Dickson City Days Inn - March 27th & 28th

[redeye202]

Went up in the am,got to meet Rich W.,DC and Tootie,all great people.
Got some 45 reloads, may go back tomorrow and buy a much larger quantity.

As others have said,not many hand guns,plenty of rifles and of course there was THE GUN, 50 cal. full auto and only $20,000+tax,pics and stamp,.

Went up there looking for a P64,none to be found,looked for a set of grips for my 45,a vendor had Ivory grips and for only $400 they could be mine,uh,no thanks.

Bumped into that JAH kid,you know the one the SPD like so much that they always feel compled to stop him and BS for awhile.. We talked for awhile then i had to leave.

All in all meeting Rich,DC,Tootie and JAW. made today a great day.

Not nearly as cramped as last time. Same shitty prices...when glock 19s and 22s are 600 their is something wrong.

Really nice and large WWII German collection of stuff.

Not as much stuff as last time, i'd say 40%-50% less. I guess the harrisburg show last week and the slippery rock next week is where the focus is.

Ammo prices were such bullshit. 9mm box of 50 target ammo is not 20+tax. So i bought some reloads off DC daulton, 12 bucks for 50 rounds of 9mm, that's almost as good as Walmart.....well actually it might be better. DC you should make that your guys motto "Prices better than Walmart" lol

Dave Zeller was selling an Olympic AR-15 for 699 I believe it was the Plinker Plus? Other tables had the exact same gun USED for 750-800.

Oh the best ass raping price I saw was a mossberg 500 with sidesaddle, monte carlo stock and maybe a fore-grip-------------------------------$$$600$$$ on sale haha

All in All will I be attending the next one? Possibly

Just to clarify....mickey. Rich doesn't sell reloads, he sells remanufactured. Reloads are what someone does in their garage or basement. Remanufactured are subject to the same testing and inspection procedures as new loads and only using once fired brass. A misconception that many have. There's a huge difference between the two.

Tootie,thanks for the correction on--remanufactured as opposed to reloaded ammo,i also made the same mistake,i just learned something new today and it's only 8:21AM.

How many times can the casings be remanufactured?

So how much is it to get into this show? Is it worth the admission fee?

Wasn't a bad show. Picked up a spring assist knife but nothing else. Prices on the guns seemed quite poor. Also was crowded as hell, had quite a bit of trouble navigating through the isles. Also didn't see any good deals on 762x54 ammo. Best rate was 30 cents a round...still a dime off being a deal for me.

Anyone pick up an NcStar scope from near the middle of the room? I got a 2.5x10x40 illuminated mildot scope for $100 last show in Allentown, vendor is very nice and seemed to really know what she's talking about. Looks great on my ROMAK now.

Are we talking the same show cause it was deader than Kelsey's nuts today! As far as the 7.62 x 54 you must have missed our table. We opened a fresh spam can of lightball and had it out at $5 a box, with a discount on bulk. You also missed the spam can we had yesterday (and sold) at $100 (22.2 cents a round)

Well again we are talking apples and oranges. MOST remanufacturers only use once fired brass. Reloaders on the other hand will reuse brass 5 - 10 times depending on the caliber.

In the case of Rich he only uses once fired, he gets it from the LE range down in Maryland.

And in the case of the brass you brought me it was from an outdoor range, that's why the 223 was black and unusable. Once that kind of corrosion starts the brass is junk.
