what's a case of 223 going for at shows now? let's say wolf gold vs wolf steel cased? lower end/ training stuff

I'm thinking that I saw some stuff at $.50/round but don't hold me to it. I didn't see any that I considered cheap.

I snagged a used 9-shot Mossberg 590A1 with ghost ring sights for $450 so I was happy. I was looking only at Mossberg shotguns while there so I cannot comment on much of anything else. Regarding those, I saw some fair prices and some crazy prices. I did notice 5.56 ammo prices seemed high. I did not see ScottsGuard either. There were actually quite a few vendors missing that were normally there. Prices aside, I thought they did have good firearm selection overall. This was my kid*s first gun show. She enjoyed walking down the wide aisles (while supervised, of course) when it was not busy.

Is Dillon reloading there. I want to talk to them about .32 dies.

Dillon doesn't come to these shows. Contact them at their web site.

If selling your pistol, transfer through a PA dealer or sell directly to a dealer. You will need to have your drivers license with you regardless of which route you take.

No dealer takes a $50 deposit to do a transfer. Beware of the liars that say they do. That being said, yes a dealer will charge to do a transfer because it isn*t free. That is usually paid for by the buyer. Steer clear of buyers who are mentally unstable enough to claim dealers take a $50 deposit to do a transfer.

Seller beware that if the buyer fails the background check then you will have to have your handgun transferred back to you. If your potential buyer goes into research, then the pistol has to stay with the dealer until there is a determination, and you will have to figure out how you want to deal with that. Lots of risk involved with selling handguns in/at this show. It*s just the way it is now unfortunately.

Some dealers may charge $25 (never heard of a dealer charging $10 to do a transfer) but those are the guys that have yet to be screwed by the process. Also, smarter dealers will charge two different rates*one for a pass/proceeed, and a much higher rate for a denial. Both of which you may or may not pay depending upon how you work out the deal with a non licensed individual.

Wow! Who would ever get himself involved in that kind of transaction? What happens when the show closes and the matter isn't resolved yet? The dealer keeps the gun and you have to chase after them in New York State somewhere? I have sold two handguns at the show, both to dealers with zero hassles. Take the brand new price and ask for half. It'll sell.

Yeah this si why dealers either dont do transfers at the show, or they charge so much for them. Most of the time they resolve smoothly, but some times it*s a headache and not worth the time or effort.

If the buyer and the seller agree on the deal, it's a good deal.

I don't know about this show, as I haven't been there yet...but there are always a few vendors selling exotic BDU's...flecktarn and some other multicam variaties come to mind. There are also some great online shops for these...
