Re: Requesting info on Central FL gun shows

Only one left worth it IMO (Lakeland R/P club show). Thanks, since the next one is Sept 16-17, I was thinking of heading there that week. As it happens, my dad who's been in the Caribbean for several years finally came back to S. Florida for a job and then suddenly got laid off. :x Fortunately a co...

Excellent! Thanks, that looks like just what I'm looking for, and it's far enough away I can plan out a trip.

I'd still like to hear from others if there are any other opinions.

Requesting info on Central FL gun shows

After doing some travel for work last week I was checking over my leave balances and it looks like I'm going to be forced to take a bit over 40 hours of annual leave before the end of the year (use or lose). I'm not good at taking vacation (hence why I've accumulated so much leave) so I was thinking...

Same here. I was about to answer, "speed past a highway patrol car while showing the officer the middle finger."

Re: Gunshow find for S. FL Makarov lovers

Never understood why people want Makarovs and Mosins, other than they were cheap. Now that they aren't cheap, I have no want or need of either. There are way better guns to get at a better price than what they run for now. It's a matter of taste. I personally find a certain beauty in a simple all s...

Re: Gunshow find for S. FL Makarov lovers

Fwiw, you gentlemen down in Miami might want to keep an eye out for a Makarov made in Cuba. No "Made in Cuba" mark, only a serial number. Janes reported their existence years ago. Back in the late 90s, I was told that there were two (2) exemplars down there in Miami. How they got them out...

Re: Someone knowledgeable on the Roku

Well, the savings isn't really that great once you get started (kind of like reloading actually). It's more of a matter of not having to deal with the cable company anymore and having the ability to pick and chose a bit more. It's also great not to have to deal with a satellite dish which can get un...

Re: Gunshow find for S. FL Makarov lovers

Makarov I found three online East German Makarov 749.99, Makarov Bulgarian 658.00 and Makarov Bulgarian 599.99. Sounds about right. I guess if someone had been willing to make an offer, they might not have been too far off. I wonder if they'll still be there for the show in May. I was looking aroun...

Re: Gunshow find for S. FL Makarov lovers

Wow, that's pretty nuts price wise. Agreed, but unfortunately not too far off from the going price for the Chinese and German ones (not too sure about the other one). I was particularly surprised to see the Chinese one as those have become exceedingly rare. It's kind of funny actually, the German o...

Gunshow find for S. FL Makarov lovers

I just thought I'd drop this info in case anyone is interested. I was at the gun show in Tamiami park today and there was one table that had three Makarov pistols for sale in their used guns table. Nothing too strange about that except that the three consisted of one Bulgarian, one Chinese and one G...
