    Of all the local shows other than the 1500 I've always enjoyed this one the most.
    Seems to have a wide variety of items.
    Not sure if I'll go tomorrow or Sunday but sure to go one or the other.

    If you see a bald fatman with glasses wearing an old school tactical vest and 2 canes, I ain't him but he is a good friend. Say hi to Bret. He has rock solid gear. His wife Peggy might be attending so have compassion that a show is not her forte. I hope I have time to attend but my main K9 has DM and dragging his rear quarters and he may need put down tomorrow.

    I really want to try and make it to the October show. It seems like every time they have a show, either the weather is crappy (slick) or I have too much stuff to do at home, as was the case this time. :(

    Great show today.
    I missed out on a model 63 from a private seller. Caught up to him and he had just traded if for a model 60 and the vendor gave him on a trade what I had planned on offering.

    I saw some interesting items.
    Marlin 70p with wood stock takedown case about 7 mags. It even had the marlin barrel nut wrench that seems to fall out of the case often. He was 250 over the price I would have paid.

    Seems 10-22’s are gold.

    Anyone notice any CZ Rimfire rifles or Smith wheel guns? Any 38 Wadcutter ammo? I might go tomorrow.

    There was a real good selection of S&W wheel guns.
    Just remember to take your full wheelbarrow of cash if you expect to leave with one.
    I saw two Thompson Center TCR rifles which I had never even seen before. Back in the day I craved one of those, now I can't seem to justify buying one. Of course that doesn't mean I won't drive back up there tomorrow to buy one.

    I’m going back tomorrow with my nephew with a few things to sell. I’ll be trying to move a S&W 625 and he’ll be schlepping a Browning Gold and a couple of Taurus pistols.

    I would be surprised if the commercial reloader in the small room next to the kitchen doesent have any. He and his brother have 5-6 tables against the parking lot side wall.
    Didnt see any cz rifles that I noticed, there was a mint 50's match Annie in the main room. He is proud of it.
    I found a vintage? 1996 Lyman 50 grain .224 mold new in the box for $20.00
    That was my deal of the day.
    Quite a few of the regular sellers had smith wheels. I didnt look at prices.

    I tried to haggle with the one 243 barrel that was on one table, he wanted to much.
    Im still waffling over the octagon hornet in the side room. Maybe 90% for $200.00
