Quote History lol in my best DK Prof voice.
Syracuse is always a great show, when I was doing it with my buddy Mike, I always walked out with a load of good stuff. But I never went there looking for specific guns, the militaria was always top notch. If you go there as a 1 trick pony likely ou will be disappointed. But I always found great ordnance, collectible military ammo, and general militaria there, to buy for my collection, and to turn around and sell.
My buddy Mike is there this weekend, said it started out great, but the weather was so nice, the afternoon died quickly. Wish I was there, shows down here don't typically have a lot of milsurp, or militaria. Typically if you want anything AR or modern assault weapon, Class 3, suppressors, you can find anything like that you want...but typically at, say, the Mesquite show, I can count the number of cool milsurps on my two hands.
The only really good show for milsurps/militaria consistently is the Dallas Arms Collector show, which I will be set up next weekend. The big Ft Worth shows are usually pretty good too, last time I went, I snagged an all original WWII front seam swivel bale original perfect paint M1 helmet with a minty, complete Westinghouse WWII liner hidden under an ugly woodland cover for $40, and an extremely rare German manufactured HE round for the Russian 37mm M39 AA gun for $80...
I wish I was up there this weekend combing the tables. I was never disappointed with that show....
