Been going to a few gun shows
And auctions yard sales etc. Have bought quite a bit of powder primers etc. Also in the last 3 weeks or so, more than fifteen guns. At the last auction I got a little rifle I have been wanting to buy for quite a while. Remington 552 semi auto. Blasted prices have really gone to the moon lately. I had to pay 200 bucks for it. It did have a Simmons 3-9x40 on it. Shoots good though. Also got a little S&W 63 22 revolver. 4 inch. Shoots better'n me. Had to pay 400 for it but that was a very fair price.

I have not been to any gun shows in over a year now. There was a huge one at the Miami Fairgrounds last weekend, and I had no desire to drive across town to attend.

I did a show last weekend in Billings. Sales were terrible. I did buy a couple of new handguns. New in box Walther PPK in 22 and a new unfired Roger Blackhawk 41 mag. Wish I had the box. Paid 350 for the Ruger. short bbl. The short bbld handguns sell well here. I did sell about 80 labs of powder however. Another show locally this weekend. maybe I can find something I really want.... sell some I really don't need.

I have done a few shows since April, bought a couple of guns, sold a couple and built several. Started my shop building at the farm. Got a mid 70s R1 Bridgeport with a wheel to adjust the speed and a 48 inch motorized table plus a surface grinder, with a lathe the metal part will just about be done, the wood shop needs a belt driven cast iron top table saw and it will be tooled up. The vault is 8x16 and I need a door for it to be built like I want. The reloading room will be big enough to setup my 6 presses, now i only have 4 setup. I will build my cabinets and shelving. I will also install a big air compressor with a whole building PVC air delivery piping setup. But my real dream item is coming, a barred window facing down my 200 meter rifle range right off the end of the reloading bench. I am just waiting on a second bid.
I built two 1911s for a couple of our operators. I have not heard from one in over a month. Hope he is not in the dark continent. Oh, I ran into a guy, retired truck driver, that was buying AA powder back when it was dollars a pound. He was picking it up and storing it in his basement. Bought an 8 pounder of 1680 for $100. Was the only powder he had that I was using. Perhaps I will see him again in Oct. Ed
