Is anyone going to be selling any NFOA gear there?

The prices were through the roof but there was plenty to look at.  I was looking for 1911's, a little conceal carry and AK's.  Tons of 1911's, not many subcompact frames  and just a few AK's (but plenty of SKS's). 

I don't know bumpkis about AK's but Exeter Arms in the back room had a a few.  That room wasn't quite as busy and the guy behind the counter spent some time walking me through the ones they had, explaining the differences.  That little chat was worth the trip, so thank you Exeter Arms.

I also decided when I get a 1911, its going to have a round butt grip.  I picked up a Sig and that thing was like butter.  Squared off 1911's bite right into the sole of my hand.
You can hope in one hand and crap in the other, then see which one fills up first.

I forgot about the knife table.  There was a table with some stunning knives there.  I can't remember who it was, but they were beautiful.

Back Room?  I missed that.

Found two S&W mags for a mod 39.  $55 for both.  They are bringing $70 each on eBay.

Also found a unique knife, styled like a pocket knife, but a foot long opened up.  Massive, and only $20.  Great for the knife collection.   Says China on it, but what does not anymore?

I think we would all like to see the box stores fill up with ammo again, and there is some ammo at these shows, but who would pay a fifty spot for a brick of .22?
Well some person with obviously more money than brains just paid $190 for a brick - and that didn't include shipping!

I think some of the high dollar sales is from grandpas and fathers wanting to share shooting with young children, when the time is right, damn the costs.  & I could see doing that, I guess.
