What to expect to see at the Eastman's gunshow this weekend

[Constitution Hour]

Well I went to the last one in Marietta and there was not much of a line at all. The first time I have been able to park in the first row near the front entrance. Maybe the other shows are bigger and draw more of a crowd?
Went to the last one at the Atlanta Expo Center,there was a line but not bad,nothing like it was a couple of months ago.

The only one who makes money at the Eastman Gun Show is Eastman at $8 per person.

I will not go anymore. A guy there sold me a scope I had nothing but issues and after a year of messin around, factory told him to give me money back and they would cover his product. He still has my product and money.

I believe it is now $10.

For some reason, I prefer the RK shows. If I buy a firearm or ammo at an Eastman show, I always have a deep pit in my stomach of having been ripped off. Don't feel that way when I hit the RK show.

But, both shows have pretty good deals on gear and knives it you do some searching.

Isn't there an RK show at the Cobb Civic center this weekend as well? The place that only Eastman himself thinks can put on a gun show...

If you are asking what you will see....high prices and big crowds.

.22lr 555 bulk pack - anywhere from $80.00 to $100.00. Glock standard capacity magazines $39.99 for the 10 rounders, and $59.99 for 17 round capacity. Didn't bother picking anything up today. Mainly went for a custom leather holster, but the vendor wasn't even there. Complete waste of my time. Won't be going back for a while.

Hadn't been to an Eastman show in 8 years. Now i remember why. Went with a buddy who was just dying to go. Parked right in front, no line. However, I won't be back. Nothing but a bunch of crooks. I typically look for oddball firearms and items that aren't currently "in vogue".

What a ripoff. I guess some of those guys with their $7000 shotguns (worth $900-1500 max) are just feeding their egos with the fancy displays. I couldn't even find a deal on an old project revolver in the place. Too many tables filled with T-shirts, zombie targets, overpriced AR parts, and $100 bricks of CCI Blazer .22s. Once GA Arms sold out of 9mm ammo, the crowd pretty much left...

Touched base with a few individuals who brought firearms to sell or trade, but couldn't find anything interesting or at a reasonable price.
