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

[2dogs]

I'll admit, most of the time I look and don't buy, but the last one I went to I bought a .22 cleaning kit, a handgun case and a spare mag.

Only ever bought 1 gun (GP100) there.

 

[5ptdeerhunter]

Just this passed friday I bought 100 rounds of .30-06.

 

[Fly320s]

A case (500 rounds) of Winchester .40SW. Better price than any internet deal I've seen.

 

[Wakal]

Spur leathers.

Wide. With studs. Tooling. Silver buckles.

I'm sick, I need help..."hi, my name is Alex and I shoot CAS..."

Last thing bought? Several hundred cast bullets, few hundred jacketed bullets, some cleaning supplies.
I would buy a gun at a gun show but I've yet to find what I'd call a real deal there. Maybe I go to the wrong gunshows?

 

[agony]

Beanie Babies and some Beef jerky.

And a SIG.

 

[Texas Gunman]

Fixed to go, to another gun show tomorrow, but the last gun show didnt have what I wanted.
But, I did buy 2 cases of wolf 7.62x39.

No guns.

 

[Nathaniel Firethorn]

Small hemostat and a dental tool.

[Schuey2002]

I seem to buy something at every gun show I go to (except the first that was a couple years before I ever bought a gun- I just went, had sticker shock since for some reason I thought I'd be able to get something in a better caliber than a .22lr Ruger MkII new for around $200 and just drooled for a while).

I usually just buy ammo or cleaning supplies (partial list of purchases):
-misc. boxes of ammo
-a case of Fiocci 9mm (love the stuff)
-half a case of Wolf 7.62x39 (fine in Warsaw Pact rifles, I wouldn't take Wolf, even a case, in a pistol caliber if it was free)
-speedloaders for a K-frame
-lots of cleaning supplies

At my last gun show (last summer) I bought a Colt Police Positive Special in .38spl for $175. The finish is somewhat worn, but as is typical for many .38spl service revolvers, everything else is perfect. I think it spent a lot of time in a holster but it has probably been shot more by me in the 6 months that I've owned it than it did in its entire life before me (and I think they stopped making them in 1973).

Plans for future gunshows (over the next year or two, starting in about 2 months):
-tons of ammo and accessories (of course)
-used AR and/or AK
-used Mini-14
-try to find a good deal on a shotgun or two
-try to find a good deal on a used bolt rifle (flexible on precise make and caliber but in the Rem 700, Winchester 70, Ruger and Savage quality range)
-new or used Cimmaron or Vaquero (pair preferably) in .45lc (.357mag or .38spl are the alternates)
-as always, good deals on used revolvers

 

[MountainPeak]

Like new Ruger .44mag single action "Liberty". $250.00.

 

[AR-10]

Lst show? Ammo, a few parts.

Ammo, always.

Parts and pieces, frequently.

Firearms, sometimes.

Love gunshows. Go to six or more every year.

 

[glockten]

At the last local show, a couple of boxes of S&B .410 3" 00 buckshot.

At the last Knob Creek show:

A case of S&B .30 Carbine
Some 12ga. Dragon's Breath rounds
A KCR cap and t-shirt.

Very seldom do I buy a gun at a gun show.

 

[Redlg155]

Bought ammo. Then stuff..yep. Just stuff.

ohh..and a pocketknife for my son. He's only five but ten minutes with a file on the blade and he doesn't know the difference. Now he can have a "real" one like Daddy's.

Good Shooting

[goalie35]

A knife sharpener...but I go to each one filled with hope.

 

[trapshooter]

Let's see.

2 mags (the kind for ammo, not reading)
1 GI ammo can (next to smallest size).
100 - .45ACP brass
100 - .300WM brass
A reloading manual, latest handgun from Sierra.

Didn't see any guns that made me drool (that I didn't have).

 

[ms1200]

last show that i went to i picked up a couple of gi m16 mags & some lc m2 ball on enblocs.

 

[Slotback]

Last gun show I went to, I bought some .45acp ammo.

 

[Kevinch]

The last show I went to, which was late spring 2002, I bought this:


And, after going to gun shows an average of 3 or 4 times a year for 12 years, it is the first gun I've bought at a show!

I also bought a couple of guns in addition to that one, all early in the year & sorta blew my budget early so I stayed away for the rest of the year.

However, there is a big show in mid January & it is a new year..

 

[PATH]

500 rounds inexpensive reloaded .38 wadcutters, Stripper clips for my mauser. button that said Schumer sucks.

[Captain Bligh]

The last one I visited, I bought a Sig 232 NIB for a decent price. It's the only time I actually bought a gun at a gun show even though I've attended them for years.
