Thanks, Sonny.
I will go to that one in Stoney Plain.

Usually the best gun show in the Edmonton area is the Spring event.

Given the current economy I will be looking for some closet queens that might have to be sold for obvious reasons.

Happy Shopping.

I'm working on most of the gun shows this year but that might be a good thing.

Won't spend as much money..lol

Well I need a 1876 a 1895 and a 1866. So hoping some are cleaning out the safe's. Only because they want to, not because they have to. Nobody should HAVE TO sell a gun.

That's a wicked list and good luck with your quest..lol

My search is a little less complicated..

m38 swede

m96 swede pre 1900

other than that I'm just looking for good deals on what I find..(Marlin 336 -30-30) lol

Or whatever...gunshows are fun..

Yep, this quest has been going on for years. I hope I never get to a point I no longer have one. I don't think I'll live long enough for that to happen

. Good luck with yours sonny, I think we are very fortunate to be able to get to a point in life to do this kind of thing. I try to keep in mind that some right now, are not able to, and hope things turn around for them soon.

Well I had a good time at the Stoney Plain gun show but as with all gun shows it was busy busy busy..

I'd say about 90% of the guns were over priced with some CRAZY over priced like a SKS for $350,a well used Marlin 336 .30-.30 for $550,a Ruger mini 14 for $1500...really?

However I did find a couple good deals.Like a brand new in box Mossberg 500 pump 12 gauge in camo pattern for only $299 and no tax...sweet.

Also picked up a German K98 Mauser made at the BNZ (Steyr Daimler) factory in 1942...Buddy was asking $700 but I got him down to $630,not a super good deal but most places online want $695 plus tax so I'm happy with it.

I tried making a deal on a Lee Enfield jungle carbine but buddy wouldn't budge from his $695 price tag.Oh well there will be more gun shows to go to...

I had an eye exam last week and my new glasses should be in next week.

Good thing because those iron sights are getting blurry...lol..

Sweet guns Sonny,, good on yah.

The show in Boniville was OK today, mostly new stuff as far as guns go. Some older stuff but not a lot. No good deals that's for sure. I picked up a couple boxes of shells for the boys Big Boy that weren't to bad priced and a couple pairs of military surplus long leather mitts and liners to throw in the quad box, couldn't go wrong at $10 a pair with wool liners and leathers.

Average price for a Mosin and crate of ammo but I call bullshit on it shooting 1 inch high at 100 yards..lol
Most if not all Mosin 91/30 rifles shoot anywhere from 10 to 14 inches high at 100 yards.

Second add is a good price if you get both rifles for $500 but if buddy wants $500 each then I'd walk..

But you know how it is.....there's a sucker born every minute..

Pretty clean looking k98 Sonny. Guy on gunnutz had some bayo's with frogs awhile ago, not sure if still there or not?
