My gf and I got there around 11 AM, and we parked at the racetrack. We didn’t mind walking, so that was no big deal for us. Fair line waiting to get in the door, and we both thought the crowd was a bit thicker than the last couple of shows. She got a new pair of custom ear plugs from the vendor at the far eastern end, lower level, and we shared a bratwurst from the vendor on the upper level, south side. Other than those, we didn’t buy anything, but we had fun looking at the neat stuff on display, skipping aisles here and there and being done by 2:30. I did stop to look at the prices on some Garands and 03’s, and I thought the vendors were smoking something! $2500 for a mixmaster postage stamp IHC with wear in the barrel, and someone had a pair of replica 03A4’s for $3000 and $3400, with incorrect scopes. That was obscene, and it made me wonder if some people really were that stupid they’d pay those prices. We did wonder about the wares that Action Arms had on their tables - I could have sworn the same three Sig pistols from the last show were there this time around. I noticed because I‘ve had my eye out for a P220 Legion DA/SA in 45, and they had one in SAO and a DA/SA in 9mm, which I remembered from last fall. It’d be an odd coincidence if those two were new at this show…
