Gonna be at the gun show this weekend?

I may go but not planning on buying anything. I have a revolver in transit from Bud's that should be at Thunder Alley before this. And that one was gun more than I should have bought this year. But I had 2 Bud's gift certificates and there's the $40 rebate so....

 Should be a good show.   its tomorrow and sunday, 9 to 5 sat. 9 to 4 sunday, always lots to find, and take your time, it should take at least 3 hours to go thru this show, I see so many people just walk past tables, you never know what small item is hidden on the tables, 
    Its $5 to get in, but you can stay all day .

I wandered around there a couple hours.  I don't know enough about rifles to know if I missed any deals. My guess would be no. I looked at a Harrington and Richards 949 9 round 22 revolver, but I know nothing about them so know idea if $239 is low, average or high. So I kept walking.

That was one of the best shows I've been to in a long time.  Spent waaay to much money.  Fantastic deals all around.  I've could of spent a couple of grand easily.  Good thing I didn't, the wife would be super p(i)ssed.  gsd had some tables, so had a good talk with him, and shooter always has great hard to find stuff.  Like shooter said, don't blister by the tables or you will miss deals.  Took his advice, and scored on a lot of stuff I've been looking for for a long time.  Thanks to gsd and shooter for advice given.
