August 5 AM Visit
 

Got here at about 9AM. Rack of m1c and d as well as the IHC gap and a few 6 millions left. Same as reported before. Slim pickings.

Anyone at the swap meet? I think that's scheduled today?

I thought I saw 5PM start published somewhere.

Yes sir, you are correct. I just did a search and found this on the official schedule;
5:00PM-8:00PM Swap Meet Gary Anderson CMP Competition Center Parking Lot

Stopped in a few times all day and all I saw them put out were a few 6 Million SA’s. One of the guys at the store said it’s been very slim pickings and they mostly have rack grade specials coming.

The Rack Special I got a few weeks ago from the NS is fantastic. A very minor spot of pitting on the trigger assembly and that's it. Otherwise it's a gorgeous 1.4mil SA with new barrel.

Stopped by after the morning GSVMM match and racks were sparse. No specials of any flavor, 6Ms down to only a few, maybe 10 IHC gappers plus the usual snipers and Daisy rifles. I didn’t ask Bob but I’m guessing the NM shipment may be done.

This is rather sad especially since those of us who shot only in the later matches were not allowed to register when the pickings were good. I was not able to register till 2:00 PM on the last day of smallbore. No entry card, no ability to purchase. I stood by and watched everything disappear.

It seems that according to reports I've seen, the pickings were never really that good, they sold some specials and some IHC's and 6mils all at a premium price. No service or Field grades for the most part.

I registered for my match months in advance online and could have purchased anything from day one opening. Are you saying this was not an option for you for your match?

I, of course, registered online on 4/2. I should clarify, I could not pick up my packet and do the second half of the in person check in. I was of the impression that they wanted to see your score card as proof of registration for purchases. I might have been inclined to get one of the chromed rifles set out on the first days if I could have. Did I miss something about proof of registration for a match to buy a rifle or ammo?
