Did you just get back from Crossroads Gunshow in Sandy?  I was there too.  Nothing retro at all that I could find, parts-wise.  

The only thing I found was a fake slip-over reflex suppressor for my Hardy Boys Modified 727 project, before and if I get a real one.

Also got an LAR blem M4 upper for $60.

Yes that is the show. The only retro parts were two set of triangle hand guards but I thought the price was to high for the condition they were in and the fact that I have another set of new ones in my stash.

I think I have that manual. Made me want an XM148... That's never going to happen though. Guy wanted $300 for just the hand guard.

I plan on going tomorow, were there any deals at all? Any small parts vendors? Worth going to at all?

Great find - one of my most treasured TM's...I love that it covers the XM148. A real piece of history.

The Sherluk booth had three more copies of the above manual along with two sets of A1 hand guards also had some round hand guard front caps with .625 holes as well as lots of small parts.

Went today and picked up one of the other copies! As well as a few small parts, a bolt carrier, a grey charging handle, and a few various Vietnam era pouches. There was a guy set up that had tons of retro small parts, except I went back to him later in the day, but he was gone before I could buy more stuff after I had gone through the whole show.
