Gun show report - Saratoga Springs NY

[jbcap]

Was at the North East Arms Collector Assoc gun show today at the Saratoga City Center in Saratoga Springs NY. There was one dealer in the back corner of the floor that had a bunch of S&W revolvers. His prices were not that bad for a gun show. He had 2-model 28-2 4" and 1-model 28-2 6", all with the original boxes. He also had 2-model 629's (1-4" and 1-6"), a model 66-? 2" RB, a bunch of snub nosed 38s, a model 19-? 2" RB. Most seemed in really good shape.
A dealer right next to him had a model 58 that had adjustable sights installed. Unknown who installed them but it looked professionally done.
Alot of older military items and guns. Several dealers with AR rifles, somewhat reasonable considering the recent price hikes.
Overall the show was pretty decent, seemed to be very well attended.

So where's the pictures of what you bought?

Actually didn't buy anything, was looking for some specific guns and none were found. Yes, I know you can never have enough N-frames, but I have been saving for two pricey guns and didn't have any extra toy money right now. Joe

Oh sure and you probably saw bigfoot too.

That dealer had a real nice 17-2 with just a faint turn line in a box for $695. Since I just bought one a couple of months ago I didn't think the fun police would go for another.

I'm pretty sure that's the same dealer I bought my 10-6 snubbie from on Friday night.

No, I didn't see bigfoot! There was Bill's Bear Rugs & Taxidermy, he is based out of Evergreen, CO and Lake George, NY. I think he might have had bigfoot's hide on display, or one of his smaller cousins.
The dealer with all the Smiths was Eddie Weiss, dba-Country Roads Trading Post from East Nassau NY.

i attended that show today. that guy had a 629 p&r with a 4" barrel, rubber grips, looked mint but i did not see the box for 695.00. good price around here.

Ed Weiss is good dealer to do business with, I basically grew up with him.

 

[jbcap]

I had never dealt with him before. I talked with him at the show, seemed like a good guy. One of my co-worker's dad picked up a LCP from him at the show, was very happy with his dealing with him.
