Man, when you go to the gun show, you really go to the gun show! Have fun with all your new toys. I had a CETME which I sold, it shot ok, but the rear sight was welded on crooked. Maybe I will pick up another one someday. Until then I have a AR10 to play with. I like the FAL, that may be my next purchase.

My roomate picked up a pair of M-44 Moisin Nagants in really nice shape for 150 dollars for the pair - I think he did pretty well

I was at the show yesterday here in Tucson and it was by far the worst show I had ever seen! Nothing but crap and overpriced crap at that. Very few exhibitors. I guess all the good stuff stays back east when it gets hot here. It was over 100 yesterday. Anyway, I was very dissapointed. Glad you got some deals.

To add insult to injury here are the prices we paid:[}:D]
Garand $500(barrel is correctly dated and is not a re-work gun) Imbel FAL $400 (I already have one, but for that price why not two!) Cetme $298 Sar-2 $314 HK P7M8 $750 (two mags, and a nice galco holster, plus it keeps her from shooting mine) SS109 ammo $180 for 1k rds. $200 for 1660 rds. of spanish .308 $150 for a complete uzi kit to keep my uzi running. I'm still kicking myself for passing up a Colt 1911 in .38 super for $350 and a pallet load of walther PPK's new in the box for $200 DDUBB, move to a free state like Idaho and enjoy your god given freedom! |

Why would I want to move away from here? Great weather, ocean views, totalitarian Nazi dickheads everywhere. Oh yeah, and gunshows with no guns. Well, there was that black powder guy...

I picked up an Imbel Gear logo receiver for $270 and an ASA AR lower for $110. I've got the Imbel barreled to an 18" Steyer barrel, and it only needs to be headspaced.
I'll have the lower completed by the end of the month using a Bushy or DPMS internals and an ACE tubular stock. I know the ASA doesn't have a good rep, but it sure looks well made. I'm getting a Bushy fluted heavy barrel for it, but will eventually mount it on a Bushy or Armalite lower later on and put the ASA on a shorty configuration. |

The ASA lower should be fine. Rumor has it that ASA is getting them from RRA now after Bob got sued and lost 25k to Lewis Machine & Tool. Just don't try to sell a complete rifle with that lower on it. People will see ASA and run.
My only purchase at yesterday's show in AZ was a LNIB Insight M3 with batteries for $40. |

innocent_bystander:
I picked up on that after I got home and searched for info here on ASA. It was an impulse buy. I don't plan on selling it, anyway. I'm through selling guns. I got rid of a lot of stuff that was basicly junk that I carted around for years. Overall it was a good decision, except for my preban Colt and Bushy (which were not junk). As time marches on, I think I made a mistake there. I got good money for them, but I regret selling them. Maybe next year it won't matter. |

Omar, you did good on the Imbel Gear Logo reciever, they are drying up and kit prices are increasing in value as well. Buy while you can boys.

Take a close look to your CETME I just picked one up at the gun show this past weekend (rifle, case, 5 rnd mag, 2 20 round G3 mags, and mag pouch 415 out the door). Mine checked out ok, but one thing to look out for is a ground bolt, if that comes up send it right back to century. Check your headspace, cycle the action pull the trigger, and with a feeler gauge check the space between the bolt face and carrier should be between .004 and .020 inches if not look into over/undersize G3 rollers. Other than that have fun and buy a lot of the Portugese 7.62x51
