Other Sports Gun Show - Anyone Buy A Gun From A Private Party?

houstonwhodat · 03-29-2014, 10:14 AM

I'm going to the George R. Brown Gun Show this week.

This is a big show that used to be held at the Astrodome.

They have just about every gun imaginable there but often I am approached or see someone carrying a gun they brought in to trade that I want for myself.

I'd rather get it from them than pay the dealers marked up price.

Plus avoid the sales tax.

I'm looking for stock models:

Colt AR-15 w/heavy barrel
Colt Python .357 w/6" barrel blue
S&W .357 w/6" barrel blue
Beretta .380 blue
Beretta 92F 9mm

Will most like switch out the stock pistol grips with Pachmayr's.

Probably a banana clip for the AR.

Anyone have any experience dealing with private gun sellers?

How safe it is it, worried about getting burned.

It would be hard to get my money back if not satisfied.
