Besides the suicide, any reports?

[brutal]

"Slow"

[Adice]

I went this morning because my turkey hunting fell thru and thought it was disappointing. I was looking for some decent optics and all I saw was a couple eotech sites and the rest was junk.
I did see some powder. I grabbed some TAC and I'm wondering if I should have picked up the 8lb keg but I didn't want to spend $180 right now.

Anyone else go and see any better optics?

Im planning on going. Nothing else to do and its across the street. I dont plan to find anything worth while but oh well

[streetglideok]

Besides TAC, any other powders like 4350, Retumbo, Re25, etc?

So I go to the show in Pueblo, the wife is practically begging me to leave the house!!!!!
I get there and it was about 60% gun show and 40% NOT or OTHER than guns!
Ok vendors, I understand you need to make a buck and the fools who are just now getting around to buy a gun but $100 for a box of .22LR?
The prices were sad, the same vendors where there with the same items from years gone by. I cant see how they can make money charging what they are.
I would pay, $7 or maaaaaybe $8 for a box of AK ammo or similar but I wont even stop when I see $10 or even $12 for the same thing I know you are getting at Walmart!!
If a vendor has P-Mags for $19(Ammo Kan) then what makes you think you can get $35 for yours...cough cough Airlift....cough!!!!!
I wont look through your used box of $35 GI issue AR mags and think "Gee, If I buy 3 I will get them for $100!"
I am tired of looking at $700 SKS's that look like Charlie himself used it in Nam! At least find a Bayonet for it!
Not interested in Jerky, Candles, Jewelry or having my back adjusted....Ok I could go for that. I dont need to think about how well made that OPTIC is that is made in China for Airsoft...come on, the boxes have fluffy clouds and a powder blue backdrop on them!
Can anyone teach them that they can use services like The CUBE or what ever to take debit/credit cards to take payment I will eat a modest fee. They seem to all be playing some type of game on the smart phones so make use of them. I don't want to withdraw a bunch of cash and walk out with all that cash after finding nothing remotely interesting. Hell, I tried to give the target guy an extra dollar for some targets because I thought they were a good deal....nope he would not charge me a dollar more!!! Good guy.
I think I have run my course with shows for a while. I will play the hunting game for ammo like everyone else who wont pay $1 for 1 round of .223!
I signed a few petitions and overheard alot of Tin Foil Talk but walked out with only some targets.
Come Jun 30th I wonder what the prices on mags will be when they wont be able to move them because they are still trying to get $25 for a TAPCO AK mag that I have order for $14!!!!
Im not ranting, just describing my trip.
Oh, then to top it off I got stuck in that damn dust storm......and I did get to see the Harley Building damage first hand!!!


Ya missed out on a good time Jordan!! HAHAHAHA

It's not likely I will ever go to a gunshow again- except maybe to see a few pals. Back in the 80's and early 90's they were a great place to go for bargains or to find that part you needed to complete a project. No more. 99% money-grubbing rip-off artists trying to sell you the junk they don't want or use anymore for 2 or 3 times what they paid for it. And of course the gougers. Only a very few interesting and cool vendors. Yes you can still find a good deal here and there, but who wants to fight the crowds? Not me.
