a) I got a 96 Gustov for $100 5 years ago at a show.

It was matching but someone had varnished the exquisite walnut stock, so I bent the bolt and drilled and tapped it.

It was the hardest metal I ever tapped in my life.



b) I got an M38 Husq for $135 2 years ago at a show.

It is all matching, unissued, maybe unfired, but the stock is a softwood. The owner died with alot of guns, and his duaghter was selling them.

I am leaving it unfired as trading stock.

I know a guy that keeps trying to buy it off me.





I used to buy all the Weaver K4s I saw at gunshows for $20.

That was 3 or 4 years ago.

Now they want $40 to $60, and I just walk past them.



I just got three scopes at the show last week:

$98 Leupold M8-4X

$29.40 Weaver K2.5 60-B [dual cross hairs and post]

$19.60 Weaver K3 60-B [post]

$325.00 = "GUN SHOW PRICE". (Too high!!)
