[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 2656907, member: 13284"] Couldn't have said it better myself. Literally the only deal that I ran across on Saturday was a SC 1903A3. It looked to be correct with the exception of the Remington stock that it was wearing. Seller was asking $500 but said that he was very negotiable on the price. I thought about offering $400 and flipping it, but decided to leave it for someone else. The only other items of interest for me were some WWII era M1 helmets and parts that I ran across. I made a couple offers on a Schlueter front seam swivel bale helmet but ended up throwing in the towel since the seller and I were only $10 apart and he wouldn't budge any further on the price. I ended up leaving the show with only a couple WWII British made helmet nets and sore feet. Thankfully I ended up selling my carbine racks for $700 so the trip wasn't a total loss. I'm not sure what the experience was like for modern firearms collectors, but if you had a milsurp focus it seemed that 99% of everything was at least 50% overpriced. I guess sellers are asking premium prices these days for bubba's stock sanding handywork. This will probably be my last trip to a Tulsa show for awhile. [/QUOTE]
