How is the mud (or lack thereof)? Heading down in the AM.

the show area and the upper lot are fine.
not sure about the lower lot

Just got back a few minutes ago. This was my first time and I will definitely be back! Didn't buy a whole lot at the show, but did pick up some Lake City 7.62x51, a couple of 50 cal ammo cans and a t-shirt. After leaving we stopped in at Falls City and had a nice visit with Rick and got to meet johntheplinker. Picked up a neat Turkish Mauser short rifle from Rick too. While we were at the shop, the Blue Angels were flying maneuvers overhead, practicing (I assume) for Thunder over Louisville tomorrow. So let's see... got to see a bunch of cool old guns, watch a bunch of people shoot machine guns, hang out at one of my favorite gun shops and watch the Blue Angels. Doesn't get much better than that!

Now aren't you glad I didn't buy that Turk last weekend.

What was the going rate for 1000 rounds of ak ammos?

Nice meeting you! And you're right, it doesn't get any much better!

Oh, and your Canadian accent is barely noticable!

It was my understanding that Rick pulled some strings with the Navy and got a Private Show over his shop today.. At first I found it hard to believe One guy has that much pull, but you know Falls City Firearms has some unreal connections So I would not be surprised...

Great day for any gun lover! Spent 4 1/2 hours there, got there at 7:30am. Picked up some Vietnam era AR goodies I have been wanting, and some patches. Also stopped by Rick's after the shoot, and met Jontheplinker as well. And saw Cabela's for the firsr time. Awesome day!!!!

Thanks! I've been working on the accent...

It was very nice of Rick to arrange that for us Canadian emissaries!

I am glad! Thanks for leaving it there for me. Most of the 7.62x39 I saw seemed to be in the $220 - 240-ish range for 1000 rounds.

Nice meeting you! Also good to be able to put a face to a name.

-The crowd seemed to be a bit light for a typical KCR MG shoot
-23 cents a pop for 7.62x39
-30 cents a pop for 9mm
-28-35 cents a pop for 5.56
-Small pistol and small rifle primers for $160
-All the powder was gone by the time I got there
-The vendor barn was expanded and is now connected to the range house
-James Yeager and Co were there

I hadn't been since Fall of '12. Like someone said, I thought attendance seemed light. They built onto the shop but the new room was empty. It was however air conditioned which was nice because it got a little warm. There was a nice tribute to "Sarge" and the explosion during the Star Spangled Banner before the first round of the night shoot caught me off guard. Overall a decent day.

Was there Friday, some deals were there, some not.

Powder was there on Friday but to be honest, it looked like stuff they pulled out of 15 year storage. I know the place gets dusty with the gravel, but the powder bottles looked like storage dust and the labels were old school too.

Weather was beautiful, glad I missed Yeager. I'm sure they had all those damn guntucky cameras on him.

Loved the way they redid the bridge and hill

Only thing I bought in the show was a AK PMAG, first time I had seen them

That explosion before the Friday morning shoot got my attention too! We were right next to the fence and you could feel the heat wave from it.

Whew!!! We must have been just feet from you, a little closer to the flag pole. From the number of "colorful metaphors" mumbled around us, I would say like me, didn't see that coming from that close. Very enjoyable 5 hrs. Bought a few smalls and a 40 rd. AK mag nothing big, but well worth the admission fee and will go again (as per weather dictates)

Yea man!! We were against the fence in front of the flag pole, whew! Anybody else enjoy watching the gattling gun, black powder and cool! I heard Hickok45 was there Saturday also but IDK for sure. I thought it was light Friday until we were leaving, it was a great day!

 

[Lammchop93]

Either Fort Knox was having a party with tanks, or Knob Creek was having a good time, because I woke up to some loud explosions this morning in Elizabeth Indiana. Heard quite a bit last night too before all the Thunder fireworks.

We were between the outside exit to the cafeteria and the entrance to the area where most of the ammo tents were. I'd really like to make a night shoot. May have to plan a little camping trip for the fall event!
