    I'll lead with I've never been to a gunshow before. I missed the Howard county one the other weekend. I am not in a position right now to buy the few "next things" I am wanting to buy/look for, which is why I am not actively canvassing to see if anyone has one to sell.

    So that said, I am curious on which show(s) might be best to find the following and do you guys tend to see this stuff a lot of is it rare at shows around here and are the prices usually pretty reasonable (again, I have never been to a show, sorry this sounds naive).

    1) single shot break action 20ga shotgun. Specifically an H&R, but I'd be fine with any. Reasonable price to me seems south of $130 used
    2) Mosin Nagants in probably shootable shape, not sure what pricing on them seems to be these days (I've heard anything from $80-160), maybe an M44 but a 91/30 is okay
    3) SKS

    I have to wait at least a few months before I can really be in the market for any of those, but I figured getting an idea of how much searching I should be preparing myself for would be a good idea

    Keep eye on classifieds and arms list You will not likely see a Mosin south of $150 now a days . Any videos or posts mentioning a Mosin that is $100 is out of date. Local gun shows will have what you are looking for but so will an IP Post what you are looking for in the IP section. Sometimes someone may send you a PM if they have what you need but did not have it listed.

    And post your location

    If you're interested in checking out the best gun show within reasonable driving distance, check out www.thenationsgunshow.com. is going on this weekend, & six more times in 2016 including in April, June, July, Sept/Oct, November, & December. I was there yesterday & there are many people selling items like you're looking for, though I wasn't checking prices.
