vallejo gun show 31st

[Darklyte27]

So I went today with my cousin, of course i was told the ammo can guy is retired now but I thought there was still a chance to get some ammo cans from others. Well there was the lab coat guy and some other guy next to him. One guy wanted 10$ for the 50 cal and 8$ for the 30 cal. wow.. ill pass.
quite a few uppers and black rifle stuff, all priced high of course for profit.
There was a guy selling 8lb Varget, win 748, h335 powders. the 8lb varget was marked 260 which i didnt see but he said 220$ wooowee..
small rifle CCI primers were 65$ per 1k again no thanks..

this gunshow was mostly look look look.. i did buy some buffalo jerky and my cousin bought a nice soft rifle bag and jerky.

Oh ya, there was plenty of PMC, and wolf ammo at alot of tables, 1k PMC 223 was 400-440$
Wolf 7.62x39 was about 300$

thats about it!

VALLEJO

I also went (early) and waited in the wind??? I guess I was back about 45 th in line.
When the doors opened, the first guy in line (with hand truck) bought 60,000 LRP, and then left!!
Varget 8lb= 250.00???
Large rifle primers $70.00/1000 ????
Some of these guys sure did not look like shooters!
I did get a few Garand items at a good price and had a couple of interesting conversations, 2 rude dealers, some of this stuff must be made of gold!
Today I went garage sale-ing and did much better!!!

ya, crazy prices on primers and powder in the back.
I didnt think i was going to buy much if anything, but my cousin did get that nice soft rifle case. we were there early too, maybe 20th in.

It was a nice morning though, killed some time and saw some neat stuff.

What does a shooter look like?

What does a shooter look like?

They look like someone on steroids, .....kind of that is.

They are large like steroid users.....they usually have to wear a belt and suspenders......they are as tall horizontally as vertically.

They are also like steroid users in that they have small testicles.

Not sure how you check for the latter though.....

Mike,
A little glass known as a shot. Drank all at once.

I went yesterday morning. Didn't buy anything, but it was better than the last one I went to a few years ago. Got a couple of phone numbers to follow-up on for a S&W 1076. I was ruined in Texas and Georgia and ever since I came back to California in 1992 the gun shows just don't do much for me. And they have gotten worse just about every year. The Cow Palace was pretty good in the early to mid '90's and then it started going downhill with all the BS laws getting passed.
