Gun Show review

If you’re still looking for a good powder, and you’re loading for .45 ACP or .44 Mag, try Vihtavuori N350. Love it for the large pistol loads.
I was a tad disappointed with our local gun show - as was my hubby (he bought a rifle - good deal, but not what he wanted - what he wanted walked in as we were leaving) - the up side on that is he found exactly what he wanted for 900 less than the gun show and 1900 less than our local store sells - so he is a very happy camper right now. He is indeed camping with guns (Boy Scout shoot)- I just hope he doesn’t freeze tonight - at least I know I can get the $$$$ back at the next gun show!
No Nazi stuff here - a few people who fix/repair guns. Just not what I expected at all. All of it seemed crammed into a really, really small room. And not many people visiting. Although I did get my bitter and clinging t-shirt for almost half price (he was in a real good mood).
And soon as we get another dog I will get my - don’t worry about the dog, worry about the owner sign. But I guess if Obama gets elected, it will be a good thing that I don’t have such a sign.
Most of the gun shows I’ve been to lately fall under that description. One day I’ll find what I’m looking for at a reasonable price.
I’ve seen the ads for the Mitchell K-98 SS rune guns and even thought about getting one. I’m ashamed to say that I never thought about who made those guns. Thanks for the 2x4 upside the head and getting me to think about all the implications. These guns aren’t a testimony of the craftsmanship, or of a particular design (they’d been made for decades up to that point). They’re just a testament to slave labor.
Interesting side note. When Israel was fighting for its formation and its young life, the weapons used came from anywhere the Israelis could get them. Many of the guns obtained were ironically German Mausers from WWII. When the Israeli “armorers” tested these guns, most were so inaccurate as to be unusable. They found that the sights were intentionally mis-set. These guns were built (and sabotaged) by slave labor in Czech. and other camps throughout occupied territory. One has to think of the quiet courage it took to do this act knowing if it was discovered that the punishment was a 9mm bullet in the base of the skull.
