Things weren't great during the AWB.

The Internet changed gunshows, probably forever.

I started going to gunshows just a bit before Klinton was elected. It took him a couple years to get his Kommie legislation passed.

Up until then, gunshows had some smoking deals.

I remember $3.50 barely used M-16 magazines. M-14 mags were $7.50, still in the wrap, and we thought that was expensive.

Norinco .223 in the yellow box was $2.50 per 20 round box, and about $2.00 per box if you bought a case.

I bought my first SP-1 for $675 back then and thought that was a premium price. My cousin had bought one back in the 80's for $375, NIB.

If I had known then what I know now, I would have bought tons of .223 and .308 surplus.

I guess the gun show here in lower Alabama, Baldwin County, is a little different from the ones over there in Louisiana. I found it to be quite a nice event. Had a good selection of vendors and products. Not nearly as bad as I was expecting based off of the commcents in this thread. the pricing all seemed in line with a typical LGS and a few deals here and there. Didn't find the handgun I am looking for but was able to handle a few of my "wants".

Ran across a belt fed AR style 22lr that was pretty cool will post picture later.

Overall I'd give the Robertsdale, AL gun show a B+
