Just got back from a morning at the Fremont/Elkhorn Valley Rifle Club gun show.
One of the better shows in this part of the area. As usual.
LOTS of handguns. All calibers and configurations. Pricey, as usual at gun shows. Better deals here on the Forum and from individuals, but then.......where's the selection that's available at the F/EVRC gun show.
Lots of rifles. From interesting and shootable relics up to modern hunter/sporters. Lotsa AR and black rifles. And suppressors. And accessories.
Shotguns somewhat scarcer. Especially trap/skeet guns. Midwest Stock Makers (Steve Reynolds) has a new wrinkle on recoil reduction.
Quite a bit of ammo and reloading components. 3-Lees from GI/NE was there.
Plus knives and axes. Big library of used gun/shooting/hunting books.
Not so much non-gun junk, though, as sometimes seen at gunshows. If you're a damYankee carpetbagger, those were being sold. Plus some very nice leatherworked guncases.
Morning was heavily attended. For all the pushing, shoving, and body contact, I'da druthered it was a Hooters conference. And....If you want to show off your beard, that's the place to go and do it. Many, many in evidence. All were manly; some were just plain glorious.
Be sure to go to the annex off the main area. Many tables there, also.
Didn't check out the food, but saw a lot of chomping on sausage and dripply cheesy stuff. Looked delishus.. Dagnabit, maybe I coulda had some pie. If the pie is really good, don't tell me.
Bottom Line:
>Well worth the five buck$ admission. Cheaper than a movie; much more fun. And you can leave when you want. Parking lot was really loaded, but still found open spots. It's a BIG parking lot.
>Bought nothing. Couple of Little Items winked and smiled at me. But nuthin' grabbed my lapels and shouted, "You gotta have me." Escaped, this time.
That's about it for now.
