Default Lots of nerve

An older exhibitor had 2 boxes of ammo stolen off his table during set up.

Exhibitors stealing from each other ? Should be a good show.

I haven't been to a show in a few years. What are they like these days, reasonable prices, all over the place, good place to find unique items, or cheaper to buy new?

I don't mean to be cranky but every show an exhibitor loses a scope off the table or magazines from rifles. The veterans don't leave them in the guns. Western justice would be appropriate.

Great little show as usual. Cooey .22 bolts seem to be in high demand for some reason. Bought myself a muzzle loader project someone started from scratch and never finished, gonna be an interesting winter. Turn around on PAL confirmation was surprisingly short according to people I talked to, not many hand guns to be seen.

Unfortunately the government site is down again today. So unless the seller wants to take a chance or is from somewhere close so you can pick-up later. It's a looking show, not a buying one. Really feel sorry for sellers who came a long way.

Looked like they had pretty good security , if you haven't heard a rumor, start one.

I enjoyed the show as always. Walked out with a Seneca green nylon 66. Thanks for the good times.
