At first I figured it was gonna be your typical "Beef Jerky" day the the Gunshow. High prices & junk. It was one of those "Smaller" local shows so I wasn't expecting much.
The low $4 cover charge was the first "Ok, I'm already ahead" moment of joy, because the usual $10 cover around here is a real drag. So I figured, hey I get lunch free today!!
The second rush of excitement came when I scored a case of 5.56 for $120 & th"Older" gentleman threw in a couple mags for my AR for free! I kinda stood there in disbelielf.
Then what I feel the crown jewel of the day was I got a NIB S&W 22a-1 that came with a bull barrel, factory Match grips, two mags, spare recoil buffers & to top it off a NIB Halo sight. $250 OTD. I'm gonna take it out tomorrow & run some pills through it before the game. Maybe I'll post a report.
I'm usually the first to complain about that pricing & the junk at shows but I think there's something in the water around here because today was the first REALLY enjoyable Gunshow I've been to in a LONG time. I don't know if it was because it was a "Smaller" show or if it was because it was mostly just local guys selling & trading but I do know for sure, I'll be returning every year.
To all the people that made the Bonners Ferry Gun & Horn show possible, thank you for the enjoyible experience!!
