Yesterday's Weapons Forums

Actually not a bad show. Lots o' people there. Saw a lot of guns walking in the door = a good day to be a parking lot shark if you're into that. Not me.

Overall, prices weren't too bad. The most expensive was large caliber auto handguns and AKs. EBRs weren't that bad overall.

A few milsurps - saw 4 Enfields @ 160 each. I've no idea what model. I may have mentioned before an optomistic seller who had a 6.5 Vetterli priced at 750. It was down to 250 and the rest of his junk was also down. He really hit me with a sales pitch but I already have those - and a Dutch Beaumont - and other stuff on his rack. Saw a Dutch cav carbine @ 250 but the wooden left side magazine covering had been cut off so pass.

Lots of shotguns & coyote rifles. Cheep 22 rifles in abundance. Saw a 1907 Dreyese 32 auto missing the mag for 150. Seller said he had room but I passed. Saw a short Garand bayonet for 65 - no scabbard & I don't have a Garand so pass.

A lot of Marlins but I quit that genre several years ago. No sardine tins of ammo - no primers or powder to speak of.

Saw M1As averaging 2000. Nice but too pricey. I did see a vendor with snub S&Ws at pretty much normal prices = in the 400 range. Any 45 auto was 750+ Saw a BP revolver that had been converted to 38 S&W @ $300. But it was a brass frame so pass.

A guy I know had brass for cheep & I should have grabbed more 38 spl but I didn't. Didn't spend a penny & left. Stopped by my FFL guy to pick up a rifle & gave him the show lowdown. He's over 80 & in poor health & didn't get tables this year. I was glad I went even if I didn't buy anything. SW

....at least a good way to spend some time....I'm way overdue to go to one-been a long time since the last

sounds an entertaining outing , ive been to many without buying and enjoyed them , its just nice to get out and go looking


theres one here the 8th of dec , i will be meeting the friends there , not looking for anything particular [passively a brit brown bess flintor] but i still need to unload my 'spare' martini & bayonet so ill probably lug it along ,
