I really only have one item to sell. A RR flattop upper with a DPMS heavy barrel on it and a compensator attached to the barrel.

I'll hang out with you in case you need to run to the bathroom, get food, etc., if you let me put it on the table!!

Deal.

Hey, IGN, check up towards the top of the thread.  There's a link there to the Calendar and it shows the date.   ;)

It's getting close to that time to decide if I need one or two tables.  If you have something you want to sell at the show let me know.  My cut is pretty low.  ;)  Last time Spiif, IGN, and I had two tables and did pretty well.

I'm pretty much cleaned out of stuff to sell but I'd be happy to hang out at the table if someone needs a break.

I was thinking around $300, it has a floating handgaurd, a Benny Cooley compensator, but no bolt or carrier, just the reciever, barrel, comp and handguard. And it's got a YHM railed FSB, but no front site on it. The barrel is a DPMS 1:9 heavy barrel.

Well, I haven't been trampled with people wanting to put something on the table.  So, I just got one and think it's going to be pretty full.  I probably don't need anyone to help baby sit the table but should have one extra vendor pass.  Spiff, if you still have the upper and want to sit around let me know.

My table is on the back wall on the left side (as you walk in).  My table is packed!  Here's hoping that I sell a bunch of the stuff.

there's like two places selling it, at almost twice the price of our last group buy.  And forget about getting bullets for reloading.  Unless you are looking for AK ammo or M1 Garand, I didn't see much.  Did pick up a few boxes of 357 sig for $10/50, but I only left them 2 boxes

Seemed like a pretty decent show from where I sat.  ;)

Kermit was there but I heard his shipment of lowers didn't make it in time.  I'm sure you could pick one up in Emmet when they come in.  You could have asked.

BTW, I still have my ACE M4 SOCOM stock.  It was fondled by many people today.  It probably won't last through tomorrow.  ;)
