Any nice Garands or 03A3s in the mix? Glenn always has some good stuff! Hey, does that mean you can't join us for lunch? |

At least a couple Garands, beater shotguns, an AR or two, and whatever else gets loaded! Listen, there are two prices: what I put on the gun and what I'll take, and there's usually a pretty good gap in between so don't be afraid to ask. Unless it's wicked buisy or we're short handed, I'll be going to lunch with everybody. If you're reading this and plan on attending the show: I am going to place an order for X number of 1,440 round cases of Guatimalian 5.56mm. Send an IM if you're interested. |

How about the South African 7.62 in battlepacks? Will you have any of it and if so at what price speculatively? |

Nope.  Aim Surplus is the only place I know of that has the SA battlepacks. Price is good, shipping sucks. |

Sat AM is good for me too. Where do you meet for lunch? |

Guys - I wont be able to make the show - but could any of you print up some "send a brick" flyers and hand them out/place them on dealer tables etc?
Heres a link to the flyer page: www.send-a-brick.com/takeaction.htm |

Am I correct this photo was taken towards the Wegmans parking lot behind Tully's?  Did you cause a scene? I noticed the kid has an airsoft rifle, but that M1A looks pretty real!EDIT: I'm looking forward to meeting you guys, whoever shows up. |

Really wanted to hit the show this time - but have to be in PA that weekend.
That '04 meet was great - truly memorable moment with a great bunch of friends. |

 Yep. It was real, alright. You should have seen the people jumping out of the McDonalds! There was a LOT of iron in the Tullys parking lot that day. Probably the safest spot on W Genesee Street for an hour or so

Hey Marc, do you guys leave the show at noon, or is that just when you guys rally? I don't know if I'd be ready to bug out that early... |
|
|
|

Posted: 4/17/2006 6:15:51 AM EDT
[#27]
Yeah, we usually leave around noon after all gather. Thats why I get there early. No reason why you couldn't go back to the show after lunch. Your hand will be stamped, and the restaurant is maybe a 10 minute drive from the fairgrounds.

Word has it that ALL the tables are sold... lots of vendors should equate to better selection and better prices. With fuel ~$3.00 a gallon, many of these guys will have to charge more for their wares.

It should be a great show, as fp101 said they are sold out, there are even people on a backup list if anyone cancels, I wish that someone would cancel, the promoter told me that this was the first time in a long time that they had sold all of the tables, should be a good time for all.....Sean.

Wow, that is surprising. The show is usually pretty full, but not always filled to capacity, much less a waiting list to get in.

Hah, it probably just means more folks are aware that our next Governor will likely be a gun-grabbing fascist (I mean MORE of a gun-grabbing fascist that Pataki).
Some of you guys are probably too young to remember the fall gunshow waaaayyyyyy back in 1989 (Bush 41's import ban) and the fall 1994 (Klinton's AW ban). Oh my. Now those were some crowded shows with a LOT of active buyers/sellers. |

I got my little brother interested in the show. He wants to get either an AR lower or an M1 Garand. Needless to say I'm a proud older brother. Next thing for him is a team member account here. He got a couple of his friends to go too. I hope it will be a good show.
I've heard rumors that some licensing authorites will be at the show to sign off on new pistols, is that true? I can't imagine it would be, but I'm checking with those who know anyhow. |

Posted: 4/17/2006 1:51:50 PM EDT

First, for a Garand, check with FP1201, our resident Garand expert. I think he has one for sale and is more than fair with the NY crew. I know Monroe County has had their licensing folks on site in the past during the Rochester show. This has never happened at the Syracuse show, but I think it would be a fantastic idea if true. |

Ughh... One show that sticks in my mind is the Fall 2001 show right after 9/11. I remember passing Crucible Steel on State Fair Blvd. and seeing "GUN SHOW CANCELLED" in huge lights on the monster sign outside the main gate. I felt like someone murdered my whole family before my eyes... Okay, maybe that's a little extreme, but you guys know what I mean...
I'll never understand that move by Pataki, not to mention many other of his moves. If ever one NEEDED a gunshow it was then. Someone was going to earn alot of my money in ammo sales that weekend.

a massive +1 but also id be affraid of some of the looney toons who think every guy thats dark skinned and drives a taxi is a terrorist would do something irrational (as they did in NYC when they beat up taxi drivers)... but yeah, it shouldnt of been cancelled, it would of helped business out a great deal. |

 What are the odds of being able to find a Kel-Tec Sub 2000 at this show? I know I'm behind enemy lines and can't get Glock high-caps, but any good chances? |

I saw a couple there as well. And you can find Hi Cap Pre Ban Glock magazines as well.

I hope to get the gun, and if I do, I'll wait on magazines. I can buy them online and shipped to my home state for when I bring the gun home rather than pay through the nose for some prebans. Hopefully I can find a decent deal on one. |

We're going Friday afternoon to set up and do a little "early-birding".
Yes I will have a few Garands and a couple AR's. Remember $100. SKS's? There will be a few on the table: Not pretty, certainly not clean, but they are cheap!

I had completely forgotten that the show was coming up until I saw this post and responded.
Now I can't wait!  I have about $400 to work with. I'm hoping to squeeze a Kel-Tec Sub 2000 and a SKS together. But that'll be tough. |

My punch list looks like this:
-7.62x51 ammo -223 ammo -AR 30 rounders (On my way to becoming a mag whore) -20mm Ammo cans to hold the 30 rounders that i have As an aside, I have been hunting hard for a Browning BAR in 308 for about a year. Older model (89-94) in pristine condition like new in the box. I had a dream the other night that i would find this sacred firestick on Saturday at the gun show. Lets see how clairvoyant i am......
