So the past work week was a real killer and just now got a moment to look what I did purchase over a little bit. It was a heavy barrel AR style target rifle. More on that with a picture or two later. The show was not that crowded on Sat and the people were mostly friendly. Some fair prices on firearms and some really insanely high prices as well. Mostly on the dealers trying to recover what they overpaid on AR style firearms as of late I think. It appears that the revolvers like the Ruger Blackhawks have gone up in price by about 1/3 since I last purchased one 8 years ago (around $375ish for a used one). There were people purchasing them for those prices there today so I feel the prices are now about what the local guys will stand for. I may have been the only one to get a great deal though judging on the prices. A couple was selling all their reloading supplies/gear for more than current retail so I passed that up. One guy there had the boxes of old ammo in plastic shrink wrap as well as older firearms related books for sale. That was interesting to poke through but I did not buy. I resisted the urge to buy any cheap knives, beef jerky. or the overpriced red hot dogs. A new local leather holster maker, his gear looked quite nice for the cost posted but I was all set on those as well for now. All in all well worth the price of admission even if I had not purchased a firearm. Great way to spend a Saturday afternoon IMHO.
