Gunshow 28th/29th?

[mx'r]

I saw a sign in Denver for a show on the 28th/29th? anyone know where? I couldnt catch the address, was moving to fast.

[StagLefty]

Not Tanner until Sept.

[SideShow Bob]

It will be at I-70 & Chambers, don't know who the promoter is.
It will be in one of the Big hotels, Crown Plaza I think. I could be wrong, just look for the crowded parking lots.

[BPTactical]

It is at the Holiday Inn on the NE quadrant of I 70 and Chambers. It used to be known as "Crossroads of the West". Not sure what they call it now....

[mx'r]

10-4... thanks. I liked the crossroads show. wonder why it's not around anymore.

[Ridge]

R&K Gun Shows runs them now, I believe...

[Ridge]

Show was meh...nothing really stood out for me, except for the "ultra rare" flattop AR upper with carbine-length A1 handguards, 10.5" barrel and ugly xm177 flash hider for $679

Oh, but it also came with a CAR stock, a2 grip and 3 20rd pmags :P

[mx'r]

I'll be heading that way tomorrow maybe. Always need some ammo, and still looking for that smoking deal on an M9 bayo.

I was disappointed in it. It appears all the vendors from the Springs show last week hauled all their stuff up to this one. Lot less vendors than the Crossroads show used to have.

Nothing spectacular. Heard a lot of lies from people trying to sell their stuff, how rare, who has current government contract, etc.

Went to Gander Mountain afterwards and bought ammo cheaper than what was available at the show.

[Troublco]

Ammo at Gander cheaper than at the show? Wow. Gander's pretty high on a lot of their ammo.

[Ridge]

I saw 20rd boxes of .223 going for $14.99 today..

[OneGuy67]

Ammo at Gander cheaper than at the show? Wow. Gander's pretty high on a lot of their ammo.


Bought .223 FMJBT Golden Tiger 56 grain 20 rounds/$5.99; Wolf 7.62x39 122 grain 20 rounds/$5.99; Brown Bear 7.62x54R 174 grain 20 rounds/$12.99. All non-corrosive.

[Byte Stryke]

Gander usually has 20rnd boxes of federal for ~$9.99

[sic_semper_tyrannis]

Pretty lame show from what I saw. I stopped going to shows two years ago after pledging to never again waste the time/money. I figured i'd try it again just to see if anything changed...

Pluses: I didn't see any Nazi crap this time (not to say that I may have just missed it). Also, surprisingly, it was not packed at all. Plenty of open parking spots up front, and plenty of room to move around inside. Unlike previous shows, I was able to maneuver the aisles without being molested by camo-clad 350lb shower-allergic bumpkins.

Minuses: As expected, I couldn't find a single good deal. The vast majority of tables were stocked full of heavily used & abused crap that was priced above new retail prices. Found some okay ammo deals, but nothing that actually was worth buying. One guy actually had old beat-up boxes of 9mm American Eagle and wanted $25/box for it (this was the extreme high-end of the price spectrum). Saw a heavily abused first-gen S&W Sigma with a price in the HIGH $400 range! What a deal! Way too many knives and non-firearm stuff, but I can't complain because it was advertised as a gun & KNIFE show.

[USCED]

I didn't get up to the show, but since people are talking ammo prices...I just picked up 1000 rnds of Federal American Eagle .223 55gr FMJ at link below for $311.90 shipped. It's 29.99 per 100 rnd boxes plus shipping. Only $12 to ship a case

I havent been to the Aurora show in 3 years. From the looks of it in 3 years it wont exist.
One of the worst I have ever been to.
$1599.00 for a NIB Colt 6920[ROFL1]
Black Rain builds (I think) for $2000+
One dealer actually had a PSL54-C with a tag on it for $1195.00. I asked him why so much and he told me that was the best price I would ever find on a Dragunov.......[ROFL3]

A used 10/22 for $275.00.........

Good Grief!

[MOUNT-N-SLOT]

IWC didn't attend this show either.

Thanks I needed a good laugh!
Ill agree with you, Ill bet the only show left is Tanner in 2 years, and even that one will likely die out soon after. I cant image people are dumb enough to buy some of this stuff at inflated prices. I hi a couple shows this year, and saw one guy, with 91/30 mosins. No bayo, non-matching, all counterbored, for 125-150.
