Tipton Gun Show

[BGDave]

Here we go again.
9-30 9am to 5pm
10-1 9am to 3pm

I've really cut back on my gun shows this year.
Can't pass this one up. Not looking to add to my addiction.
I always see something interesting there.

Gun trader shows $5 admission. And as always, I pay to get in like everyone else.

Tipton is always a good show. Out of town until tomorrow, but may try to get up there after lunch when I get back in town.

Went about 11 or so. Seeing a few tables with Dillon stuff, die sets, swage tools, tool heads for 550 and SD, a complete 450 press. ($400) Not on one table but spread out.

Looks like Dan Wesson revolvers have settled in at $600ish. Saw more than a few Garands (all well over 1K.)
As usual a pretty nice mix .

Guy right inside the door had a complete Colt 20 inch A2 upper for $500 asking. I wish I had checked to see if it was HBAR or Govt profile.
I should have looked closer at the 03-A3 in the side room for $800 OBO barrel marked 1944.

Most importantly I found my last grail gun.
Dan Wesson in .22. Very good shape.

Should be there tomorrow with my uncle. See if maybe I can't unload my AK.

Show was ok at best. Maybe all the good deals got scooped up yesterday. I think 70% of the show was antique guns that no one younger than my grandfather would ever buy. About everything was above gunbroker prices. Even saw a few new plain glocks @799. Looks like WASR's are going for 1499 at gun shows now. Tons and tons of knock off knives. I'm pretty sure one of the knife deals there was not actually aware that he was selling knockoff spyderco's.

I laughed at that 450 for $400.00
It didnt even have any upgrades at all.


Talked to the man with the two Dillon swedgers for awhile, and the lady thats always in the back room when you turn left when walking in the door.
She sometimes has some hard to find dies for cheap.
I picked up a 450-550 conversion, a box of 200 Burger 17 cal 30 grainers for $30 bucks and a bag of LC match brass for $12 bucks..

 

[Hookeye]

Some good buys were there. But not ordinary stuff.
Was decent window shopping IMHO.

 

[Angrysauce]

I traded some EG AKM mags I got cheap for a Molot 45rd RPK74. I had a good time. Not any stellar AK deals, but historically they have been good on INGO.
