Gun Shows in Lafayette,.... worth goin?

[Southland Fi]

I will do that for BS members. Just tell me when you get to my table.

I actually liked the last show I went to over on Johnston Street. It seemed like a smaller venue with less of the crafts/cheap jewelry/ Chinese crap for sale.

I like going. Sometimes you come across a good deal. Often you'll get to see a gun you haven't run across yet. I don't go in expecting any great deals though.

Last show I went to at the "lafayette event center" or whatever its called, so hot, packed, and stinky. However, I did leave with Supermatch M1A in an original E2 stock, so... I left happy.

Dunno if things are different there, but for the last 5 years I have seen absolutely NOTHING at a gun-show that I wanted aside from a few nick-nacks. Usually anything worth buying is very overpriced.

However, like a pawn-shop, sometimes you just luck into a real steal.

The real reason I still like them is it is a great way to spend time with my Dad. That makes the bum products and sky-high prices a moot point for me.

Last gun show I went to I was looking for a S&W 3913. Found a 908 in great shape for $350. I was satisfied, and this was at the end of the Obama bubble.

 

[Gator 45/70]

[ragincajun1919]

I'm hoping to find a decent deal on a 6920, or if I'm the luckiest guy ever, a sabre defence carbine or stripped lower

 

[Southland Fi]

I will be at the gunshow this weekend. Any BS member that buys and/or places an order to buy a firearm from me at the show I will reimburse you the $8 admission fee.

 

[Gator 45/70]

I believe that i'll swing by and visit with you for a few minutes'...

 

[Barney88PDC]

If someone goes can you let me know if anyone has H4350 powder thanks.

I went today about 9:30 to avoid the early morning rush. BOY was I wrong! The parking lot was packed! There were the regular dealers in the same places but there were quite a few new tables. I have NEVER bought a gun at a gun show, mainly because the prices are basically retail. I bought 2 today. One was a Ruger single six in stainless NIB for $450 and the other was a NAA 22 mag/lr folding pocket pistol also NIB for $225. Both of these guns were at small tables and I bought them on my first pass, early. I saw both of these guns at other tables for up to and over $100 more. I also bought a Viridian C5 tactical handgun light/laser. It is said to be the "worlds smallest" combo light with 6 feature settings. It is an AWESOME light. I am gonna start a thread about it and find out if they hold up.

Sorry Barney, I saw your request after I returned from the show. Lots of guns, lots of people and no parking. Worth the $7.00 entry fee.

 

[Gator 45/70]

Went this evening..Crowded and hot...The way i like it...
Traded a mauser for a Remington 870 Super Magnum S.P. Turkey shotgun...
Ran into Flemgunner from R.J...Cool dude ..B.S with him for a few...
Reloading stuff was really not there..A little bit here and there...i enjoyed it...
Would post a few picture's..But mine does not work....

 

[Barney88PDC]

If someone goes tomorrow and can post if they see any H4350 powder I would appreciate it. Looking for an 8# jug but would buy some 1#. I just do not want to drive to Lafayette and pay to get in on a maybe. Thanks.

 

[Southland Fi]

You are right it was crowded. I had a few BS members stop by to say hello but I didn't catch there names. Remember any BS member that buys and/or places an order for a firearm I will reimburse you your entrance fee. But you need to tell me when you are buying the firearm.

 

[bullpup]

anybody see any xdm 45s there for a good price?

 

[ragincajun1919]

I went today and only 1 table had a stripped lower, and it was RRA. I was hoping for the usually Essential Arms lower but didn't see a single one. ****ers.

 

[jdaige33]

Im going to bring my gewehr 43 tomorrow to see if anyone is interested.
