[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 1761814, member: 9374"] Sounds good... lots of AR parts for me, too. All I could find in LPKs was DPMS for $67, everyone else was sold out. And coming home looking online, like on CTD, etc., seems everyone is out, except DPMS. :( Open for suggestions for [B]quality[/B] LPKs and BCGs. Probably going with something like YHM uppers. And need barrels, too. 4 16" and 1 20". I saw one table with 2 RRA $250 and 2 DTI? DMPS? @ $170ish barrels. One other table with 5 or so no-name barrels for $89 I think... got a bunch of quad-rails, a free-float rifle handguard from DPMS (nice piece for $50 total). Got some VFGs, coupla quad-rail gas blocks. Need a LP one for my 20" build. As far as handguns, I was mainly looking for a 4" 1911-style, like a Springfield or Para. Saw 1 or 2 Springfields which I didn't think were great buys, didn't see a single Para Ord all damn day! Coupla decent Colts (of course vastly overpriced at $1300 pretty well bone stock), and a number of Kimbers, which I've never understood why the command the price they do. One guy was pretty decent, had a 5" Kimber, a little worn from IPSA shooting, for $800. I considered that, but really didn't want the 5", looking for Commander-size. Bought a couple of generic black telescoping AR stock kits from him for $45 ea, complete. Was gonna buy 5, but the rest were OD or DT. Bought 10 30-round plain PMAGs... $140 tax and all. Not bad. Only saw one place with extra mags for my Taurus PT145, and I think they were $35 ea.... no thx. <edit> I, too, came home with the vast majority of the money I left home with. Wife was shocked, but hell, I just didn't see what I was hoping for, and when I did, the dealers were too high, indifferent or just absent. I did meet one manufacturer? who was new to me, and seemed nice and pretty reasonable. They are out of Minnesota, logo is an X... lemme see if I can find their card. Eh, can't find it. He said the only thing they didn't manufacture was their uppers, they did all the rest, quadrails, etc. I know you have to take some of that "custom" stuff with a grain of salt. i.e., Rijas, lol.
