You just gotta keep your eyes on the lookout for good deals while you're there. I haven't found too many since I've been going but last year I did find a nice 1944 Tula M44 for about $150
just got back a lot of overpriced C&R Winchester Garand for 4800, K98 for 4500. Did have a nice paratrooper rifle for 2450,not a bad price.A guy with a luger display had a killer 45 luger prototype very rare.
I was there this morning lots of interesting displays, lots of really cool guns but most out of my range. Worth then 10 bucks to see it all though, I was looking a a decent krag sporter but I didn't bring enough cash.
Spent 4 hours at the show Saturday afternoon and still did not see everything. Quite foot-weary after. Bought some '03 parts from Bill Ricca once again - real gentleman!
Lots of Civil War muskets and Trapdoor Springfields, but fewer '03s than I would have expected.
