Stupid Guns Show Quotes

[Shootin 4 Fun]

I'll be attending looking stuff for my new rock river M4. (first one). So I shouldn't look for ammo?

Better deals can be had her on OSA and dozens of sites on the interwebz.

At times, some of the stupid utterings (from both sides of the tables) are the most entertaining things at the show.

Yeah. I saw two wannabee gangbangers go up to one table and ask where "dem long clips for Glocks wuz".

 

[CAR-AR-M16]

Went to the Lawton Gun show today. Waste of time. Maybe everyone is getting ready for the Wanamacher in two weeks.

Anyway, as I'm looking at tables I decide to pick something up. Guy has a semi Uzi (Century Arms I think) with a 16" barrel. He goes on to tell me (unsolicited) that he builds 'em. Yep, you can't import them anymore, but he can get all the Israeli parts and put them together.
Fine.
Couldn't bring myself to tell him that the same gun was being sold everywhere else by people that didn't build them.
So, since he builds Uzis, I as him if he has any .45 barrels or bolts.
He just looks at me kinda stunned and says "no, I just build Uzis to be Uzis"
OK, one last shot.
How much is it?
$1200.00
Damn.

Then I wander on down to another set of tables.
They have some DPMS LPKs for $49.00.
Figure I don't want the entire show to be a loss.
I ask the guy for one of them and then ask if they have any LPKs for the M16.
Guy calls his dad over, dad looks thru the cases and brings me the LPK for the AR15 (which I wanted anyway).
He says, here you go.
OK. But do you have any for the M16?
This is the same thing.
No it isn't.
Yes it is, except for the trigger group it is the same thing. I used to be a gunsmith out at Fort Sill.
OK, then you know that the hammer, disconnector, selector and trigger are very different between the AR15 and the M16.
Yeah, a little. But if you want those parts for an M16, the only way to get them is to go through a background check.
HUH?

I don't know.

In the words of Bill Engvall, "I hate stupid people".

I should have worn my "Stamp Collector" tshirt, but I think it would have been lost on these guys.

Makes me glad I did not go.

If you are looking for some spare M16 FCG parts and want actual Colt parts go to Brownells or Specialized Armament Warehouse, but be prepared for sticker shock.

How do you tell wannabees from real bangers? (Not trying to break your chops--it's a serious question.) CB

Well Im looking for a grip to put on the front and anything else that y'all might think I might need. (rock river M4)

Gun shows are full of dummies.

I'm so glad I didn't go now; I was beating myself up for not going, but I heard it was 12 dollars to get in and maybe it was on Saturday, but I refuse to pay to go where they want you to buy something. I have plenty of money, but it's the principle of the thing to me. If those selling something would have paid for their space themselves, their was a good chance they could have made a good sales off of me as I am in the gun-buying mode right now.

I'm sure it's been said and I'm glad I wasn't there to hear it..."it's ok, it's not loaded"
