    It was pretty crowded until 1800, then dropped off dramatically. I didn't see anything really unusual this time...the normal AR/AK/1911/Glock/clone-of-Glock stuff.

    Went today and got a deal on both a Mossberg M44. and a Winchester 63, both mint. so glad I went ! don't be afraid to ask if they can do better on price. I saved over $300.00 between the 2 rifles. ( 2 different vendors) Another buddy had a similar deal. he went home happy as well.

    Wife, son and I went this morning arriving at about 10:00. No line. Wife spent more $ than I on jewelry, funko pop for daughter and some leather cleaning/conditioning stuff.
    I picked up some H335 powder, an original 70's colt Magazine and Original Bayonet for my M16 retro build. I saw some 1903 rifles still soaked in cosmo that peaked my interest but passed them by. A low serial # 1903 would not bother me if I could reload them light w/ cast bullets to shoot it. I just need to research them more before I drop some coin on them. No major reloader suppliers were there, just smaller tables. Several tables for MD transfers if needed. Son picked up some gen 3 G17 mags, he wanted his mags to be factory gen 3 and not the newer gen 5.

    Oh, just for novelty, we picked up for $1 each, 50 billion Yugoslavia , 50 Billion Zimbawa and 50 Pfennig (Germany 1920) notes.

    Found one Rock-Ola but they were a little too proud of it.

    Picked up:
    Two USGI 15-round carbine mags
    One USGI 30-round carbine mag
    One bandolier of Lake City .30-06 in clips
    120 rounds of 7.62X39
    100 rounds of CCI .22 Short for a friend with squirrel problems but is trying to avoid drawing attention to his eradication program

    Really went to find a specific M1905/M1910 bayonet/scabbard but came up empty.

    22 short does not always mean quiet
    Learned that squirrel hunting down the hill in the back yard.
    22 quiet I find not as loud as the few 22 shorts I tried.
    Weight and velocity on the box can tell you much

    CB Caps ( or the CB Longs , or Colbri , etc) are quiet as heck . But. 21 or 29 ft lb is pretty weak for actual hunting .

    Picked up some AR Mags. Being patient and price shopping saved me $5 each. Bummed I was looking for S&W Victory mags. Found them once and they wanted $45 each for them, nope nope.
