I went to the show planning to buy some hand gun cases. I have several hand guns without cases, and there has in the past been a dealer there that makes and sells them, and has a huge assortment.
As luck would have it, he was not set up at the show, and I was able to find just ONE handgun case in a size I wanted among the whole 100+ dealer tables. ONE.
And there were only maybe 5 in the whole place for sale. About the same number of rifle cases.
Plenty of ammo, but pricey.
A few shotgun primers. The only rifle or pistol primers I saw were a couple sleeves of 100 that looked to be 30 or 40 years old that the guy wanted $1 a sleeve for. I don't recall seeing any powder at all. And not much in the way of cases or bullets. Was definitely not a show to get reloading components at.
Lots of guns of all flavors. Not bargain priced, but not way out of line either.
Lots of sharp things.
No jerky. The jerky guy was not at the last show either. I liked his jerky. I was hoping he would be there so I could get a package. But alas, no such luck.
Bargain. 50 cal ammo cans with a little external rust for $3 each! I got 5. Same guy had them de-rusted and repainted for $8.
Better bargain. Two hundred nickel plated PMC 38 special cases and (20) 1957 FA 30-06 cases for a total of $5.
