I'll be there, but my Father's Day money just disappeared into a new motorcycle battery and charger. Bummed I won't be able to take home any of Brad's toys.

 

[jbrooks19]

Anyone know if some one there will have reloading supplies and maybe some .40 dies?

Would have been cool, but I'll be there before they open.........hangin' with pops for the day. Swing by and give him/us some grief

Plan on being there Saturday morning with a Jennings J-22 Pistol and a Russian M38 Carbine for sale or trade. Just got back in the door from Florida.

That was a nice little show. There were more used guns at this show than there was at the March 1500. I saw some nice looking imports from South Africa and some neat Czech guns. Of course there were the idiots selling Mosin's for +$200 (maybe it was something special, I'm no Mosin expert). The ammo, at least the 22, was over priced, but I wasn't shopping anyway so I didn't really care. I got to handle an Italian Beretta 92 Compact, an apparently rare and smaller version of the 92FS. It felt REALLY good, with less weight and a more manageable grip. I am fond of the 92FS, but this comact was killer.

I got to meet Brad and play with the Kershaw, CRKT, and SOG blades I was interested in. No purchase, but it was awesome to get a feel for each brand.

My favorite part of the show though had to be the lady walking down every row of guns. She picked up every gun, and dry-fired each one three times. It was a constant SNAP SNAP SNAP ... SNAP SNAP SNAP, on and on. I wanted to have her kicked out, but it wasn't be deal, so I walked on. DEFINITELY worth the $5.

Now I need to figure out how to point a gun at a gun show without sweeping the world. It's tough.

Yes, there indeed was a table under all of his junk

IMHO the show before was much better.

Less dealers, slower crowd..........some deals might be had tomorrow, dunno.

What's a great show for one person is a junker for the next guy. Summer seems to swing them to extremes too. But ya just never know.

I thought about snagging the .22rf TC Contender Carbine bbl I saw, but I was a good boy and am holding true to original plan of holding out for a match bbl in shorter length.

Pretty decent show. Picked up a Gerber Prodigy from Brad's Knives. Helped a co-worker decide which .22 pistol to purchase. Was able to sell my rifle. Started a little slow, but by noon, the place had a nice crowd. Still plenty of room to walk the show and see the wares.
