HO Co silverado C&R

[Melnic]

I was there for 2hrs today

Lots of Ammo but no real bargains
One guy had Nagant revolver surplus
Saw a couple Mosins, Finn a few SKS
Saw a guy carrying a purchased Russian SKS
Saw several 1903s
Gun Bunker in Burtonsvill table had a some C&R and a few of them cheap labled AS IS including a French MAS I think

Any one else see anything interesting

MY big score was my wife came and got a 22 target pistol

Saw a Russian Tula SKS for $750 (cheaper than that on GunBroker). I saw a type 38 Japanese with mum for $485 and a nice K31 for $375. I would have loved to have had the type 38, but I didn't get it.

The prices listed are why I don't get too excited about gun shows. WOW is all I can say

Also: did you see or note prices of any Reloading items? Thanks!

 

[Melnic]

There was reloading powder but nothing I wanted
I saw one K31 and the stock looked nice but did not inspect for cracks or repairs

Primers I saw we're priced high
Nothing like the Chantilly Show

If you look you should be able to find a nice Type 38 for less than that, even with a mum.

Here is my C&R pick up from the show, 1959 Winchester Model 12 WS-1 skeet gun. Did see one nice Finn 91/30 I almost bought but I am really focusing on vintage American sporting arms, especially Winchester.

Picked up another Mosin 91/30 all matching including bayonet.

Gorgeous. I lust in my heart for that shotgun. In fact, for about everything you post. My hat's off to you, sir.

That's a beauty. Congrats.

I didn't pick anything up from the show except some .45 colt ammo to shoot in the Uberti we picked up last weekend. Most of the C&Rs there were overpriced in my opinion or just didn't strike a fancy with me.

Maybe I'm just being obtuse after my hauls last weekend

I did South Carroll Sporting Goods a solid though. When I walked by their table within the first 10 minutes of the show a M91/30 slipped off of the rack (I didn't touch it!) and almost took a hard crash on the concrete floor. I managed to grab it and saved it from becoming Bubba trash. Only person who saw me catch it though was the young kid behind the table.

Hmm, Darn now I can't seem to remember. They had quite a few M91/30s though. I wasn't particularly looking for an SKS but I remember Lou had an Albanian and a Russian one

You've moved up a step in the C&R collector's ladder. Happened to me when I had examples of all the items that you could easily find at a fun show. After that the next step up had me active on Gun Broker and Auction Arms for the more difficult to find items. Then it was up another step to auctions, estate sales and the secondary market to gather unobtanium. Takes a while and a pile of cash (or lots of smart horse trading) but eventually if you're diligent you'll get to the higher rungs. Lots of fun along the way and if you do your homework you amass a serious amount of information and wisdom.

Show was pretty much a bust for me. I didn't see anything on my wish list that wasn't overpriced or hadn't already been messed up (refinished, stock varnished). Only saw one guy selling USGI parts and picked up a Carbine trigger housing from him. I think there were as many ARs as there were all other long guns combined.

 

[yellowsled]

Buddy asked me to in the AM, I think I'll pass as I'll prolly just end up getting that AR9mm that south Carroll has and my wife will not be happy about that.

I saw that Type 38 too, Alpha. I thought it was a little over priced, but the mum was pretty and I may have gone for it... if I didn't pick up the Enfield No. 4 MK 1 T that was all the way in the back. It's non-matching and missing the cheek rest and scope, but he only wanted $475 and I talked him down to $410 just before 5:00. It looks real, but I'll have to do some more research on it. I'll post up a thread about it.

My noob feather is showing, I saw that Enfield and although it looked nice, thought it was over priced. Now I know why it was priced so. Now I have something else to look for when viewing these.
Congrats.

Was the guy that sells M1 and 1911 parts there? I need a thumb safety and some grip screws for my 1911.

If you mean the guy from E C Depot? Yes he was the guy I got the carbine trigger housing from. About halfway back.
