Went to Gun show at Belle Clair Fair Grounds in IL yesterday. I usually go to restock reloading stuff, occasionally buy or sell a gun and mostly to handle guns I've not handled before and talk to people about guns and shooting.
Got there mid afternoon and it there were not many "customers" there. Even a few empty "tables."
Did manage to sale an old bolt action 20 ga. Stevens shotgun for almost what I paid for it. Guy I sold it to said he had lots of Amish customers frequent his shop always on the look out for inexpensive guns and this one certainly is that.
I picked up two different brands of reloadable 7.62 x 54R for the Mosin. Now I'll have 30 reloadable cases for that gun.
Handled a few guns but nothing there really tripped my trigger. Saw a few good prices on guns I knew the value of and a few way overpriced too. But that's normal.
Checked my shelves before I left and really didn't need any reloading components. Would have bought more accurate 2 or 5 powder if I'd seen any but no one had any that I saw.
All in all it was okay, but as the old saying goes . . . nothing to write home about.
Life is good.
