What's the last thing you bought at a gun show?

An L1A1 in early December. I won't buy anything Century without having several to pick through and a thorough inspection.

The vendor that patiently allowed me to strip down and inspect several units earned cudos and a sale. He even unboxed a few that weren't out on the table.
 
A Japanese WWII sword for $20 that is worth at least 10X that. I saw a lot of overpriced nice guns and a whole lot of overpriced junk guns. Saw a worn out Jennings 9mm for $75. Heh.:rolleyes:

The gun show loophole probably has something to do with those purchasing jerky without a background check. ;)

I did not buy anything at the last show except for a Pepsi. No wait, my father bought the soda.

A Beam Hit dealer got me interested in one of their computer target system, but I waited and saved quite a bit of money buying it online through the NRA website.
 
2 belt buckles: one with the NRA logo and one with an eagle, a minuteman and a western settler ( both with rifles) that reads "The right to be armed is the right to be free".
 
At the last gun show I was at I bought a couple automatic knives, a couple of kbar knives and as I was walking out I spotted a S&W Highway Patrolman. After a little bit of small talk and haggling, I walked out with that too. It was near closing time and he gave me a deal. First gun I have ever bought at a gun show.
 
Surefire Z3 Combatlight. Cheaper than any internet price and saved shipping. At the show before that I bought some M61 7.62x51 AP rounds.
 
The last thing I bought was a Don Hume holster for the SiG P232 I bought at the previous gun show. Going to another one today, at which I hope to pick up a P220 in stainless. And, of course, a few (hundred) rounds of ammo for it.
 
Last gun show I went to I didn't think I was going to buy anything and ended up walking out with an Armalite AR50. I had been looking for one for some time but didn't expect to find one at the show.
 
The last time at a show I bought .223, and .308 in battlepacks, and a bunch of bullets/primers/powder for myself and a friend who had to work. That's what we usually buy at shows; ammo and components.

I also bought a set of Hogue grips for my S&W 66, very nice on that stainless revolver. Oh, and several .223 ammo cans in excellent shape, not a mark on them.

Earlier this year at the Indy 1500 I picked up an excellent M39 Finnish Mosin-Nagant made by Sako. All matching numbers, a beautiful rifle. Very happy with that purchase.
 
Beef Jerky, no kidding. :D The spiced buffalo one was fab! I also saw a P99 QA with factory installed nightsights for $499. I thot that was a pretty good del, IF you want the QA.
 
NIB Sig 239
NIB Kimber Pro-Tactical
NIB Kershaw Knife
Wanted some 45 and 40 bullets for reloading, but had already purchased enough for one show.
 
A case of 5.45X39.

I'll ususally also pick up some odds and ends when I don't have enough need for the "minimum order" most internet dealers impose.
