    Last time I went - about a year ago it wasn't worth it.

    Better ammo prices from sportsmanguide or other internet sites.

    No good prices and not much to see.

    I guess I was spoiled by the old Pomona shows.

    Costa Mesa used to be OK but unless it has improved from last year its not worth the walk from the parking lot even if it was free admission which its not.

        I went a few months ago and it was pretty neat. 3 full buildings and a full open area.

            I've scored some pretty sweet deals on guns at this show in the recent past. I'm going tomorrow to stock up on ammo and stuff, and look for someone selling Kahrs.

            Any comparisond the the Great Western in Pomona are sure to fall short; that show was the greatest. Too bad Zev Yariscrapski is such a libtard jerk.

              I'm going tommorow. Need an ak recoil buffer, and tons of ammo, holsters cases etc.

                  Might be for all the AR parts & accessories?

                    hello,
                    I went to the show today, new to Kali from Dallas..
                    have been to 2 shows in Del Mar..they,,wern't too good..
                    this one impressed me in comparison..reminded me more of the convention center shows..

                    4 buildings, lots of stuff to peruse..
                    got good deals on a holster, nevada leather for N frame,for 40.00 seems good quality. Appears comparable to Kramer leather
                    did find a for real Texas DPS badge, I jumped on for 100.00 Know it was real because it looks just like mine...lol..
                    Didnt check gun prices too closely...didnt see any bargains jumping at me.
                    living in SD, didnt want to drive 3 hours to pick one up in 10 days..of course there were the requisit Jerky tables. aluminum welders. toys, general crap..
                    but over all, compared to SD shows worth the drive to kill a saturday morning..

                      There is a guy selling Eagle Arms AR-10 lowers at the show and supposedly has a letter from the DOJ saying it's ok. Someone, anyone, please get a copy of that letter. If not a copy, look at it closely and report back the details. Date, who from DOJ signed it and so on.

                      Thank you

                        Biggest show I ever recall seeing in Orange co. Worth the trip. Free parking, but $12.00 to get in (bring dollar off coupon). Saw some great deals on Tact./ mil-surp gear. Probably the crowdest O.C. show I've been to.

                          SUCKED. $12 now too! And it's interesting to see the skinheads out in the show again too.

                          Some of the Colt revolver pirces were ok for CA too though and I saw a S&W model 28 4" in about 85-90% for $300.

Also, if you look at the AW list of banned rifles, they list "Armalite" and "Eagle Arms" as seperate manufacturers or "Make", and then list the rifle models respectively under each make/manufacturer name. Eagle Arms is a seperate division of Armalite, and the CA DOJ treats it as such on the AW list!
                              Did you state to the DOJ and let them know that Armalite is actually roll-stamped on the receiver?
