Had a gun show in Kearney this weekend, 250+ tables... Prices were pretty similar for most things... Romanian sks that took ak mags, $330, good looking Norincos from 300-400, shovel/club Yugos for $300. Picked up a Romanian .22 training rifle for $70 that I am pretty satisfied with -- $130 locally.
Was a bit disappointed though.. Saw a box of 7.62 pistol rounds for $6.59 and asked if they were 7.62 nagant... guy told me yes so I went home with 400 rounds of the stuff for $60. Yep. NOT nagant, turned out to be 7.62x25, commonly $100 range for 1260 round spams, so I definitely got hosed (and for a gun I dont own I might add :/)
Good turnout though and wide rows to walk down, more people than normal taking guns home as well. ZERO rifle primers to be found though, but quite a few flavors of 7.62x54r, ended up with some polish silver tip. Even had .223 tracers at $25 a box of 50.

Yeah I am pretty satisfied with the new .22 we got, now I can help my friend learn to shoot with it instead of the Mosin so it doesn't scare her off from shooting :P I started with .22 and I love to shooting all of them now.
I saw photos of that Romanian rifle in last year's Southern Ohio Gun catalogs. It looks like a decent basic-marksmanship trainer, inuyasha. You may have gotten the steal of the day. That $130 was what they were going for in the catalog - and I thought that was a bargain!
They are pretty neat... the Romanian sks and .22 both had the same looking stock, must be some special tree type in Romania.. The .22 itself is pretty neat though, has 2 flip up iron sights that go up with the fixed one.. 25, 50, and 100 yard. I happened to grab a 1973 one without the cleaning kit in the stock and was a bit tight to open so I disassembled it on the car trip home... thing was swimming in cosmo almost worse than the mosins I had, but now that it is cleaned out the action is smooth, cant wait to test it out this week.
There were a couple model 60 .22s but they were all $100-200 range, absurd since they are around $150 new..

Thought about driving out there but did Hastings a few weeks ago and decided I didnt want that drive again.Instead went to the one over in Council Bluffs IA.Sounds like they were about the same.
We ended up finding out about the Council Bluffs one on Sunday about two hours after it ended.. anything worth mentioning there? Found a Tula laminate mosin at one of the Sols for $129 but it was force matched and missing its cleaning rod.. Has some Sako and a decent amount of other rarities but they are priced a bit high.

I didnt see too much worth listing here. That is the second time I have been to a show over there and not impressed with this one. First one last fall had alot more.
129 at SOLS is probably the best you are going to find. He is high on everything and doesnt like to deal very well. I did get them to come down to 400 on a Russian Tula SKS a bout a month ago. Given the current prices didnt think I did too bad.
