It's that time of year again for your feedback, what you found and didn't find, the prices, the food, the parking, The cool stuff and Pics...:d

Post Away!
 
Lots of good products, prices are so so, grabbed some NRA info, no Liberals, NDP, or RCMP to explain their gun policies.............................

Never seem to see any Government representation, and yeah I know it would be a tad tough for them, but regardless not showing up is just making it so obvious just how disconnected and ill advised they are in what people have to say????

Glad to see the numbers swelling for this sport for all ages. I would say their latest Pony Soldier blunders have just strengthened individuals resolve from comments made at the table. :)

Great display on the Liberal and their trained Pony Soldiers regarding 10/22 magazine decision, and how so many are now criminals, real forward thinking there boys............

Have a MG 34 complete with tripod, and German optics at my buddy's table. Compared to the 1919 it was just so more advanced.

I grabbed some reloading supplies and a few small odds and ends. Overall the firearms there was overpriced, seen a ruger precision rifle for 4K and a bushmaster acr dmr for 4K haha. It was nice to see all 3 of the gun orgs there, ccfr and cssa booth was busy but the 3rd one was not.
 
Had a blast and found some deals, met some great people as well. Only downside was $8 for a hamburger! Upside, I went for a water and they said $3.50, I was like nope, then she offered me a free cup of water, lol.
 
Seb Arms and Line Of Fire each had a Serbu BFG-50A on their tables. Pics of the one at LOF's.





Also, MilArm had the CZ Scorpion Evo 3s on desplay and available for pre-order.



And the conclusion to my day ends at Tony Roma's Red Deer.

Kenny supporters had a table there, it was one maybe only 2 non-gun tables. No beef jerky, no battery powered muscle twitchers, no jewelry, no random krap - it was so much better than the small show circuit!

Wish I woulda seen that there!
 
Probably won't attend next year after 20+ years of going....bought nothing.....prefer smaller shows .Harold
 
First timer, that line up to get in was LOOOOONNNGG. But it moved quickly!

Had a great time, brought some books but was there mostly for a good going over the tables.

Surprised but pleased to see Tradex there!
 
Went in with a list of stuff I wanted to buy, left with none of it. Why do businesses expect that people will overpay for a gun after having just paid to be let in to the show?

Ended up with a hat and a couple old boxes of .357 mag ammo, lol.
 
How was the selection on K98 Mausers, Garands, M1 Carbines, Enfield, Johnson Rifles, P08 Lugers, P38's, Walther PPK and PP, AR15's, M1A/M305, Ammo, etc and anything else I missed!...:cool:
 
That's disappointing, considering it's easier now than before to bring one in. I too am having difficulty finding decent milsurp pistols around in shows.

QUOTE=Buckmastr;13719185]Almost no milsurp pistols compared to previous years[/QUOTE]
 
Are they still giving out A.A.C.C.A. fridge magnets at the door when you pay your admission?

This would be a worthy thread in itself to post all the AACCA Fridge Magnets for every year.

Lee Enfield Restorations from Regina I think, had some very nice restored Enfields. He gets sporterized rifles and puts in new parts with new wood, very impressive. Noticed a few Garands but I was really looking for them.

Surprised to see Anthony from T.E.C. Tradex at the show, they came a long ways (Thanks for the Mug). Good way to spend an afternoon and some money.

P.S. Hey "onetwentyish" I got a magnet at the door too
