I just left. Lines are gone, but it is pretty packed. Plan on waiting a while if you want any ammo. Prices on that are maybe 30% more than a few months ago. I bagged that, but the people watching was good. I got a decent deal on a bunch of ammo cans.

^ that was the only reason I wanted to go, I wanted to get some 40mm ammo cans. I also was somewhat interested in an LPK.

Well I didn't make down there( baby in the hospital with RSV), but looking at the pics and a few friends that went I'm glad I wasn't stuck in that crowd. I was really looking foward to people watching. O well I will try to go to the next gun show.

I didn't notice what anything other than ARs were going for. ARs were priced anywhere from $1200 on up to over $4K, so from reasonable to ridiculous. The ammo I could see was also ridiculous. They had the same box of Federal .223 that I bought at Cabellas two nights ago for $14.95 a box (which I thought was pricey) going for $28.95 a box. They had lots of pmags (for $50+) if you're desperate. If you haven't already gone, my opinion is don't waste your time and money going.

That's what I noticed, over priced ammo an some decent to crazy priced guns. I didn't even try to wait in line to get ammo, tons of people waiting for that. Was cool to see some of the big guns.

They had 20,000 walk thru the door in the first two hours. I've never seen a line like that ever in Utah for anything. People were selling basic ARs worth $800 for as high as $2,200. Our own kind are gouching the hell out of prices. The manufactures haven't raised their prices at all. They sold 250k worth of 2.23 in the 1st hr.

Put that in a different perspective. 223 was going for $169.00 for 500 rounds which means they sold over 763,000 rounds. That equates to a basic combat load for 7 light infantry battalions. That's some serious firepower.

Which numbers? Ammo sold I personally knew two folks working there. Infantry numbers when you do 21 years active duty Army as a First Sergeant you tend to know these kind of things

I was curious about the amount of ammo sold.
Sounds good to me, I just hadn't read anything of the sort.
Thanks
