Gettysburg Gun Show 01/30,31/2021

[Doctor_M]

Once a very popular, now obsolete cartridge. Older common rimfires included .25, .30, .32 short, .32 long, .38 short, .38 long, and .41 short. Only the .22 survived the long haul.

Weren't the first Spencer rifles in .50 RF?

 

[Docster]

Arrived 10:30 as usual. No lines. Seemed to have lots of ammo at market prices. 9mm up to $55/box FMJ. I bought 10mm for $40. Couple of vendors selling Polymer 80 frames around $150. Distant parking was serviced by a shuttle. Large crowds due to predicted weather, even the vendors are very concerned about tomorrow.

Overall a good show. Couldn't find everything I wanted but this show continues to be on my top 3 list. All in PA.

There were reloading supplies but one guy was very upset and vocal about the price of a pound of powder

Yes sir... there are a who bunch of other big bore rimfires too.

Left the show and now home
So. Picked up several standard cap mags for his stuff
Paid donations to MSI
Got this 1866 Chassepot bayo for $85
I figured I’d either eventually get a Chassepot or just pass this along at cost to another MDShooter collector who already has one.
I saw a very good condition Carcano in 6.5 dated 1929 and the bore looked pretty good
Came back to it and it was gone. $190
Who here got that?
Oh and picked up sling for my Swedish Mauser

Looks like a Gras bayonet. Did they use the same bayonet for the Chassepot?

One of the most useful tools if The Walking Dead ever happens.

Jesus. You know everyone has them, why not wear the damn things. Pain in the ass. I might come up later. We will see.

Because masks are annoying. That's why.

No clue, just trusted what is on the label

I’m actually thinking to take a Mosin bayo and use it to roast marshmallows or hot dogs

Nice day. Hit Gettysburg family restaurant for steak and eggs. Show 10:30ish with no line. Found some .44/40, picked up a steel target set. Hit Catoctin orchard for some goodies. Back in College Park by 3:30.

I enjoyed the show. Well attended, vendors I spoke with all good people.
I bought 1 lb.. powder, I bought 500 once shot 223 brass. $120.00 for both. No primers, no equipment.
Had my eye on a Garand, listed at about $1,400.00 didn't purchase it first time around it was gone second time. Think it was part of a private collection.
Oh found a couple of tuna cans of 7.62x54R priced $40. Under what I paid last week!
Enjoyed it. Looking forward to Chantilly.

I stopped at Catoctin Orchard on the way back aswell.
Small world

 

[Bertfish]

Wishing I had gone today. Weather seems likely to prevent it tomorrow

They’re really not that bad, like not at all. I just don’t understand. You have to wear one everywhere you go (stores, etc.) so why not at a gun show. The other side already hates us enough, we don’t need to supply them with more ammunition to use against us.

You're worried about people not liking you because they aren't wearing masks at a gun show? They're never going to like you and the more you care what they think the more they're going to make your life miserable.

I'll let you in on a little secret. They don't like gun owners because of the guns...not the masks. If you travel outside of the DC/Baltimore area it's actually becoming normal to avoid wearing masks again.

This is so true. I have a friend that drives all over, as in the country. It is only in the leftist areas that one sees masks. If you wear a mask in free country people wonder want is wrong with you.

Anyone seeing any CZ Scorpion mags ??

I am pretty sure that I saw some towards the back on the right side.
Stopped and talked to Bigfoot44 and renewed my MSI membership at the MSI booth. picked up some standard capacity 7.62 x 51 mags at a good price, 1 standard capacity mag for a S&W model 59, a couple of Hunter leather holsters for revolvers and a tall Harris bipod for cheap.
Ammo prices were higher than a kite and a lot of guns were marked up 50% or more, than what they were selling for a year ago.
