Doors open at 9:00 EST.what time does that open saturday morning?
True. I too am going really just to go. Would like to sell what I am taking but have no wish list to speak of.But look at the bright side, after you leave you'll get home about the same time you left the show! Also planning to be there early then afterwards head up to Jasper to do visiting. Not sure yet if I'll be bringing any trade fodder, mostly going to be a lookie-lou.
You were smart to get there a little later. I got there about 10, took 15 minutes to find a parking spot and it was so full it was hard to get a look at anything. Thinned out quite a bit by 11:30 so made browsing much easier.Good show as expected. Very well attended today but didn't feel too crowded. There was a god selection of S&W revolvers at high to decent prices. Saw a few 3rd gen S&W autos including a 3913 and a 6966 DAO as well.
Two most tempting items were a Marlin 39A in good condition with a manuf. date of my birth year for $750 and a S&W 627 Pro Series. I recently got a 39A Mountie so it was a no to the Marlin. The 627 was very tempting but they were asking $900. Sportsmen's Warehouse has these new for $1,120. This one had a very small ding on the frame where the barrel threaded in and some speckling or freckling on one side. Wouldn't rub off with my shirt and looked to be a little rust. My offer of $750 was politely rejected and I walked away.
