way more than any sane person should be willing to pay for a carved-up, finish-worn, dark-as-****-wood yugo, that's for sure.

trench art is awesome, but not when the seller wants what a Cherry's-imported blonde-beech-stocked example should be pulling, that's for damn sure.

any Chinese ?

There was tons of SKS rifles there. Most were 375+

Covered with cosmoline?

Covered with cosmoline?

Yup, some of them too. I only looked at them cause i heard a rumor that a guy found a rare SKS at another show that the SKS were said to be Chinese but this one was not.

I was there Saturday AM and there were two vendors who had Sino-Soviet SKSs for $280 in the middle room. The stocks appeared to be fashioned from driftwood, but the metal was okay (covered in cosmoline).

I was there Saturday AM with a few friends. Biggest show I've ever been to, as it was probably a little larger than Chantilly. It had the most milsurp ammo for sale in many years, including milsurp .303 and 8mm. I bought a few hundred rounds of .303 and 7.62x54 and a few boxes of .250 Savage for extra cheap (must have been someone selling a relatives collection-they let me name my price for both boxes and I bit on it).

I missed out on a VZ-24 that I guy was walking around selling. He sold it as I was getting him the case http://www.mdshooters.com/images/smilies/sad20.gif

A friend did buy a Spanish G43 in nice shape though. It was a large show that was good. I even got a nice parking spot! I'll go again, even if it's half the size next time.

That was a decent Vz24, I looked at it, i thought about buying but decided not to cause it was about the same cond as mine. except mine wasnt poly-ed or what ever he had on there. Still it was a clean rifle.

I am new to the gun scene Oaks being my 4th gun show, I was looking for a particular shotgun that I did find but was more than retail. Most of what I saw at the show was more that retail. Is this normal for shows.. I paid less for my 10/22 at Dicks sporting. I Got a great deal for my glock 19 and my S&W at a small gun shop. I do not know the prices of the older c&r's , regular hunting rifles.

Is that were the deals are?

Not that all the deals are there, but since most of them are older the prices can be lower. Also as a example.. The Mossberg .22 model 44US(a) i bought(made around 1938-1945) goes for about 325-425.00 depending on cond and the seller. I found mine on a rack in the second building and the dealer said it was on consignment. It was listed at 200.00. If you have any interest in older stuff what you should do is some research and see what the cheapest is you can find online and what to look for. Then if you find something cheaper or same price at a show you are usually doing very good.
another example from this show was the wolf gold ammo. I had a buddy just buy a case of it online for 350.00 shipped which was a good price. when i walked into the show , i found the same for 309.99 plus tax.(328 OTD)

I did see some good prices on ak's and new and used ar's. I saw a few 1000 round 9mm for about $.30 per round. Tons of 5.56 and spam cans of ak food. Had a great time. Would have brought home a mossber9 930spx if they wanted to deal. It was a big show.

Spent over 4hrs there yesterday; will go again. The deals are there, when you find a vender willing to "negotiate". Some will gladly "work a deal" and some act like you insult them. Sunday afternoons can be a good time to "negotiate" deals. I was trying to move a WWI rifle for a 7.65 PPK. And, there we a few dealers that negotiated and a few that acted insulted! For me, that is the fun of going.

This was probably the best gun show I have attended in years. Many good vendors and reasonable and some good deals. A buddy got a great deal on .357 Sig brass and he doesn't even own a .357 sig yet!
