Raleigh Dixie Gun Show 8/4-5

Just cruised the aisles and in the lunchroom. About to go buy the ammo I came for and try and get out without spending any more money. Wish me luck.
 
Hit the show about 11:30 ... just in time to hear the PA announcement that a dealer had a Winchester 1300 stolen :( Looked for but didnt see any CFF hats or badges, but it was crowded and gave up looking after I almost ran into one of those roof support beams.

Bought nothing. It was interesting seeing the folks showing up for the Japan expo next door in the other building

I was walking out the door when they announced the stolen Winchester, and I hope they caught the thief. I did buy a stripped lower, and some 7.65x53 ammo. Only CFF member I saw was BravoDelta.

I didn't see any CFF swag, wandered through the lunchroom @12:15 & I was looking for your shirt.
I got there @ 10 min before the stolen Win 1300 announcement. Bad move, a building of people hunting for them.

I found another deal, had to spend some money. That's two shows in a row now I've found something on my list that was even cheaper than on-line pricing. Makes it hard to pass those up... so I didn't. :)

Oh, and instead of jerky samples, one guy was handing out corbon ammo samples.

Anyone know if the ear plug people will be there on friday?

She was there. I asked and she said she only does the Raleigh shows. Maybe there'll be somebody doing it at the GSO show?

I walked past just as she was about to pull out the plugs on some skinny kid that looked about 16 yrs old and wondered what would come out with the plugs...and then hurried on my way as that image came to mind.

Between the ears?

Probably nothing. ;)
 
I was there 0900-1200 with my CFF tag on. Did not see anyone else, but heard announcements for someone who lost a firearm :eek: and someone who stole the Winchester 1300.

Was he there with the Mosin guy?
 
got a nice holster out of the MTR "junk drawer"

almost bought a hi-point for 149.00. I think it was the best deal I saw...
 
I couldn't stand the thought of walking around with my cane and hoping no one stepped on my foot.I got up friday morning and decided to turn three of my toes purple by smashing them into the edge of the tub.Hobbled around work all day and haven't done much walking since.
God's way of telling me don't go spend money at the gun show.

I picked up 5 pounds of powder, 2k of primers, and some mini shotshells. I left before 11:00.

Was $20 what you paid for the mini shells? Any idea if that's the going rate?

I bought three boxes from a guy here for $30 (total), and it came with the adapter for my 590. The shells had price tags on them of $29.99. I've yet to try the adapter or shells, but have also never looked for the ammo.
 
Was there from 2-3:30, not crowded at all, did not see any CFF bling, bought three tickets for the Ruger, scope and case raffle and a slice of pie.

Yep, $20 is about the going rate - if you can find them. I paid $19 at the previous show. You got a good deal!

If you are talking about the rubber insert for the Mossberg 500 shotgun, that is what I have and it works very well.

Yeah, the little wedge piece on the top box. It was a "toss in" item he included when I bought the shells, but I have a Shockwave I plan to use it in.

For road rage incidents with drivers of small British cars. ;)
