Since they refurbed the 4H building,this show stinks. Most of the old vendors are gone. Just new dealers mostly not collectors trading.just mho.
Best gun show in Iowa.
I hope this is better than the last one in March, people wanted way to much for lower parts kits. Had to buy off the Internet. A couple of Dealers that were selling the CMMG kit you said that the company raised there prices. Then I took out and showed them how was it I could go to there website and buy it for $45 to $50. Then I was told if I was not going to buy anything to just move on. Needless to say I will no longer be purchasing anything from them ever agai. The one dealer I have done business with for over 8 years. I want to buy local and at gun shows that are here but when they out right lie to you. They no longer get my money period. And I had noticed later on that Saturday one guy lowered his price. So it’s only fair to let fellow hunters and gun builders know when people are gouging prices. So from now on I will be the red neck and let people know where they can get better deals.
It’s what the market will bear. I’ve bought some stuff from different places that were way over priced but I needed the product and it was the only place I could find it. I will remember the people that did not jack up their prices too crazy. I will support them.
Solid show for sure. Please bring your cash as cash is king to getting sweet deals.
Excellent show and some great deals on AR’s.
The last show I attended was in April at Fairgrounds. If you take some time and search you can find some good prices.
Hope they have good prices this time . Last time was looking for lower receiver parts kit and everyone want $ 70.00 and more and the $ 70.00 dollar ones did not come with firing group or pistol grip.
