Tanner today

[StagLefty]

I hope all my fellow gun enthusiasts are doing homework on prices before going to a gun show !!! I saw regular Pmags being sold for about $22 and window ones for $25.That's about 7-8 dollars above most dealer pricing !!! Ammo was ridiculous as we know. That being said I found a guy with a NIB Eotech 512 that the buttons hung up a little bit for shutting it off. He sold it to me for $309 cash out the door with the box and all the paperwork including warranty. So there are still some good deals if you know what a fair price is !! Guys do some homework if your looking for a particular piece of equipment and make sure your not being robbed. Good Luck !!!

Yeah... I saw those $25 windowed Pmags too!

[Aardvark]

What a ripoff! $25 for Pmags...granted, they are the best thing going for AR15 mags, but those (st)dealers need to extract cranium from rectum. Were there many worthwhile AR parts dealers there? I need to finish up a few builds...

[StagLefty]

There probably were some bargains for builders like yourself but I felt that if you weren't informed on pricing you could be spending a lot more than needed. That's why I say study up on pricing before buying at a gun show.I don't know what you need but look on ARFCOM EE if that's any help bro.

the problem is Finding the parts, at the last one, I got three Delta Ring groups for the same price as I could get them from Bushmaster, takeing into consideration admission/S&H. That's all I could find though. Heck Even 5280, the trailer that they have, that most of the time had parts, didn't.

Alan has stag arms striped lowers for $115.00 out the door tax included. He also has cav arms lowers un-finished for $80 plus tax.

If any of you come to the show tomarrow stop by and say hi.

I'm pretty happy with my snag today.. PT1911 w/ rail for less than it would have cost from Buds Gunshop ($530 shipped btw) + transfer fee. A bit disappointed in a few dealers that have previously been the best on the floor.

For the most part I was tempted to go get my admission fee back, I paid to go to a gun show, not a fraken flee market! I actually made fun of several "dealers" to their face, asking where they got off pricing above MSRP on so many things... giggled at listed prices more times than I recall. All in all, got exactly what I was going after about $10 more than I'd hoped to pay.. not a bad day.

Not that I saw.....everything seemed to be overpriced. I was hoping to score some .223 for an honest price. I was thinking that I'd pay as high as $220 per 1000. I didn't see anything under $250, and I'm not shooting a stranger's reloads. I'll just order some. I figured that I'd pick up a couple of mags, too. Wrong. Most of them were overprice as well. My daughter and I had a nice walk around the place, so I'd say that the $6 was worth it. I got to look at a lot of guns, and she is being raised right.[Beer]

Send me a PM with the stuff you need and i will check out what I got. I know I have a few "extra" parts around here. And if I remember right I owe you a part still [Wink]

Last time I went I saw a guy selling NIW m14 mags for $100!!!! I can find those for around $50. Most the stuff there is overpriced and you have to work them down. Thats the beauty of the shows. You don't have to pay sticker price.

[StagLefty]

I guess my concern is the new guys to the AR platform(including me) who don't do any homework on prices before going to a gun show.I saw way too many people buying those $25 Pmags. Hopefully posting here will get some attention to this gouging.

Dropped $450 for a new complete A3 upper with flip up BUIS today at Canyon Country Tactical :D Will have pics tomorrow

[shrapmetal]

i can say i have only been to 1 gun show in the last few years because of the prices. it just seems silly to pay to look at over priced items.

[kidicarus13]

I've been to a few Tanner shows and have also been disappointed in the marked-up pricing.
