Who is going to the Tally gunshow this weekend?

[FLT]

Same old stuff . I went with a friend that wanted to go . We talked with several old friends and fellow gun enthusiast . And look at bunch of over priced guns and ammo that in many cases is the same guns and ammo I looked at for the last two or three years. Basically just the same bunch taking their gun collection out for a walk. And as always Tim was there selling cans and as usual I bought a couple from him. There was very little powder there and none that I was looking for. Other than picking up a few cans from Tim and buying a candy bar from a friends daughters fund raiser it was a waste of time and eight bucks.

Was the candy bar good, at least?

Yes Sir it was!
The label said worlds finest chocolate .

Goddamn those bars have gotten thin. Back in my day.. Oh fuck, never mind.

It's up to $8? Damn.

Funny, $8 is cheap for a gunshow. Most of the shows I have been to lately are charging $10 for even the small shows.

Tim your cans are a good deal but if they charge $10 to get in that sorry ass gun show I'm going to have to bulk order my cans from you direct and pick them up in Thomasville . I go to several gun shows a year some as far away as Texas and the Tallahassee gun show is the worse by far. It's mostly the same old dealers from south Florida peddling the same over priced stuff year after year. They were asking $7.50 a box for 22 LR that Bass proshop had in stock for less than $3.00 a box today. I guess we are just not going to agree about the Tallahassee fair grounds gun show.

When I went (Sunday 10:30 am) it was $7 to get in. I went with my 3 demon spawn in tow. I purchased some 7x62x54r primed S&B Brass from Georgia Arms for $15 per 50, and a rail sling mount for way too much ($20).

This show was smaller, about 20% fewer vendors. The downturn in gun sales (or the dieting after so many feasted till they puked) may be in effect.

I've considered attending one of the out-of-town gun shows. Do you have a recommendation about which Florida, Georgia, or Alabama shows are worth attending?

I like the Dothan AL shows . If you go don't forget the time change.

My son and I went small town gun shop hopping and found a box of 100 Speer 150 grain spitzer 8mm bullets for $10, a bunch of unusual cartridges for $1 each (like 9.3mm Mauser, a rimmed .46 cal round as long as my middle finger, .444 Marlin, .220 Swift, a .308 case necked down and loaded with a .22 bullet, etc) for my "collection", and a Chinese SKS with a bayonet for <$200. No crowds, either!
