Not much to see. A nice K-11 Schmidt Rubin for 300. The same 2 Czech 7.62x45 rifles as were there last year. Both marked down to $250 apiece. Good bores. A Dutch Beaumont-Vitali for $300 - it would be a good shooter. A Finn M91/30 = 1942 Izhevsk and what a mutt! Arf! Priced @ $179 which was about $100 too much.

Saw a couple plastic Rem 22s. Both 10-C one for 280 & the other over 400! :-o I'm sure I'm not the only guy here who has turned them down @ 50 busks. Dutch flint grinder - not sure if it's military - over 800.

There was ONE really nice military rifle & I'm going back over in the AM to get it. More on that one later.

As usual, everything was way too high. Got an ambi holster for my CCW gat @ 14. Same model sells on gunbroker for 22. Scored a 500 box o' 95 grain 380 boolets. Time to get bored loading 380s on a single stage press. :?

Looked briefly at Remchesters - very briefly. Nuttin that caught my eye. Looked @ used pistolas - saw a P-38 for 450. A couple used 500 S&Ws - no doubt traded in after whoever bought them discovered the meaning of recoil - and ammo cost! Close to a grand apiece. Lots o' stuff on sale - just nuttin I was interested in. SW

When I stopped in to the Rapid Cabela's they had more military than I had ever seen at a Cabela's but I thought they were over priced. The one in Dundee has very few milsurp.

the one in this neck of the woods has some , few are very nice , all are overpriced and they think there are people out there fighting over the oprtunity to grab them up if i dont want to pay the price ,

most of the sales staff just call them 'old military' with no clue what they are or they have some fantastic SPRINGFIELD masterpiece that is factory fresh except for a few days shooting on iwa jima ,

it turns me off but i keep hoping to find that hidden diamond ;)
