Edmonton Gun Show Nov 30 - Dec 1

[#1bcshooter]

I had never seen so many in one show, all at insane high prices. I could have thrown a sarcastic smiley behind my comment, guess I forgot. There seems to be a glut of overpriced items at gunshows each year, last year the 71/84s in Edmonton, this year, hugely overpriced MNs, 500$ for Hungarian 44?? I didn't need a 800-1200$ 81/74 last year, but they were good for a chuckle, so I left them. Hence my bemusement that they seemed to have not made it this year. (BTW that was mainly cut down ones at that)

Gotta say the Hungarian 43 really caught my eye, and if by some miracle it had been a 35 I would have dropped the eye-watering 1200$s, but it was only a cheesy 43

Yup sounds like a typical gun show to me

There was a real nice Kar88 for sale there, in immaculate condition for $1200. On the same table there were a couple other really nice Milsurps. They were all in original trim, sadly the had all been reblued, either post war in depot or later... 2 1914 Gew98s with high polished blued receivers and bent bolts were being sold as WW1 vet bring backs.....

Though I did get some FANTASTIC deals at the show!! Had to go to the cash machine 3 times...

Got there late on Sunday after work, only made it down the second row before everyone started packing up around 3-330...
