My dad and I went today and man was it packed in there. 2,000 tables and tons of over priced guns and ammo. Cheaper to go to Dicks or some high end gun shop. S&W AR 15's being hawked at 850 to 995. Found one for 650 OTD. A brick of 22lr thunderbolts for 90 dollars. Tons of stuff and no one buying except my dad. He bought a Ruger single six, with the extra cylinder for 22 mag. Gun was used, but looked unfired for 275 OTD. I saw one brick of 22 for 43 dollars and was some brand I never herad of. The guy selling them said they had an 85% fire rate. [xx(] Well thanks for letting us all know they were junk for 43 dollars. Sellers were gouging the holiday shoppers[;)] The same show three months ago, all the AR's were under 700 and bricks of 22LR were down to 35 dollars. One guy had a pink camo, S&W M&P 22 for 850 bucks. What an *. All you heard were dealers complaining that no one was buying and everyone was window shopping. Uh, No wonder. Hope they all had to eat their table fees and went home broke and unhappy, like the buyers. No more shows for a while for me.I did buy one little thing, a pair of lined deer skinned gloves for 15 dollars. Oakie

    It was really huge. 2000 tables and guns, ammo and parts. I didn't find what I was looking for in guns, but bought some unique powder, which every one had available, some 2400 powder, 243 reduced recoil ammo, 243, 80 grain ammo, a couple of t shirts and a magnifying glass with a light that I desperately needed[;)][;)][;)][:D] Peepers are not what they use to be and cannot see fine prints on guns or see small springs and such when working on guns. Still over priced 22 ammo which everyone was not selling, 75 dollars a brick. 100 packs of cci were 29 dollars. What a bunch of idiots. Guns were way over priced as well as everything else. I think I am done with gun shows for this year. I will just do my shopping on the internet and save money on gas, tolls and guns. Oakie.

    Gun show in Morgantown WV yesterday. CCI m/m 12.00/100. CCI st/v 50.00/500. He had a bunch. I didnt need any so i didnt buy any. Someone else was selling powder at a reasonable price too. Titegroup for 19.00. He had about 6 lbs too. He had most centerfire IMR powder at 23.00 to 34.00. Im starting to realize thar the best gun deals are the guys walking in carrying guns to sell, not the dealers already set up. It wasn't a very big show though. 7.00 to enter, free parking.
