Vert- I must have missed you by a bit. I was there from probably 11:15 to 12:30 ish. Made several loops, and didn't sell my SKS. Had one guy ask about "What's the AR you got there" in reference to my Yugo SKS in a Tapco Stock. I guess the but stock is the same as most AR15 carbines.
Saw some very nice revolvers and other handguns there, but man were they proud of them. I price checked the vendors selling SKS's to see if I could snipe a buyer or two away that was thinking about one. All the vendors wantd well north of $300 for their SKS's, and one guy had one with a $650 price tag on it! It was a very nice Norinco with a $20 Leapers reciever cover scope and mount combo on it. I was so tempted to go ask what was so special about it to make it a $650 SKS. I heard the guy talking to one buyer though say "I'm not an actual dealer, just a private dealer. So you don't have to pay tax, go through a background check, or any of that."
I hate to say it but it is guys like that that give ammo to the anti-gun community. What he said was factual, but the way he said it was almost wreckless in that I don't think he'd even take the basic steps to ensure someone was elligible to purchase the weapon.
All in all, there were a lot of people at the show, and some very nice guns on display. i'd recomend going and say it was worth the recently raised $6 entry fee.
I cruised around there today...haven't been to a show in a good 5 years!
It was rather refreshing just walking around and browsing.
I didn't buy anything, but did enjoy seeing a Springfield M1a...I've never seen one before in person. The walnut stock was gorgeous...something about American hardwood stocks is great!
I stopped by Acme on my way home....left with a G19.
