Post your Reliant Center deals from this weekend

#1

Post by Rugrash »

Went to the show yesterday since I'm working today. Thought I'd start by saying that I found a good deal on brand new mil-spec 30rnd AR mags w/ green followers for $12. Since I just bought a rifle recently I wasn't able to buy any firearms this weekend but there were some nice deals on M1 Garands and Winchester Model 94's.

I found a few good deals on knives, but managed to pass them by. There were some great defensive ammo prices if you didn't mind digging around for it. I found a box of 38 special 135 gr. hollow points for my 642 for 17 bucks.

Picked up a new Kimber Custom TLE II for 780. I think (hope) I got a good deal. I've been wanting one for a while. I looked at one at Carter's Country for 929.

I would have to call this one of my favorite guns....it will serve you well. Those that don't love them.......have never spent much time shooting one :grin: Even the Glock haters appreciate the 26.

ya, i have owned several glocks in the past. ive been debating over the 26 vs the 36 for a while now. this is strictly a pocket gun for me....one i will have on me no matter what. after shooting it yesterday, i have to say i am happy with it so far. for such a small framed gun, it is pretty dang accurate! converting my collection over to glock, 2 at a time, as we speak! (think it would be pretty sweet to own a compl. collection of all the newer glocks!) take care an safe shoppin!

I picked up an M1917, for $425. Also, found some knock off mags for a Sig 220 for 3 buck a piece. Also, a tin of greek 30-06 for 65 bucks for 380 rounds.

Overall, a good show. The HGCA always has the best exhibitors.

Just for clarification, you were not able to buy any guns, because no funds or some legal restrictions on weapons purchases? I know the Dem. are trying to limit us but I don't know of no other limits on gun purchases so I'm sure your just out of funds. Whew... for a moment I wass getting parinoid! Have a good one

I picked up a handle rail for my AR-15 for $20. Didn't buy anything else, which is probably good :)

I was there but just to help my cousin pick out an AR-15 (rock river arms). for $829+tax. Dealer gave him $375 credit on the trade of his Beretta M9.

I bought nothing. :lol:

It's purely a financial reason. I bought a Remington 700 LTR in .308, ARMS 22M mounts, SWFA 16x Super Sniper and a Harris Bipod. So that's about all I can get by the wife this month :-) I was eying a Kimber Tactical Pro II at the show. I need to set up a separate slush fund account.

Off topic:

Even when I lived in MD (2000 - 2005) they had a law where you could only buy one gun a month, but if you filled out one extra form you could be designated a "Collector" and buy as many as you wanted. Thankfully TX doesn't have any limits. I just came across a .pdf of MD's new AWB...so I think the DEMs are getting ready for their next big push. I need another AR upper!!!

I was there to help a friend by a pistol.
"Nice deals on some Garands"
I saw several Garands with the lowest price one being $600 for a rack grade I could order from CMP for $395 to $800 for one that the seller said shoots straight and a couple for around $2000.00 which the seller said were collector grade. Other than that I walked every row and didn't see many Garands at all. Wish I had though.
