Good show. A lot of quality guns. Unfortuantley I'm not in quality budget mode. Some pretty cool old timers to talk to. A decent variety of reloading supplies and ammo, a little pricy ( I haven't adjusted to the new world order yet though)

I seen several Model 12's and Browing A-5's I loved as well as some collector winchester lever guns with 5K price tags.

Not much for Mosins and other C&R stuff though.

KMart, I coulda sworn I seen you and a buddy looking at an AR????????

We rushed back to Pekin to get hay up and it started raining just about the time we got back. If'n my crystal ball was working better, I'd had stayed at the show and got some of the good smellin grub.

Pulled pork was yum!!!!!
Only other things I found were a $5 choke key and a $5 set of scope rings with a base for a 22, I used them on my pellet gun,work great.

He was droolin' over an upper on Law's table,but that guy is way to proud of his stuff. I can mid wholesale the same at $150 less.

K ain't made up his mind yet what he wants to do.

There are a lot of options in this field.

Yeah probably. I was pretty much drooling. lmao, I am being pulled in 2 different directions by myself no less on what way to go with this upper. It may not seem like a big deal, but money is tight, and if i don't like it after I buy it, i might be screwed. Unless I can luck out and get a trade or a sale.

I suffer from the AR quest myself. Just can't seen to commit.
