was the alarming amount of NATZI memorabilia that is traded or sold. Attended one in Southwestern Minnesota that was called a Civil War Reenactment and Mountain Man Show and Swap meet. Never knew there was that amount of Natzi stuff in Minnesota,what a eye opener.

That's how the market has been for years.

Ever watch PBS's Antiques Roadshow? When Civil War stuff is brought in, the appraiser usually mentions that even where comparable items are compared the CSA stuff goes for more. Same seems to apply for NAZI materiel as well.

The item I missed was a single-shot .12 ga made by "Iver-Johnson Gun & Cycle Works." Poured steel, marked "Nitro Express," it was in VG condition for $100.

guns were being sold at the gun show.

Otherwise, the article seemed accurate for what goes on at most gun shows.

If individuals routinely and regularly selling firearms, the BATFE should visit them and explain the FFL requirements. They acting illegally.

accessories and such. No BG test. The revolver was his only gun, probably worn by a deputy or security guard; the blue finish was a little scuffed along the recoil shield and crane area -- holster rubs. Damned thing is worth twice what I paid for it.

An "unlicensed dealer", some one without an FFL who regularly and routinely sells firearm is illegal. They do exist but, as noted in the article, real dealers don't like them. The ATF should find them and deal accordingly. I have bought guns from individuals, but they were not people in the gun business part or full time. Why do we let this language stand unchallenged? The same with the "gun show loophole".

I didn't make it there because my daughter had a Theater competition, but I'm sure it was a good one.




I'm in need of several items firearm related now....first is I need a 300blk upper for my latest AR build.

I ordered several parts for my Savage 24F extractor, but I still need to find a plunger spring...no one has one in stock. Looks like I'm going to need to hit a show and search one of the thousands of parts bins that every funshow has that I normally just glance at and move on.

I'd also like to find a set of good high quality roll pin punches. The set I have now are cheap Chinese junk, good enough for plastic pistol work, but not near good enough for pre 80's quality that fills my safe. I search the net but there really aren't any great pictures showing the quality I want. I try search for german or swedish but still I'm skeptical.


That's a pretty good example of what goes on a your typical gun show...poor CNN still agenda driven, wonder if they have a bloomie friend on their board.

I went to the Roanoke, VA show back in 2004, had a great time. A guy was selling Saiga AK shotguns for $250.00. I never will forget that, wish I would've purchased one for that price when I had the chance.

Show Masters also does The Nation's Gun Show in Chantilly, VA six or seven times a year. Now, talk about a show. Georgia Arms was there selling their ammo....picked up a few bags of 10mm for around $20.00...50ct. Excellent deals on magazines and reloading supplies all over the place.

They usually sell those seeds which are not approved by the Monsanto or the Government.

There is also freeze dried food vendors. I even saw a table selling collector cards at one show. Pick up a box of .45 Colt bullets and that that baseball card you have been looking for!
