I just returned from the Central Wisconsin Gun Collectors Association gun show in Fond Du Lac. GREAT show -- some 400 tables and not a single jerky or jewelry (to my wife's disappointment) seller. LOTS of antique and collectors guns -- trapdoor Springfields, Krags, '03s '03A3s, M-1 Carbines, Garands, Mausers, blackpowder Colts, even original flintlocks. Reminds me of a miniature version of Wannamachers in Tulsa.
Prices were nothing to write home about -- spotted a NIB Glock 22 for $450, a decent looking Garand for $475, and ammo was still fairly decent price. I picked up some new GI 30-rd magazines with the green followers for $15 ea, and 300 rds of sealed South African 5.56mm 62-gr steel-core ball ammo for $110.
After hearing all the laments about crappy shows (and having attended a few myself in various places), just thought I'd let y'all know that all is not lost.
