Re: Gun Show: Hampton Convention Center 28-29
Why didn't you call me?
Show was okay. Prices didn't seem much different than the shops to me.
I'm glad we went though, I liked being able to handle each gun that I wanted to without having to ask someone to show it to me and worrying about people being in my face asking if I wanted to buy it/needed help, etc.

they had a maverick 88 which normally sell for around 300-350$ up there for 450$ plus tax.
12ga. shotgun, with 18 1/2" barrel, shoots 3" shells. awesome alarm system for the house. thus the reason i purchased.
i bought my mav88 from wilcox down jefferson, and i payed 280$ plus tax. and that even came with a pistol grip stock, and lanyard.
them people have some crazy ass prices.
they have good knife sharpeners tho. i sharpened all the knives in my house so far.

So some of the dealers are fishing for suckers it seems like.

Re: Gun Show: Hampton Convention Center 28-29
Saw many nice, rare, reasonably priced guns that I've never seen at another show. There was this .45-70 there that made me cream my pants. The best .50cal for the money I've seen, a few very nicely done .308's, great prices on ammo as well. And they had the exact Mini-14 I've been craving for a while now but didn't pull the trigger on.
Shotgun prices were spot on if you knew/know what to look for. Damn good deal on a couple Mossberg 500's fully decked out with the nicest shotgun sights I've ever seen. Saw another 12ga. bolt action with a muzzle break and selectable chokes that was only $200.
Just need to know what to look for
I was there for about three hours and didn't even get to see everything. It was a great show and HIGHLY worth going to.

I didn't know you were into guns Cat!
Not anything wrong with it (because I am too), but I can't picture it for some reason.
