Off topic, but I'm surprised anyone even goes to gun shows anymore. I stopped going to the ones around my area -- I can get anything I want online at better prices and way too many of the vendors are simply trying to take advantage of folks with ridiculous prices (note to gun show vendors: those beater 30 round AR mags from 1975 aren't worth 20 dollars a piece anymore, and that questionable parts rifle, yeah the one without a single matching number anywhere on it and a barrel devoid of any discernable rifling, that you're selling as a C&R rarity, is not worth $450.00).

Same with me, I quit going years ago because of price and quality. If I just want to look at historical guns, replicas, or modern pieces a trip to Cabella's or other big name store works fine.

but every once in a while you run across a guy that has no idea what he's selling. i've picked up a number of guns for hundreds less than they're worth, and a couple cases of ammo for less than cost.
