Actually not a bad show price-wise. Saw a few Marlins at real world pricing... but I'm out of that game now. Plenty of powder & primers - even Alliant powder. Scored # of Bullseye @ $25. Small rifle primers were same price as wally world = $42/1000. Small pistol were 32/36 busks/1000 depending on maker.

I looked for an SKS but there was only one - a Yugo @ 450. It was in good shape but pass. Old fart offered me a 43 Spanish roller with dies & brass for 600... not a bad deal but I passed on that one, too.

Found a 1931 hex receiver Mosin-nagant that looked like it came from Albania... not sure if Albania used them. It was kinda rough so I offered $100 - seller passed which suited me just fine. I looked it up & they're fairly common. Found a reblued M1 carbine for 450... thought about it but didn't have that much on me. Which was good - I would have serious buyer's remorse now if I had.

A lot more junk this year. Too many tables of junk knives - fantasy swords - quilt supplies - cheep jewelry... the jerky/sausage guy wasn't there - he usually gets a pan of sausage frying & sells pretty well.

I didn't see much $ changing hands but some trading here & there... "I'll give you two $500 cats for your $1000 dog" sort of thing. I looked for the cast bullet guy but he was a no show, too.

So I just grabbed powder & primers & called it a day. When I took little mutt out earlier this morning, I thought about going back to see what the guy felt his 1931 Izhevsk M-N was worth, but that has bad idea written all over it. He also had a Sako (S in a gear wheel) M-N with side sling bars... I don't know a lot about M-Ns, but he had 450 on it...

Nah. I better slap myself & stay home. Save my gas for turkey hunting this week.

But I saw some guys I know & had a good time - well worth going. SW

Sounds like the last shows I went to....more Chinese fantasy knives and MREs than used guns. I still want to go to a show close here sometime, as I have a 40mm can FULL of wheel weight ingots....about 500lbs worth to sell.
Turn a dollar into flintgrinder parts or cat food :kap:
