I bought one from ZX Guns there. They usually have really good prices, and it is a lot closer than going to their store

Was it the H-001?

Gun shows are nothing for crowds after going to the NARBC reptile show in Tinley Park.

I'm another fan of the Henry. I have the suppressor ready model.

I didn't know there was one

Yep. Threaded barrel and shorter tube.

Before this model’s introduction using a suppressor on a Henry rifle meant visits to a gunsmith for barrel threading and having to remove the suppressor every

I'll have to keep an eye out.
I've been thinking about a .22 version.

You can always come and try mine out

I went to the show in valpo yesterday as well. Got there around 10. Walked the entire thing and didn't see anything that I couldn't live without. I had a few guns in mind that I would have purchased if they had been there, but none were. dealing with the wall to wall people only served to remind me of why I HATE going to these things.....

I bought my Ruger Mark IV from ZX, bought my Luger there, a few bayonets, ammo cans, magazines, and when Dad tags along, he usually finds a Case knife.

I've found a couple nice items at gun shows over the years. Mostly older stuff not made today. Last year picked up a CZ 453 bolt action with the SS trigger. First one I ever saw in person, and the seller had just taken it in on trade and didn't really know what he had. Got it for a song, relatively.

Here's another one I found at the CP show a few years back. It's not original, and I knew it when I bought it, but it's one of my favorites. This is my description from another thread:

Winchester 1890/1906/62A

Bought this at a gunshow, knowing it wasn't all original. Obviously re-blued, etc. I didn't find out till researching, how "unique" it really was. It has parts from at least four different models. Functions perfect and is very accurate (for 22 shorts).

Buttstock is model 1890. Receiver is model 1906 made in 1915 (from the S/N). Barrel is from a 62A. And the hammer, trigger, and magazine inner tube is from a rare, nickel plated special edition.

Someone re-blued it all very nicely, and put it together as a cool little Frankenchester. I added the Marbles tang sight.

It's in 22 Shorts Only, and is one of my favorites. Has taken several short-range tree rats that were intent on gnawing my wood deck.

The question I have, do snakes and lizard make good jerky, or better suited for tacos?

I've been twice some years ago and it's a nice show but way too many people for the venue. Doesn't help that Brian Barczyk sometimes shows up and draws his knuckledragging followers.

 

[Ballstater98]

Found a Nazi marked CZ 27 today at the Valpo show. Lots of .22 rifles, lever actions, and Iver Johnsons. There were some "deals" there depending what you were looking for, but you had to look pretty hard.

I actually purchased from them today as well, was able to get out the door including taxes for about $50 less than what Blythe's told me it would take to order the exact same firearm.

Spent most of the afternoon taking down a ceiling fan and installing a new one. Turned the power back on, flipped the light switch and there was light. Flipped the fan switch but things didn't go so well. It started to turn slowly, made some grinding noises then just stopped. The motor continued to hum but no motion. Tried reversing it with the same results. Tried to help it turn but same results. I'm pretty bummed. Wasted hours on this project and now get to look forward to doing it all over again after my wife returns the junk one and brings another one home.

I have moved on to drinking beer and grilling some T-bones.

See, if you went to show, you wouldn't have this problem today.

 

[tv1217]

That reminds me. I really need to replace my ceiling fan in the front room. It was dead when I bought the house and I still haven't gotten around to it. It's the closest one to the wood stove and would probably help that work better when I use it.
