We're planning to be there first thing in the morning. Need to pick up a couple more Wilson Combat 8-round magazines.

I need to find both 8 and 7 round ones for my Kimbers. I have three now and definitely not spending enough time shooting them. :lol:

The morning is out. Going with the fiance to visit a venue for the wedding.

What are the chances they'll have any real deals? Last time I went a lot of the stuff was the same price as online. That was a big disappointment after paying $15-20 for parking and admission. At least gas isn't $4/gal anymore.

Three to four times as big (at a guess)

I think they still post 30.06 so I'm still boycotting but watch out for the marathon street closures if you go into Houston tomorrow.

My brother inlaw and i went this morning. All they had was 400 45acp brass and 700 230gr fmjs.
i bought all of it, plus 2000 primers and 3# of aa5 powder.

The prices we're high.Firearm prices we're very high, no dealing. All in all, dissapointing. :txflag:

I got a fair deal on a Charles Daly M4. Unfortunately I got there too late in the day to find one chambered in .308. The 5.56 is nice, reminiscent of my days in the service, although nicer. I need to find sights for it now. It has the flat top for scope mount.
