Rude people that think they know more about everything than you, who look at you funny when you ask about parts by name. Whats sad is its not going to change, because people keep buying it.
The only show thats worth a damn, thats even close to here is the "Dixie Classic" in Raliegh, but the 2 hour drive, traffic, parking, BS, admission and price of gas, I'd just as soon order online and buy more rounds.
I completely agree, though I haven't been to the shows actually in J-Ville, I've gone to the one in New Bern, and they're more than likely the same vendors... I don't think I saw one piece of gear that wasn't a knock-off... RRA and DPMS baseline models for 1000+... Very disappointing... Only things I walked out of there with were some ammo, an M&P knife i got for pretty cheap, and a headache.
Oh... I can't forget about the bulk pack .22lr 'bargains', too... 500rnds for 40 bucks is apparently a great deal now... Smh...
