Goodman's Gun Show - Nashville - 1/12-1/13

[TripleDigitRide]

Anyone going?

 

I probably wouldn't, but I'm going to try my luck at finding a couple M&P 40 magazines and a buffer kit for this AR build.

If I go, it will be just to sell some stuff.

[gregintenn]

Lord no! I'm not fond of crowds, and that's exactly what I expect. These aren't the same folks I'm accustomed to at a show.

[Guest halutz]

that sucks, i just spend my last gun budget on a 1911-R1. i have to wait till next funding.

[Fourtyfive]

On the fence , will decide tomorrow.

Been to last two Knoxville shows. Going to Nashville to see the mess, too.

Holler at me. I'll probably hit it too

[viscero]

nah, after what the last couple of shows have been I really don't want another repeat AND have to pay for parking.

[TripleDigitRide]

I'm headed that way. Hopefully I won't have wait in the rain too long.

The line is already retarded. Almost all the way to the booth to pay for parking.

[lshel]

Not me. I don't believe I can take many more crowds. I want to see what's on the tables and what people are carrying around, and when crowded, its impossible.

Ya have fun and stay dry who are there!!!!!!!

Thanks for the heads up! You just saved 6.8 AR and me some grief. We were headed that way, but have aborted the mission :)

[bholman]

Good luck with all the craziness!

Good call. As to be expected, it was crowded and the prices were amazingly stupid. I saw $50 550 round boxes of .22 and $2800 for basic ARs. Those are pre-tax prices. I was able to find a slightly over-priced buffer kit, but none of the M&P magazines. When I left, the line was so long that they had to create a snake-like line through another parking lot.

Oh, how'd I forget the dealers with plenty of $60+ PMAGs.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

Man, I drove right on past that line of cars and laughed. I'm beginning to think it is worth the drive to go back to Knoxville,

next time, eh Mike? :D

[broox]

If they had any 223 ammo, how much was it?

[TSprint1]

I went by the boat show first then drove by the fairgrounds around 12:00.  Vehicles, waiting to get in, were stretched from the parking booth down the hill and

down Wedgewood Ave for at least 1/8th mile.  The line, waiting to pay to get in the building, was stretched down the hill and then east along most of the Creative

Arts building. I may try again tomorrow am but if it is like today I seriously doubt if either me or my AR will get out of the truck.  If that crowd had been at the boat

show they probably would have closed the convention center down.  Drove by the Reloaders  Bench on the way home....he needs a larger parking lot.  What's going

on right now is amazing.

[Grunt67]

I had considered going, just out of curiosity. Felt like crap today, rain, crowds, etc. Not going. Another show

scheduled for Hendersonville next weekend. I'll wait 'til then.....

[Guest Fruit jar]

I just left the MS board, since David is working the Jackson gun show this weekend. He has bullets, not what he told my buyer last night.

525 ct. 22lr $65., 223 steel case $1 each. I went to the Memphis show. I posted my findings on the Southaven show thread.

[piercedan]

I refuse to go to a gun show right now.  $10 at the door just to get gouged?  No thank you.  The only way I would go is if I was selling something, but I'm not.  Got what I need, everything else can wait until this mess dies down.

Actually, it was $5 for parking + $8 for admission.
I didn't want to go, but I am one of the fools who waited too long to get an AR, and I needed some parts. I found what I needed for the lower half, but I may be SOL where the upper half is concerned. I'd like to get in before the possible ban, but I'm not giving in to these ridiculous prices.
