Anyone seen any ammunition links for 5.56 at the gun show or maybe know of a dealer that has them there. The only reason I would go.

We are set up on our usual spot with 5 tables.
If anyone missed us at the last TANNER show we were out of state at the Knob Creek show & shoot in Kentucky.
I have 75 round Romanian military issue drums and a couple of the Polish flare pistols on the table, plus all of the usual goods that Gloria & I bring.
See you at the show..

I25 & 58th east side of road denver merchandise Mart. GFL finding parking let alone no line to get in , IF this show is like any other show once an AWB is mentioned. Let alone guaranteed, if O gets re-elected!
I will there in my hat and a RMGO hoodie
May go tomorrow, finding a place to park is the most aggravating part for me. Have to try to get there early.

Now I don't feel bad for missing it...[Coffee]
I'll just go to jims shop of treasures instead-better than any gun show-even if nothing is for sale ;)
I went this morning. I usually get there about 20 minutes before they open and just hang out in the truck until the doors open. I usually get a great parking spot. Not today. Fifteen minutes before they opened the parking lot was getting very full. Also, the line to get in that goes down the middle for those with exact change went almost to the freeway when I got in it.
The funny thing was it didn't really seem any more crowded on the inside than it usually is.
If you're reading this, Alex, don't forget to look for that special 870 for me. [Beer]

Will work for food-er guns that is :D
I'll try and come up that weekend even if its just to hang out.[Coffee]
was hell crazy there! walk away with only a new pair of fitted ear plugs. my wife called frantic that the smoke alarm was going off. Saw a nice complete spikes lower for $265 (was so tempted to pick that up) that was prob the best deal IMO
Saw something I wanted, but my bank has a limit on ATM withdrawals, and it's a lot less than my prize. I wanted to give the guy my number to meet him this week, but he refused. I'll just have to hope it's there in December...

I didn't think it was that bad at all, only by the ammo was it jammed up.
I am interested in going tomorrow. Was the parking lot and traffic really that bad?
I appreciate your replys.
Parking is shit. With the colorado country christmas out front, I've never seen 58th so busy as it was today. I had to park a couple blocks away and hoof it over to the show.

I managed to muscle 3k rounds out of there. I was parked way the hell back there, thankfully there was a shuttle service. :)

I thought it was "average busy" in the morning, but "crazy busy" in the afternoon.
Best deal (an INCREDIBLY screaming deal BTW) was 1K rounds of Speer Gold Dot 9mm 124g +P for $341 - at least $100 less than best online price. Would have picked this up if I hadn't bought 1K rounds of Federal P9HST2 147g HST 9mm 2 weeks ago. Worst deal was a Kel-Tec KSG Shotgun (List price $880) being sold for $1800+. Talk about gouging...

Anyone see full crates of Yugo m67 7.62x39? I know Denver Bullets had some over $400, but nobody online has them, and I'm trolling for some locally that aren't advertised...
I'm almost tempted to go to the Sertoma show end of this month in the Springs, it will either be nuts or empty I figure...

Kinda disappointed, only good deal I saw was 880 rds of 7.62x54r for $160 and a sendero 300 win mag for $800.

Can't believe you guys bitchin' about parking... I rolled up and got a space in the front row at 9:05 this morning.... No crowds, no lines... nothing....
Of course I had no idea I was supposed to set any of my clocks back last night before bed.... DOH!!! The boy and I went out for our second breakfast... then waited for 10 minutes before the doors opened... lol.

Was busy when I was there. I scored a replacement front sight for my 1911 GI slide, a set of Lee .223 dies for $15, and a pic rail mountable bipod, but honestly once again the prices were all over the place. Some stuff was ok priced, but a lot of it was off the chain, like a Lee Challenger press for $125 bucks?!?!? Seriously almost 75% markup there.

I thought I'd be smart, drove around to washington and was going to park on the east side. I always end up there anyway. All the gates were shut and caution tape over the entrances.
Drove back around to the front as normal, and went down the main isle towards the back, some lady with a sign and blocking traffic. Turn around and park on the next isle over - about midway to washington.
Then I saw many tow trucks showing up and buzzing around the lot like bees. Getting nervous about where I parked and what was going on.
Talked to the security guy at the door, he said if you parked illegally, you'll be towed.
Was nervous the whole time wondering if I parked in the wrong spot or anything like that. All was fine. But still...
Show was busy by the time I left. 11am. Seems like you can't buy anything unless you have a $100 bill. Bought some powder/mag loader/brass and headed home a little depressed.
My wife actually came with me for the first time... she enjoyed it and was intrigued by a lot of what was there. We snagged a couple deals and bought some silver bullion from "the silver guy", but mostly just went because I was looking for ammo and she thinks there's a chance it could be the last one. We got there around 8:30 on Saturday and were about 30 feet from the door in line... Parking is not too bad if you get there a little early.
