Watchya Got at the Gunshow?
« on: March 16, 2013, 01:42:18 PM »
Got there at about 9:30 and was dismayed at the line waiting for me when I got there.  My guess was that there were  3 to 4 hundred in line....and that was just to buy tickets for the show! Things turned out rather surprising however and I found myself oogling over the goods inside by 10:10.

I picked up several hundred rounds of .38 special, a couple of bore brushes and resisted the urge to pick up one of three Swiss K31s that I saw selling for $400 - $500. Also joined HDF.  I liked this show better than the last.

Went looking for a M1 Garand, Mosen Nagant, or an AK. Found nothing priced within reason. Did buy a bunch of .308 brass to reload and found a buyer for my 6.8SPC AR-15 though.

Picked up a nice pair of used 7x50 binoculars for a good price (secret).

New one point bungee sling for $25.

Resisted the urge to get the Swiss K31 in the front also. :)


I think, therefore I am armed.

Got lots of .22 ammo for a good price, 1911 mags and other odds and ends.

I missed out on a Bushnell TRS25 by like 10 seconds! Ugh, oh well.

I actually thought this show was pretty decent all things considered!

nothing except a target frame and a USGI mag that looked barely used for 10 bucks.

i just went to browse for a bit, though i found a really nice looking TZ-75 that i would have loved to make mine.

and the K31ʻs they have always tempt me.

Bought a Sig 1911-22 (22LR) new!  $40 less than I saw at a competitor's shop yesterday.  Let the permitting process begin!   :'(

Also got 3 new, never issued 50 Cal ammo cans.  I'm an optimist!

Picked up a couple of black powder revolvers.   Bought the first one, which is a Robert E Lee commemorative revolver and realized that more likely than not, I'd never be able to bring myself to shoot it (it's just too beautiful).  So I picked up a good black powder shooter.   Nice to actually be able to buy the hand gun and just walk out the door with it (and no registration!)

I cleared out one seller and bought from 2 other sellers too for a total of about 500 brass. It was going fast from what I saw. Made a trip to WGS for components and they are near cleared out of primers and .308 bullets, its not a easy time for reloaders.

I totally did not put two and two together till  I read this ;).  I guess that's what I get for not silencing my phone hoping for some good bail to come through the night before the gun show lol.

Got a few 7.62X39, .22LR and 00 buck, a CRES surgical pan, couple of Hawaiian flag patches and some ground walnut for tumbling.
No luck in finding a used 60mm spotting scope or Forster trimmer or any SP primers (part of my wish list).
Other than the line to get in, was one of the better shows.  Didn't see any protesters.
