I personally wouldn't go. They're just going to try and take advantage of the panic and they have to pay for the booth. You may find something at retail, but a 'steal' won't be had unless it's the 5 finger kind.

ODT Gun Show this Saturday! - Click here for info and tickets!
Will the Gun Show in Atlanta this weekend be worth going to?
- Thread starter JRS58
- Start date
Better off buying on the ODT! Guns shows ain't what the use to be 20 years ago. The last few shows tht I went to where terrible. Dealers asking more for stuff than normal!?!? I think I ve been to my last one.... Just ain't the same... I find far better deals on the ODT! Good people and I can shop right here on my couch. Every deal I have made so far has been awesome...
Anybody know how much parking is?
The only thing guns shows are good for these days is seeing who is stupi...crazy enough to pay the prices. They're through the roof. All you folks be sure to contact your local, state and federal representatives pressing their support of our 2nd Amendment rights. Make certain your voice is heard!
I found a one good deal and i took it.
what'd you get?
I got there at 8:15 and the line was just past the building. By 8:45 the line was circling around the parking lot near Jonesboro road.
Yeah as expected $30+ PMAGS (5.56), DPMS AR's $1,200 and AR (forged) lowers for $400. I was looking for a lower parts kit only one vender had CMMG LPK for $120 and I passed. One guy had an ammo can full of "milspec" AR bolt/carriers for over $200 something. The staking marks looked poorly done, another pass.
There were a few deals. I saw a lot of supplies like powder, primer and bullets. I was third in line and was going to get 1K of 55 grain pull down .223 bullets for $90 but a fourth guy was taken care of before me and left only 300 bullets, so I passed on them as well.
He had new soft points (.223) for $110/1K. Lots of powder, two venders were selling around normal prices one lost his mind and had his 8lb jugs marked at over $200. Georgia arms were selling .223 FMJ's but they looked like crap. I would not shoot these if given a choice. Georgia arms had Lee dies for $38 in many common calibers.
The best part was meeting fellow ODT member Maukyn to pick up a used rifle stock from him. We hit it off and reminisced about Crosman 760/766 pneumatic rifles of our youth, the Daisy "Golden Treasure box" of BB's, Crosman copper plated BB's in the milk carton and hunting small game with them.
It was nice to walk down the row upon row of gun stuff even if a lot of it was overpriced. I did bump into James Wininger (678) 334-4142 of UK Precision, Dallas Georgia. He is a new AR frame finisher/builder. He was selling his forged AR lowers for $149.99 and they looked good to go. He machines billet lowers as well. He said he would do a logo/etching for $20. I asked twice and he said $20! They make uppers as well.

Walther p22 nib. I haggled the guy down to $350. Not the best deal, but I was fine with it.

Yes there were some nice guns, but I also noticed a few good looking women. Did you see the blonde and her friend working at the booth by the concession area?
