Most of them aren't any good anymore. You might find a deal if you get there early.

Stay away from the mobile gunshows, went to one Sunday at the shrine, most prices were retail or higher, especially on ammo

From what I've found, I can go to my local gun retailers (BPW & Simmons most frequently) and find prices as good or better than that at the gun shows. And, I don't have to pay $9 or $10 to get in.

X3. B'ham used to be a good show and some deals weren't hard to find. Nowadays it's a waste of time.
The left lane is for the the purpose of moving the flow of traffic forward regardless of the speed limit. If your impeding the flow of traffic get your ass in the right lane. It's really that simple...

X3. B'ham used to be a good show and some deals weren't hard to find. Nowadays it's a waste of time. Personally, I'd say it depends on the B'ham show. There are two different groups that put them on. The Alabama Gun Collectors usually do about 3- shows a year. They are the bigger shows and have more dealers and more private folks selling. The Great Southern Gun an Knife Show LLC, shows SUCK! They are about 1/3 the size if an AGCA show, cost more to get in and have a bunch of junk tables mixed in with the gun tables.
There are two types of gun enthusiasts ... Those who have been F#CKED by PTG and those who will be!

Thanks, guys. I think I'll pass this weeknd, but may try to get to the vbc at the end of the month. I'm looking for a left handed muzzleloader (preferably fullstock flintlock) but I wouldn't turn my nose up at a sxs percussion shotgun . Used fits my budget best (unless I stumble on a steal of a deal). -GB

Big Al are you looking at new or used. New, I don't think you can beat you local shop (Larrys for me). But used, well walking the floor and looking at what people are carrying , you can get a deal. I hang out at the entrance or even the parking lot to see what individuals have to sell I look at both. And as far as used, I have also done better dealing with local shop owners than with individuals. Most individuals don't realize their used gun is a used gun. I love looking at the prices people put on FaceBook for their used guns. I admit, there are probably some good deals to be had, but they haven't come my way. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough.
