Are Eastman Gunshows worth going to? Updated.

[herebyproxy]

Save your money for the rk shows at the Atlanta expo center. They do them 2 times a year, the national arms show. These shows are massive and have all types of deals. Even during the craze the amout of independents far outweighed the big timers and good deals were still to be had. Not a total flea market due to size. I think something like 2000 tables are usually reserved. Eastman shows like lots say here are fixed. They are retail machines. Most of the folks doing those shows have been around forever. When a new guy shows up they get all crabby about competition and his or her prices are cheaper. Its a fixed free market. Its like going to 30 different gun stores in one day and they all have the same guns priced 2-5 dollars different. Guns shows in general are a rip. If you haven't been its worth it but took me 5-6 times to realize you spend $10 to pay the same prices you would at most LGS and usually walk out with some ammo just so you don't leave empty handed......

I agree 100%

I gotta tell ya. I wasn't disappointed at all. I picked up large and small pistol primers for $34.50/5000. That's as cheap as I've paid for them in the year I've been reloading. Grabbed 3 30 rd AK mags for $10 ea. Saw plenty of good gun deals, not so much with ARs. Then again I quit looking b/c there was so many of them. Cheap shotguns....attested to by the fact that every other man or woman I passed while entering, was leaving with a shotgun. Plenty of plenty of milsurps, lots of M1s and stuff. All in all, I enjoyed it. Ended up walking around for almost 3 1/2 hrs.

And no damn beef jerky!!!!!
