Crawled the 70 miles to the Lebanon Show today. I didn't have high expectations, it being so close to the holidays, but I was still disappointed. The lot was almost full at 11:30 a.m. & the three rooms were almost full, but the guns, ammo & accessories would have filled one of the two bigger rooms nicely. Knives, jewelry, confectionary food, and non-shooting stuff was in abundance. I saw a lot of people buying guns, but I think mostly handguns (those lucky Yankees).
The few M-1s & Carbines seemed higher than the last show. There seemed to be a lot of vintage ammo, not a lot of modern. One big ammo dealer, but I found no 158 grain .38 special or .357. No 303 British. I saw no 10 round AR mags (just in case). There were a number of Mosin-Nagants ($350+) and SKSs ($600+), but, there was this "Unissued" Yugo SKS, with service manual for $550. I was too short by about half.
This is the first time I was disappointed with this show and came home with all my money. (Also, the admission went up a buck).
