Went to the York pa show today. Two Dan's present, a new 715 that the seller insisted was not a born even though the gun had the lambda symbol. He wanted almost 1100 bucks for it. Other one was a 5 digit 15-2 v4 with some kind of custom grips. Looked decent except seller said gun was hardly fired even though it had a turn ring right thru the bluing to bare metal. Also had impressions on the recoil shield. He said there were two sets of grips a barrel wrench and gap gage but he forgot to bring them. He said he'd mail them to me. Wanted 475 plus tax and transfer I passed. Oh well maybe next show.

As is often the case I am working through another weekend and missing a gun show. Glad I didnt miss any good Dans there though, Chris!

I'm normally an early bird when in comes to shows, this is one of the few I've attended later on in the day. Definitely more fun and relaxed, a lot more conversations instead of just looking. Picked up some very nice Glock parts for better than reasonable prices.
DW notables - Monson .44 8" VH blue (no noticeable roll mark) 3 barrel set with late model 6" VH and a 4" VH laser etched for $950, it was all I could do to keep from sweeping that one up. I think I looked at that one 3 or 4 times. If they were all Monson barrel assemblies it would have been a slam dunk. Also saw a Monson .357 VH 8" with zebra grips asking $500, it was hard to pass that one up also having past good experience with the vendor. My big purchase was a set of three tools: red plastic .357 clear as a bell, a second gen iron 357 with no noticeable use, and a 44 mag door knob - it was a very good deal so I happily surprised the door knob was a .44 mag tool.
Ammo prices - $50 for a 525 .22 brick, $8 for American Eagle .223 55 gr 20 pack or a case of 25 boxes for $190 and various good deals on .40 and .45 ACP. Not so much on .357 and .44.
I worked on expanding my DW network to find additional DW parts. Consensus at the show was that most of the table vendors buy more than they sell. Unfortunately my DWAS affliction prevents me from selling, at least now my purchases "seem" to have a purpose.
