Ah the big gun show has come and gone!  The sad point only 2 15-2's both over priced so the sellers will keep them awhile longer.  The Positive side got to meet a couple Forum members, visit about Dan's and look around at all the stuff.

Surpriseing that only 2 Dan's over priced and owners that really didn't want to haggle. So settled on some ammo, small bore scope, 20 ga 870 barrel, some of the new Ruger 10-22 25 rd mags ($25 each), and alot of Fellowship!   Now what could make it any better than that.  (Oh and much needed rain 1" yesterday and still raining)! 

Thought about the Big show in Tulsa, Ok., though not sure I would be able to walk after that one! 

 

Gun Show season is here!     Keep your eyes open for the Dan's and Hs's....  dwas

We have a gun show in two weeks and a big gun auction coming up at the end of the month!  Hopefully I'll have some good luck since I haven't found anything in a while.

Thank you to Dave for showing my son and I around the Wichita show.  It was our first show.  There was so much there it was overwhelming.  I went in telling myself I was only going to look as it was my first show.  I did buy a pistol scope, and a set of rings and learned to haggle a bit on the price.  Also got some inexpensive ammo.

 

As Dave said, very few Dan's there and those were overpriced.  I'm sure that is the way it goes.  Sometimes they may be there and sometimes maybe not.  

 

I almost bought a Benelli 20GA and a Bersa Thunder 380 but managed to resist this time.  If there had been a W12, I doubt I would have resisted.  

 

Thanks again to Dave.  

 

P.S. Dave's blued Mithcell is spectacular in real life.  I've never seen such a deep blue.  Wow!!!

Exactly !  But I think some seller's have forgotten that haggling is

a time honored tradition at show's and market sales.

Glad to hear you and the boy had a great time, You'll be surprised how

quickly they catch on and will be making their own deals before long.
