Antioch gun show this weekend

[Curley Red]

Got free time on Saturday so I was wondering if it is worth it to go to this show, i have never been. Is it small and mostly jerky and ninja stuff or is it a descent show to go to?

[WWDHD?]

I've never been to this show and have always wondered about it. I like the Vallejo and Cow Palace shows. San Jose show is not very good IMO.
If you go post what you thought of the Antioch show.

It's the same folks that run the Vallejo one, so I'd imagine it'll be very similar in terms of vendors and quality.

I'm going to head up just to do some pricing, but I'm really not expecting anything decent. Just a lot of old shotguns, ammo, jerky and tasers.

Yeah I have been there it is a real small show. You get some different people there. As far as gun shows I think this is one of the smallest held in the bay area. So don`t be surprised if you get let down by it.

On the up side you don`t pay for parking and you don`t pay for bridge toll. Which saves half the cost.

Over all it`s an okay show. Almost snatch a real good deal on a rifle there years ago but sadly I was dumb and din`t went back to another 2 shows never saw another deal but that was a couple years ago.

I went there once to check it out. It's VERY small. I walked in and out in 20 minutes. It's good to support a local show but too far for me to justify attending. If I had it all to do over again I wouldn't have gone.

I would'nt go its not worth the drive from El Dorado hills. It's pretty small.

Second that... and from El Dorado Hills go to Reno. It is a very good show.
However you never know what you find at any show and they just might have that 1 thing you got to have.

And if you do go to Reno and buy any high cap mags make sure to disassemble them before coming back into CA.

Guess I'll stay home and reload. Thanks for the heads up.

Not worth the trip, and I live only two miles away.

[G-Man WC]

Nope, and l also live close in Walnut Creek. Save your gas and buy jerky at 7-11. -g

I'll probably stop by after work. I believe Luis (AR15Gearsofwar) will be there.

I've been to this show on about 3 occassions over the years and I would say you could walk through it slowly in about 30 minutes (tiny). At the height of the obama scare there was alot of price gouging by by a few vendors selling cheap chinese knock-offs, Alot of C&R stuff, a few meager Black Rifle Vendors (selling $350 stripped lowers) and the usual antique/accessory vendors. BUT...It's been a few years since I've been and Im hoping things have changed. II know things have settled down and more folks have rustled up the courage to sell quality black rifle goods for better prices. I'm hoping this shows today. My $.02

Small show as usual. Ammo prices are the same as local retail.
Came home with 10/30 Pmags for $17 each, cleaning patches, misc stuff.

Really good guy and Good Buddy. Guy will do anything he can to help, and save you money.

I really don't know how that man makes money with the prices he charges. Obviously he's doing well since his family has several booths at all the gun shows. My friend says it's cuz he's in it with the cartels...
