Nothing you can't find online for cheaper, and unless your looking for low end stuff don't bother.

A Gun show really isn't a place for bargain hunting. Don't get me wrong, it's a cool place to hang out to see what's in the marketplace, but unless it's something you gotta have now...you'll find it cheaper online. I go to all the Glendale, Ontario, & Costa Mesa shows. Sometimes, just to browse.

what parts do you still need? I think almost everything is cheaper online except maybe an OLL and BB. At gun shows i usually buy small things like cleaning kits, pads, cases, etc.

During the good old days, the Pomona shows used to have great deals on all types of parts. Now a days I just order direct from the net.

Au Contraire Monfrier, I just picked up a 1983 Rom G kit Zero rust, never fired, matching numbers for $250 in Reno.

it is sad to say but all of the shows that I've been to lately: Sac, San Fransisco, and in Vallejo just seem to be places where people try to gouge you for anything anymore. Ammo, rifle, or handgun... Even getting into a show is getting expensive, when you add in the cost of gas, plus paying to park and paying to get into the show. Going to sac or the cow palace I've almost already spent $30. I don't think I'll be going to a show for quite sometime. Definitely look online, it's a lot cheaper. I was thinking next time I'm in AZ I'm going to a gun show there and get some ammo.

He's talking about OC gun shows.

If I drove all the way to Reno for the gun show, that $250 kit would have cost me several hundred just in gas, and then food and hotel another few hundred. So no real savings there, being that they can be had for $300 online.
