Nov, 15-16th at RIR was a blast and probably the heaviest attended show there in recent memory.
The good - scored to AR lowers - a Stag Arms and a DPMS - for the old, before panic prices. Also found a complete DPMS fire contol package at excellant price.
The bad - ammunition was flying off the shelves. Sat. I bought 500 rds of .45 ACP and Sun. I thought why not pick up another can - sorry sir we are sold out! There were only a few 50 rd packs of 9mm left and no .40 cal either.
The ugly - I've heard that Dark Sun (a local vendor) could be a little difficult from time to time but never had a personal negative experience....until Sat.
Asked if they had any AR lower units - they did but only assembled/complete, no stripped lowers. I asked if he was going to get any in and got an irritated lecture on how hard they were to get and that if he did get one he would probably costs me $400.00! "Damn" says I in disbelief. To which I was told, "Don't damn me - I'll come out there and beat your @ss!" Whaaa???? OK - Dark Sun is permanently off my list - doubt that they will miss me but I do have lots of friends at last check.
All in all a good show with plenty of interesting things to look at and touch. All of the vendors were smiling (except for Dark Sun) and seemed pleased.
The only other difficulting was getting from one side of Richmond to the other with the marathon in progress. Ended up taking 64W to Mechanicsville and coming back to RIR that way.
Yata hey
