I was at the Morgantown show over the weekend and found out that the Oaks show was canceled (I think they are bringing in a volleyball tournament) for 2/26 - 2/28 and has been moved to Morgantown.
This past show was sparse on attendance even though it advertised 650 tables unlike the one in January that had a line of 100-150 people all day waiting to get in (current events caused this).
On Saturday, the promoter allowed people to enter an hour before the show started because they felt it was too cold for everyone to wait in line
Nice show, well rounded with everything. Aisles were a little narrow. My wife bought a Blowback laser trainer ( blowbacklasertrainer.com ) for our basement.
Thought that it would allow her to practice a little more. Had to remind her that this is not an arcade game that you lend to friends.
Was able to use my C&R and picked up a Polish P-64 (1971 date) and a Zastava Model 70 in 7.65 cal. (1970 date). I need to find a replacement rear sight for the model 70, If anyone has any leads, let me know.
One person had SSP's on Saturday and he was charging $35/100. I think most of the SSP's flew out of there on Friday. Other primers were in the $200 range per 1000. Ammo was high as usual, but there were several vendors selling ammo, unlike what we find at Appalachian shows.
We stayed at the Holiday Inn that is connected to the venue and bought a 2-day pass. Made everything real convenient and kept the wife happy/interested. We hit the show in the morning for me and the antique/consignment shops in the afternoon for her.
