Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
If you're looking for mags at a decent price, I would definitely show up early Saturday & have CASH. If there are any at a good price, you can bet they won't be there in the afternoon or on Sunday. Last show anything at a reasonable price was gone by 11:00 Saturday from what I saw.
Has anyone really ever gotten a good deal at the gun show? I've been many many times and quit going a couple years ago as I never came across any deals and generally found the prices high.
Found a few ok deals over the last few years at TGS and the other ones in the area, but not like some I remember seeing at gun shows 10 years ago.Originally Posted by Jmetz
Yes, tons. But almost exclusively on ammo and parts. I've never found a "good deal" on a gun, magazines, or optics at any of the shows in the past 5-6 years. Fair prices, sure, but no really good deals. When I go, it's usually to avoid paying shipping on bulk ammo, parts, silver, and an occasional odd item that catches my eye... but don't expect to see better prices than you do on certain websites or private party deals.
Please leave any relevant feedback here:

Well, looks like I might need to go early Saturday as much as I don't want to deal with the cold, the crowds, and the gouging. I'm looking for surplus AK mags, or high quality metal ones. No place has them in stock, so I imagine I'll be paying 50-75 each, if they have them. PMags are another story, but those are actually trickling in to online retailers right now. I'd love a nice ar10, and some other plinking rifles.... but I might just have to hold off and hope nothing drastic happens over the next few months.
So I might see you guys there.
ill be set up in the usual stinky spot , as always feel free to say hello
A buddy and I are planning to go. We are trying to sell some rifles. What is the procedure for getting in. I know security will check and zip tie but can we stand in line with scary black guns slung over our shoulders outside in Denver?
yes keep the mags out and the show is technically not in denver city
You may not even need to get inside to get it sold, you are going to get offers standing in line.
Just remember, any part of a firearms deal made at a gun show or on it's property must have a BG check done.
There are a couple gun shops in close proximity to the show that can do this for you.
If someone had a butt load of magazines, they could get there extra early, park near the door and put up a sign asking almost any crazy price. They would sell out within 30 minutes and never have to get out of their vehicle and be gone well before the doors opened.
