Wife gave me several hundred dollars for Christmas as a present and said have fun at the show.
It was not very big as there were four other shows around the area. This worked to my advantage deal wise because there was not a good turnout.
I took an old Winchester 30/30 to trade. (It was extra, I had two. Can't go to a gun show without taking a gun you know) I traded it and a little cash for a minty 6.5 inch Ruger Blackhawk 357mag to go with my Rossi levergun. Then I bought a tang sight for my Winchester 38/55 and some random AR parts. As I was leaving I picked up a Ruger Mk 1 .22 with beautiful walnut grips.(I can always use another .22 pistol.)
I went by the shop that I hang out at afterwards and they had a nice holster in their used bin that fit the Blackhawk. ($10) All in all it was a good day for a small show.
(And I didn't see or talk to a single "transgender" person. That I know of.)

Wow, sounds good!

Good scores all.

Haven't been to one in years and don't miss them one bit.

Better than my day. Thumbs up.

No transgender in this thread is a bonus.

I went to a show today, as well.

If you wanted an old Winchester lever action this was your show. There was one guy that had three or four Mauser C96s and another had about ten Lugers.

I saw one refinished Springfield 1903, or maybe I should say rearsenalled, for ~$1300.

Several ARs but overall nothing inspirational in the joint.

I was keeping an eye open for a vintage fixed blade hunting knife to go with the pre-64 Winchester Model 70 I bought a couple weeks ago. Nothing.

Stopped by a pawnshop on the way home and saw a couple of prospects.

Got a Boker 561 Stag for $25, a sharpening steel for $2 and she threw in the two 1/4" combo wrenches and sales tax because I had cash.

Congrats on your productive Gun Show visit.
