Sooooo - on the off chance you see this post before the doors open today (Saturday) - where are ya located this year?!

Patiently freezing my cartridges off out side .... Abby
 
Doors open at 09:00

Hummm - maybe a few hundred lined up outside.

Not so bad, not raining & not chilly (heh, heh - when you're sitting in the car ....).

7:30 for a 9AM start, thats pretty good.
I used to do that for a few concert tickets, way back when...

I'll be there at about 10AM.
 
Saw lots of M1 Garands from $1200-3750. The $3750 was for a M1-D, it had the cone flash hider but no scope or cheek pad, maybe in the ballpark if it had those missing parts. A few mini14's from $1000-1400, higher prices for bnib ones. How about a Win Trapper in 44mag for $950. Lots of high end Lugers, $5000 and up. New 1lb cans of gunpowder for $42-45ea, check tables before you buy. All kinds of Lee Enfields and everything else. Good show as usual.
 
Geez 1000 to 1400 for a used mini 14.......u would think they would be totally under 1000$ for those prices they will be at the next show and the next show and everyone after that for years to come

My friends went. I've run out of gas for the event. Don't want anything, don't need anything. Too much same old same old every year.
 
Got there about 9:20.....line up was down one of the isles in the parking lot.....200 yards long. But, unlike last year the line moved quickly.....i was in by 9:30.

Bought some unobtainium at good(relatively) prices. A lb of H4350 for $40, 100 shiny virgin 300wm WW cases for $20, another piece of camo i dont need, a 30 cal RCBS bullet puller collet for $10, some 6.5 140 partitions for $30, a buck knife for $15, couple thousand primers....retail but they had them, some gun cases.

Rusty Woods was there with lots of reloading and powder.

Powder was pricey but more available than last year....inclucing stuff like the finn stuff i can never pronounce or spell....reloaders from #7-#33.....H and IMR. Even saw shotgun powder, titegroup, cast bullets, shotgun reloading was plentiful....unobtainium....pricey but obtainable.

Dave Friesen(bcredneck.com) was there with a lot of brass and projectile.

I was there early so the vendors were not wore out enough to glare, but that never stops redneck Dave.....very even tempered man...always grumpy.
 
Was at the back of the line got in just before 10. Still managed to pick up enough 7.62x39 to feed the machine (dirt cheep), some explosive targets, and I couldn't help myself from buying more ammo cans. Prices were ok if you knew what you wanted and shopped around.
 
There should be alot more posts in this thread about sweet deal or not so sweet deals that were there wish I could of made it
 
Was there any berry bullets there for sale?

I THINK REDACTED had Berry's.

I scored a SWEET deal on a nazi HP holster... my beddu did very well on a Springfield trapdoor.

Most powders were plentiful and $42 to 45 per pound, no taxes or shipping, so that's pretty good (nowadays!!)

I think REDACTED sold a hundred of those little shotguns of theirs!

Didn't realize this was in the Can-Am thread!!

Yeah, those bulldogs are nice, was sitting on the fence for a while, shouldn't have they're nice little gems. Dropped by CanAmm, some friends picked up parts guns, but didn't see anything I was looking for.
I THINK Bullet Barn had Berry's.

Just got back and boy was everything ever expensive.

I got there at 1 PM and could find no real deals.

Beat up SKS's, $700 for a well used Winchester 94 (post 64), etc.

Didn't even see any bulk ammo but maybe it was all gone.

Left with all my cash still in my pocket and picked up 600 Minimags at Wholesale Sports in Langley on my way home.
