Went to the Princeton, Illinois gun show Saturday.  In the past it's not a bad show - probably not big by some people's standards, but not bad.  This time it pretty much sucked.

I went looking for mags, of course, in addition to some other stuff.  It's like everyone who was selling mags got together and decided that $20 was the price de jour.  20's, 30's, whatever.  $20.  Except for some really crappy Okay's that were $17.50, and the guy with the NIW Centers that were $35.  Basically, no joy on the mags.

Not too many AR's, and I think I only saw one under a grand.  Couple post-ban Colt HBARs for $1,000 - $1,200.  

But all was not lost.  I picked up 1k of '98 Lake City for $165 with an ammo can, and some .22 Colibris.  I also got some green followers and a stock wrench to put the telestock on my pre-ban (looks nice now).

I was bummed about the mags.  I guess it's getting unrealistic to think that a deal will be found at a show.

Thanks for listening.  

Did you have a good time at the show anyway?

That's why I don't go to the gun shows anymore. Princeton, IL, Princeton, IA, or Davenport. No good deals anywhere.

Try going to a gun show in central OR.

Bring your KY and wear barbedwire skivies...

Gun shows are always fun.  Even if you don't buy anything.

How was the beef jerky?

Eric, I went to the November event of this:

It was impressive (by local show standards}. I plan on attending the next one too, with a couple other local members on 12/1. Let me know if you want to meet up for lunch or something.
