I went to the show on Saturday and loaded up on ammo and reloading supplies. Some od the dealers were having price was on ar15 uppers. One was selling a tricked out m4 upper with a red dot scope for 369

[rsrocket1]

How were the reloading prices? Were the prices about the same or better than online prices or was it pretty much a balance between shipping cost/hazmat vs tax?

Uh no? If anything our prices are cheaper at gun shows.

Come visit us guys, we're off back in the left corner of the main building when you come in. We can beat damn near any price and can order in anything you don't see, including BARs and maybe an M240 (CA legal even ).

I'm thinking about going to this today but don't know if it would be worth it? What do you guys think? (Never been to a gun show)

[Gryff]

God...I remember the 80s when a CalExpo show meant two full halls of guns and very little jerky and turquoise.

[Slammy]

Not to mention the killer Hot Brats and cold beer.

Sometimes not so good and other times very good.
Last two were very good to me, I found what I was looking for both times.
I guess I will find out today how it is
Heading there in about an hour.

I am going down there just to check it out and see what's around.

The local gun shows are continuing to get better.

I took my wife there for her birthday. Never been there before. Had no idea it would be 10 friggin bucks just to park, guess Sac area people are used to that, I feel its robbery.

The prices on most of the guns were not just poor, they were flat out stupid. I felt like a bit of a jerk but I took a look at a few guns I was interested in, turned over the tag and just walked away laughing. I really couldn't help myself. 600$ for a M44 Mosin Nagant Carbine with folding bayonet with rust on it. There were others like that as well. I almost felt insulted.

Never seen so many Kraig rifles before though. Wanted one but decided to pass. I did pick up a new Steyr M91 Carbine chambered in the 8x56 though. Thats a fun little gun.

Was looking for gun parts and didnt find a damn thing.

Norse Armory was there. I spent some time drooling over their goods and they have some very reasonable prices. Good guys.

[Bigtwin]

Capitain: I feel ya on the parking fee at Cal Expo! Many prices on guns I have seen in the past have been no better than at any gun shop.
However the M44 could have been a joke or if ya did some checking it MAY have been a rare one(hit or miss), I have not returned to the Sac. show in three years due to all the crap for sale(jerky and crafts) and lack of reasonable pricing.

Norse Armory are good folks, I recommend ya stop by their place in Woodland, I have had nothing but great service from them.
