Ehhh ok prices...loooooots on .380s if you're looking for a pocket pistol. Saw some good prices on some jframes.
And I saw a xdm compact there....I will be getting one as soon as it comes out in 40!
Quite a few ARs as well, and a decent assortment of other black rifles.
They're using up the whole room this time, instead of half. But it's far from full. This worked out well though because you didn't have to cop a feel with some hairy guy to look at a gun when he wouldn't get out of the middle of the aisle

I was walking around for a couple of hours with a SOCOM 16...saw some cool stuff, nothing priced good enough that I couldn't pass it up, and no good offers on my SOCOM.
Got there at 9 when they opened. Talked to chainsaw51 and usssaump. Took along my nephew. I have been trying to sell my CVA .50 Mag Bolt for 6 months now. Just didnt want it, figured I would never take it to the range, so I took it along with me to see if I could make a trade. Didnt really see anyone else with Muzzle Loader (Just a couple) but came up on one booth selling ammo and other things. Offered him a trade. I wanted to get $70 for the gun, I did get $60 in Merchandise. Traded for a large universal gun cleaning kit in an aluminum case and some CCI Stingers. I have learned that down here in MS you cant hardly give away a muzzle loader. Looked for some guns I have been looking at elsewhere and as usual they were extremely overpriced. Found a .38 Rossi, 2 in. bbl that I had been looking at, at Academy. Academy-$239, Gunshow-$399. Also found one of those Super Commanche 45LC/410 single shots I was looking at online. Buds and Cheaperthandirt-$160, Gunshow-$289. Its still worth $8 to look at all the guns though.

one table had some wolf match extra but that was before I got there. He said someone came by and bought both bricks he had.Xd357 said:
Who bought up all the match extra?

I didn't even ask.
I stopped by and talked to D.Phillips and he turned a Marlin 22 in to this.

Kinda!? Don't know who it was more magical for but I'm happy as long as I don't loose it.

I enjoyed it. Saw some vendors that haven't been here in a while. Only .22 I saw was lots of CCI and some Aguila. Picked up a box of Tula small pistol primers, not bad at $21. Some Winchester large rifle not so good at $30. Two ammo cans (always buy an ammo can 
). Oh, and another S&W 9mm. Good deal on the pistol, it pays to have obscure tastes, low demand for what I like.

I forgot I actually bought something today as well...spent a whopping $15 on a pmag with the window to try out in my AR...pretty much the same price as they run online, maybe a bit cheaper....but once you factor in shipping and whatnot I probably broke even on it. Seems like a solid mag...tight as all get out though, seemed to get easier after messing with it for a while though
First time attending here. Some of the dealers are the same every where you go...Hey what have you got there? How much you asking? OOOO that much eh? Meanwhile their guns are priced $200 over what I can find them on the internet. Some of these guys must be used car salesman during the week...
I though the prices were from fair to high. but like most shows there were a couple of deals that were head and shoulders above the rest. Nice to see primers back again.
After walking around with my wife...I said at least a movie would have lasted 90 minutes..for the 8 dollars.

Unless I just wanna go "chew the fat" with some MSGO members or go see Big D...I'm done with any Jxn Gun Show....
For the most part, its a rip off....There are very few tables and tons of it is way over priced...Every now and then you will see some interesting stuff...like a Bobby Rico blade....
ya'll quit going and buying that stuff and maybe they will get right...
I remember the good days...Lots of Garands, carbines, WWII 1911's...belt fed and other full auto stuff...used to be lots of Civil War era guns...(granted they were Yankee guns!)...Lots of ladies around helping sell...the whole Trade Mart was filled...now they do good to use 1/3 of it
My 2 cents
