    Ontario gun show this weekend

    i have never been to this gun show and im kind of curious about the set up and what to expect.

    How big is it. is there more than just 1 table with ammo? Im looking more for ammo and maybe a cheapy red dot for my 10/22 i have only been to the one at del amr and the show is 1/2 asian people trying to sell you jewelry.....

    parking cost? shoould i expect a 3/4mile line to get in?

    i just dont like to go into things without having expectations. thanks for the help. and hope to see you guys there.

    for a cheapo dot and "some" ammo I would skip it.
    basic show, smaller than CM and IT WILL BE CRAZY this time around.

      Very small. Smaller than Del Mar. Think of a BIG conference room. Also, parking is charged at the center.

            yes, this show is very small.... do not even waste your time and gas... j/k

            I just hope some of the prices will come down, and that there will be quite a bit of ammo.

              but i do also need a large rifle primer. all else fails bass pro isnt to much further up the freeway, although im pretty sure thay are going to be empty.

              But it seems like a good way to kill a day.

                I thought I heard Ammo Bros was going to be there?

                Calguns will have a booth there so stop in and say hey to your fellow Calgunners. If there is ammo there they will know where to find it.

                  can someone compare Ontario's size to the Glendale show? I'm presuming that Ontario is similar in size. I'm looking for info on how Ontario goes to get a feel for later shows in the region.
                  I'm planning to go to Costa Mesa but dread the insane mob that will likely be there. And crazy prices. I'm simply not going to pay $40+++ for 1k of primers.
                  Nor any substantial markup on bulk bullets or powders.
                  Gunshows used to be the place for good bargains on reloading components. The Thanksgiving Costa Mesa show was ok, but stuff was flying out of there, the ONLY relaoding component seller was out of powder and primers by ~1030am on Sat. And I'm sure bullets not long after.
                  Don't even want to imagine what the D-Day mob is going to be like. Or Jun20 in Bakersfield.

                    I'm pretty sure that Ontario's show is going to be larger than the Glendale show was.

                      Just remember: If more people show up, next year's show will be bigger.

                        If that's your #1 reason to go (like I did), then it's all good. Meet like minded people. Cap it off with a visit to Bass Pro

                          Ontario is a large (actually quite nice) conference center. Its definately not as big as CM, not even close. MiWall will be there, as always, and I have seen Ammo Bros. and CWS there before too. You probably could find primers there. I hope by the time I get there there is still some ammo left.

                            I happened to be in the area and attended an Ontario show last year - Nice size - One interesting thing I noted - There were lots of families in attendant -

                              I am supposed to go there on the way to lytle creek for some sight-ins....I plan on being there IN LINE at like 730am..like CM. It is a much smaller show and LAST time I parked across in the dirt they charged 8-10 bucks...but later, people were parking for free...went and *****ed and got my tenner back..
                              Maybe i will get some ammo but I will have someone from our group stay with the car...tooo much $$$ 'stuff' inside to leave unattended in a lot.
                              I plan at MOST 1 hour in there then get to lytle by 1030-11, god I hope it is not 100 degrees this weekend..
