Well this show is finally over Wow what a long weekend. Sold a bunch of stuff..17 bullet moulds 70,000 primers and a bunch of reloading stuff. Got rid of a few safe queens and some guns that just came in on trades. Bought a few too..Finally found the Ruger New Model Flattop 44 Special in 4 5/8 inch.. Had a fellow stop by the table to get some primers and he had a gun I just had to buy. It was an old Remington Model 8 semi auto in 35 Rem. Made if i got the codes right 1922. In really nice condition with about 85% blue stock is nice.. Probably paid more than I shoulda but Just like Adam and the Military collectors on here....nostalgia weighs heavily in what we all buy. I finally got to get around the show and the prices of Garands were really up there..not like the prices Adam quoted..but not all that far down the ladder either. Guy had a DCM M 1-D?? Sniper I guess..and the price was really high..Even had the DCM papers..I really don't recollect the price but it was higher teens. I do know he left with it..Not many Springfields Saw a couple of Krags and 2 military marked 1895 Winchesters..wow on them.. There are a lot of 30-40 95s. Saw a bunch of Savage 99s and they bring up there prices.. Smith and Wesson revolvers of the older vintages are going sky high too. Had a fellow try to sell me a Pre war M-70 06 for 800 bucks with very little finish..very low 4 digit serial..not worth the asking price inmy opinion. One item I maybe should have bought was a Browning A5 slug bbl for 140 bucks...nah it was a Browning..Oh and had a fellow offer me 316 Sets of New Bair dies..and a couple of Bair H presses as a package deal for 3200 bucks. Lot of money to put out now..so I passed. People are still hurting for money or so it seems. There is a feeling of doom and gloom regarding the upcoming election..Hopefully we will luck out sonme way.. Not more shows for a while..The fellow I went to the gun show with had to leave for Michigan as his wife's aunt died..So I have all of his stuff to unload in the morning..Gun shows are a lot of work
