    Stock with butt plate, trigger spring, and main spring for the Stevens 1894 I'm trying to restore.
    Huge unexpected score for me.
    Nothing made in the last 100 years, though.

    I landed a 440 round spam can of 7.62x54 for $109 and also a 1939 WWII German Luger. To me it was dirt cheap at $900. I saw a couple of others but the seller wanted $2600. A little out of my range.

    The Luger will go great with my K98 Mauser, M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, and Mosin . Plan to hit Highsmith Guns in Greenfield tomorrow and put the Luger through a few paces.


    Nice find Fester! I too enjoy Highsmith's. Introduced my bud to Mark & Cheryl at their table & BS'd for a few.
    As for my purchases... Vendor had Chip McCormick 1911 mags (8 round) priced @ $22/per. Bought 3 & talked him into an even $60! Also got another 3 (Colt-knock off) magazines for $20. Next was a USMC assault daypack in woodland digital camo. Overall, a decent day!!:D

    Reloading gear and components for me. I was pleasantly surprised at the availability and pricing of powder, primers and cast bullets.

    i even found some titegroup and trail boss.

    22 prices are going down but wow.... whip out the lube if you want a brick there. OUCH!

    There was someone asking 200 bucks for a brick at the Orlando show in Florida. 39.99 won't knock you dead at least. Most were around $50 and some were at 75 (the mini mags).

    Hopefully the bottom will fall out of .22 prices from overproduction when things get caught up. Flippers stuck with like 50k rounds that they never intended to shoot.

    That's not work man! You didn't even break a sweat finding that deal, he was sitting right next to you! He probably bugged you half of Friday and all morning today to buy them!

    :laugh::laugh::laugh:

    I didn't bug him, just let him know they were available, lol. He paid me earlier in the day, so I finally bagged them up for him around 5PM....lol.

    1 .22 nylon brush and jag
    1 .45 nylon brush and jag


    Fondled everything under the sun except for what I came to buy. Had money burning a hole in my pocket, but could not find a cz 97b or a sig p227.


    I did see a cz75bd polycoat for $499, a lcp for $275, a s&w m&p w/ the extended slide for $550, Springfield xdm full size stainless for $560, and some other nice deals that I considered. But I ended up with nothing. Decided to hold out for a cz 97b...

    Just got back home. Picked up a new INGO shirt, a couple of M1 carbine mags and a 16" round steel target from Bobcat. :) Got there at 8:15 and I was 5th in line. I expected it to be a lot busier!
