Rochester Gun Show

[johnplav]

Gun show this weekend in Henrietta.  Anyone else going?  

I'v gone most years, but I think I'v only bought 1 or 2 used guns.  

The deals on new guns never seem that great.

[Five Seasons]

everytime I go I never seem to find a deal that I couldn't get from gunbrooker. Would like a .243 and a redhawk though so maybe worth a trip. is their admittance fee?

[johnplav]

Usually $8, I assume its the same this year. 

Its a good chance to see alot of guns.  I guess you never know what you'll stumble on.  I have a long list of guns that I want, and some are a bit obscure.  

[johnplav]

Its too crowded for me for the first few hours, so Ill go later in the day.

I guess I dislike crowds more than I like deals.

I bet 80% of the people who collect guns share the same feelings haha. Stereotypes come from a real place.

Also, Monroe County is usually there for pistol permit adds... 

so if the system is working, it makes buying a pistol a bit less of a hassle.

Heading over at noon to set up DDs ranch tables. Always a good show. Shows lately and and business lately has been pretty good.

The better gun shows are just a great place to see and look at stuff you will see no where else especially on the really high end. The big three, Rochester, Syracuse and Albany shows are my favorites but these days Syracuse is the only one I attend regularly.

The shows are a good place to find those hard to locate items especially the discontinued ammo, brass, knives and classic firearms and those items are what I am usually interested in most. Last spring I finally found a Savage 99A in 250 Savage in mint condition after looking for and seeking one out for many years. Very hard to find 284 Winchester brass or ammo, found some custom loaded ammo for another score. Scored on a new Camillus bird hook pocket knife also.  

Most common firearms or equipment I just buy at the local shops or online.

I usually hit the syracuse show , but I didn't get there last spring. I pick up a great deal on primers there. Went to a outdoor show up in rochester quite a few years ago  wasn't worth the trip. I have been home sick most of the week  so I'm probably  staying home.  Getting a little stir crazy.

This is usually where I stock up on cleaning supplies like brushes and picks

My neighbor  makes a very good living, selling those things at guns shows, biker shows outdoor shows and so on. Tables of bore lights ,picks, cheap fanny and day packs ,para cord, T shirts, knives  and so forth .

So much that he bought a factory in China , to cut out the middle man .

Just got home. Took the 2 oldest after the gym to kill some time on this rainy day. Worth the $8 in admission just for the browsing. I was looking for a lightly used .243 and never found one that was worth the asking price. Some old, lots of new and I’m sure some decent deals if you’re hunting for specifics.

Also interesting to see what the guys at all star tactical are doing to make NY compliant ARs. Might do some more research on the .223 if I really get into predator.

I dont know if youd be interested but I've got a single shot 243 I'd sell

[Gencountyzeek]

Very busy day for us at DDs ranch. All of the sudden people are buying again. Hamburg gun show and this one are complete opposite of the last year of gun shows. Hoping tomorrow i get a chance to walk around and shop maybe.

Honestly and people will argue this to death. I wouldnt own one. For the simple reason you can open the receiver take the mag out close the receiver. You now have a rifle with all the scary features and the mag detached. That is against the safe act. I know all of this is bullshit, i know alot of police could care less, i know theres dealers selling them. I wouldnt own it. Either pin the mag, or go featureless or build what you want and dont get caught.

Myself, I won’t comply . I spent a few minutes with a drill and Allen wrench ,converted it back.

Installed upside down it locks mag even with receiver open.   Won’t comment on how easy it may be to swap from right side up to upside down.

What are the hours tomorrow?

And thats the thing, the law say is has to be non detachable if it has scary features. If i ever ended up in a court room with a lawyer explaing to the judge the definition of detachable and theres my gun with a magazine detached from it...again everyone can do as they wish but unfortunately im stuck in this state and i dont feel like spending time in jail for something so stupid.

Appreciate it, but not too interested in a single.
