Attention New Members and those new registering!
We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

There wasn't much to see... that was affordable or priced right.

Saw an old bayonet w/ scabbard for 20. It was a Turk, but I haven't a Turk rifle for it so pass. Saw a WW2 Puma dress bayonet for 125... thought about it for a bit but pass.

Primers were way up in price. $40/1000. Most IMR powders were 30+ per pound.

Thought of Doc when I saw a vintage Marlin Microvue 4X scope, but it was too beat up for $45. A seller had a few old Weavers, but they were the common types.

But I had a good visit with Keith Reed. He used to post here & on gunboards but has largely given up on internet forums, he says. I've corresponded with him for a long time & he was in town on biz so I went over & we had a great visit.

You'd like him, Ellie! ;) Has residences in Ala & Montana - has TWO big Indian bikes - a 2014 & 2015 ( one for each residence) - a metric short ton o' guns... And single! Just kidding. :bigrin: :lol He was dealing for a Class III belt fed when I left.

Came home for a long nap. Now to decide if I want to watch the stupor bowl... I'm just not much on televised sports. Wifey went over to older daughter's for stupor bowl & snacks.

I better make some grub for the work cooler before I get into TV.

Overall: a bad gun show is better than no gun show. I'll go back next time. SW

The last gun show I went to was in Puyallup in 1994. I don't have access to decent shows up here in the Arrowhead Region!

Not much around here, either. This is only the 2nd show for me since the one in Belgium. SW
