A fine show, even without being a large gun show. Plenty of great deals for someone that enjoys the lack of trouble of the big shows. Plenty of guns, and shooting related items . Lots of private gun dealers , as well as plenty of FFL holders for the new guns. Food was good without the high costs charged by a big time vendor. If you like a wide assortment of both new and pre- owned firearms this is a well spent day. There are plenty of things to keep the wife happy, while you buy yourself a fine pistol.
This was an Army Navy surplus flea market on a good day that I paid $32.00 in admission for my 2 sons and 30 yr retired local LE father in law, w/o access to a receipt, had 120 tables advertised and 30 of those had actual firearms and ammo for sale and then had a rent a drunk wanna be cop searched my 16 yr old for stolen items as one of the wanna be wool sock vendors accused him of stealing a $5.00 hat he carried in plain sight throughout the 120 x 80 display hall not understanding that each booth vendor was to be paid, not a check out at the door like a normal retail outlet. This all takes place while I am negotiating a $400.00 firearm and ammo deal w/a very nice vendor whom I did not get his name as we were escorted out by show management while being threatened LE would be called. I cannot believe Barstow Air Base has allowed themselves to be associated with this type of organizer, hopefully it doesn’t access any of my taxpayer dollars for the facility upkeep or operations?
Beware of this show promoter as after years and 100s of shows and purchases, not sure these folks are really not after your $70 table rent and $8.00 admission with the hopes no one hangs around. This is definitely not the type of show Florida Gun Shows and Lakeland Rifle and Pistol.
This is not a real gun show, do not waste your hard earned money here, that’s all they are after, as they do craft shows for a living from what I see which explains all the surplus socks and belts and the poor management on site.
