Well I didn't see a report so I'm guessing nobody here went today. tom.

Well I didn't see a report so I'm guessing nobody here went today. tom.

Got there at 0900, waited in line until 0917. Chatted with a friend for a few after paying.
Inside: SSDD, but easy to move around, not too crowded. Found two Lahti pistol mags and five boxes of Fiocchi 455 Webley ammo. Chatted with 39Flathead for a few mins.

Left ~1035 after swapping some equipment with ScotsGuards.

Stopped at a funshop on the way home and bought an ex-PSP Colt 6520 with Surefire M500, which came from the Newport PSP station (H5); PM'd UncleJumbo and he said he likely carried and fired it on occasion.

It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it.

Drove up to the show for a bit. I decided to have the shop open yesterday and I didn't set up as I surmised there would be no real gain in doing so. I was correct. I got there a bit after 8AM. A friend loaned me a dealer badge so I didn't have to wait outside. I had made a few pre-arranged sales deals. I completed those. Shopped a bit. Found a nice Remington-Rand M1911A1 and some GI .30 Carbine ammo; sold a PSP trade-in LE6520 I brought along. Chit-chatted with a few friends including 39Flathead. Swapped some equipment with Noah_Zark then headed to the DQ for lunch. Got back to the shop (My wife had opened) Sold a few things.

The show was smaller than it has been since I was there last with many regular vendors missing. Seemed like a fair attendance but no massive throng of buyers. Certainly no "Panic" buying; of anything.

Good to hear from you both. We went today and my buddies bought what they figured were good deals. I only bought a pocket knife but had a good time. We went to lunch and enjoyed the day. tom.
