Thoughts on Lebanon Gun show
Hey guys, how did you make out at the show? I was there at 9am on saturday and it got really full. I was unimpressed with the prices this year. I was looking for a 9mm XD, sig or Glock and couldn't find anything under 550. I finally found a 9mm XD for 370.
I was also trying to sell my Mac-11 and got no interest. I have always been able to move guns the past 3 years, but this year was rough. I got no interest from dealers and visitors.

Re: Thoughts on Lebanon Gun show
Stopped in Sunday morning looking for a Springfield 1911. Ended up buying a new 9109LP for below what I was finding them online. Wanted an OD loaded but I have yet to see one for sale. FIL bought a sling for his AR. I thought it was a decent show. More then one dealer said how people were doing more browsing than buying though.
Had fun at the range this afternoon.

Re: Thoughts on Lebanon Gun show
so you joined the pistol caliber carbine club?
while an uzi is cool, it is just a stamped deal, but it is steel, and therfor cooler than plastic and aluminum, but not as cool as milled steel and walnut.
you did'nt mention a caliber, that could raise the cool points quite a bit.
would have liked to gone, but this working almost every day(had the 2nd off) this month so far thing is starting to be a hassle.it's only metal, we can out think it....

Re: Thoughts on Lebanon Gun show
I am sort of bummed that I only had one person ask to see me for sale Mac-11 at the show. Last year i sold a Makarov within 30 minutes. When I post the Mac-11 on the forums I have all kinds of people asking about it and coming to see it. (all lookers and no buyers).

Re: Thoughts on Lebanon Gun show
Thought it was a good show, the prices were high, probably due to the NRA propogated paranoia over the AZ shooting that they'll use to line their pockets more
picked up a few things I needed, saw lots I would have liked to buy like a SVT-40 but prices were to high for me
Noticed lots of Mausers and Finn Nagants this time... April is comingHonesta Mors Turpi Vita Potior ~ 3%

Re: Thoughts on Lebanon Gun show
I had a good time at the show and even finished up a couple of AR projects. There were some good prices out there, but there were so many buyers they didn't last long.
Here are a couple of my scores. Took 2 visits to hunt them down and some haggling, but I ended up feeling as though it was well worth it.
A couple of lowers for $80.00 each (Spikes)
A lower parts kit for $55 (Bushmaster)
Magpul M2 slings (2) for $35.00 each
A couple of FREE detent springs
Grippod for $50 new (Not a knock off)
Magpul BAD levers x2 for $25.00 each
Spikes ST12 buffer for $25.00
Charging handle w/ BADGR extended handle for $40.00
Magpul ASAP sling mount $20.00
AR15 multi tool $22.00 (DPMS)
Set of A.R.M.S BUIS 71L for $65 (New)
Magpul MIAD pistol grip $20.00
Ergo Pistol grip $20.00
Goodie,
Did you score that XD at the back right of the smaller room from Nate? Just my thoughts as far as MAC-11's go, there isn't a strong market because you can buy them new for a fairly low cost, and they are not very practical. I have one, but no real interest in selling it nor buying another.

Re: Thoughts on Lebanon Gun show
Frosty, I did get my pistol from the back corner - Lancoarms I believe was the name of the company. They had some nice items and great prices. I should of picked up a BAD lever from them too. I asked them to throw in a free t-shirt and he did! Nice guys. It seemed like they were kicking butt.
I got the MAC pretty cheap like 8 years ago and I want to sell it to buy a sub compact carry piece. I wanted a sub-compact piece at the gun show, but when I saw the price and condition of the XD9 I had to have it.

Re: Thoughts on Lebanon Gun show
I was standing next to you when you were dealing with Nate. Glad he hooked you up. They had some higher prices on their items but they were able to move a little bit on pricing. Nate doesn't have an official store front and doesn't buy in huge bulk. Damn nice guys, and they work hard for the business.
PS> If you didn't score the XD, I more than likely would have picked it up myself
