private party sales. Not a lot of ARs on dealer's tables and they are definitely still available for sale.

Magpul mags are between $45 and $60. Troy mags are $25.

A HUGE line for Model 1 and it looks like everyone is buying multiple barrel/upper assembly.

It was busy. Impossible to get to the tables with handguns...

Lots of "private sale no paper" signs which IMO is why people freak out about gun shows....

Do you recall what upper assemblies were going for?

There was a gun show here last weekend and it was utter chaos. I decided to not even try to get into the building. There were lines on each side of the building that were more than 1/8mi long if not longer. The parking lot was completely full with cars in every lane waiting for spaces. Traffic on the roads was bumper/bumper as if there was a concert. Person I knew who got in said it was shoulder to shoulder. All I was looking for was some 9mm and .45 in bulk. Nothing doing...
Here's the map of the civic center and parking lot...

Civic center is the building on the right. There were people from the start of the civic center, wrapped around that appendage and down the street to the intersection where it says "systems furniture gallery." On the other side of the building it was around the building and as far as the eye could see basically. All parking spaces seen in that picture were taken.

Pretty much what they are listing them online for. http://www.model1sales.com

I hate to drive all the way down there, and fight the crowds for a chance a just a BCG. But fuck you can't find them anywhere unless you wanna pay $300!

NRA thinks Feinstein is introducing her bill on or near the 22nd. I wonder if things are really goin to explode then or if production of lowers and mags will be caught up by some miracle

Yeah... that ain't happening.

got there at 7:30am and waited. The line wrapped all the way around to the parking garage. AR's as usuall, same crazy prices. Ammo, .75-$1.00 a round, brass $50 for 500 Grade3.

Didnt bother looking at mags and no BCG's anywhere. Model 1 did have 13-20 bcg's in their case but when I asked how much, the said "not for sale, only if you buy an upper". I walked around, looked at a bunch of uppers while I waited in line and finally "$549" ....starting out, for an upper, no bcg...lol

Anyways, got me some primers, powder and projectiles. Took my stepdad with me as he hasnt been in 20 years. Great time and I am going to give him one of my lowers to start a build. If you shop, there are still parts to be had at decent to good pricing; but not at the gun show lol.

Edit: this is going to sound crazy but, there was a old gentleman in the smaller side who had an AR10 with a NightForce of some kind (I dont know optics) selling for...$2850

didnt seem too bad

[01yz2nv]

Well fuck
