shriner show report

[Jonnin]

chattanooga show, forgot there were 2 this weekend.

 

22 lr is going fast at $75 for 500.  (I lied, its mostly sitting on the tables at this price. )

 

The usual show, lotsa knives and gear.   I saw a number of ARs, at least 4 of which were "decently priced" in the 1100 1200ish range.  I saw a bunch of sks for fair prices too, $300 give or take.   Several AKs as well for too much (1k and up).   Plenty of older guns too, but I didnt see anything for myself, the one that I liked the look of someone had sanded and messed up the stock and it was too high for a worked on item.

 

I got 3k primers for $100, good enough for me right now, same price I have been paying for a while. 

 

A good amount of 223 ammo but it was high priced (I load mine so I am not sure what is fair, but 200 for a case of some sort?)  and a fair amount of AK ammo. 

 

You might find something you need there, but at best the price will be "tolerable".   Not everyone there is gouging for every cent they can get at least.

I saw the 525 bulk .22 ammo start at $75, then $70, then $65, and it was priced at $60 when I left. Ruger BX-25 Mags at $75 and some Glock mags at $45-50 and off brand 33 rounders at $90. The overpriced stuff wasn't moving.

Saw some PMags 2 for $30 so there were good buys if you looked. Most handguns were overpriced in my opinion. Also didn't see any small or large pistol primers other then magnums.

It was better than their last show.

I mostly ignore the difference in primers so I got ... small pistol mag, large pistol mag, and small rifle (not sure), one of each.  He said it was his last small rifle though.
