Here's a fun little game we can all play, just to let everyone know how good, or bad, we did at the show. Doesn't necessarily have to be Wannenmacher's, it can be any show, but let's keep it recent, say, the last month. And pictures, or it didn't happen! I'll start...

I just spent $1100 at Wannenmacher's and got a .38/44 HD, a .22/32 HFT (Bekeart) and 11,000 primers.

I actually spent WAY more than $1100 at Wannenmacher's, but these were the best deals.

I drove 70 miles to a gun show last Saturday.
I bought a Dr. Pepper.

You don't need photos for this: I went in the jewelry store and spent around $1200, and all I got was a happy wife and two Swiss Army Knives for me.

Looks like you had fun, been there only once. I know if you see something price wise, there is no going back it could be gone. Good price on the primers?? Larry

I got all 11,000 primers for $400. $325 for the .38/44 HD and $375 for the Bekeart. To paraphrase an old lottery commercial, "You can't win if you don't go."

I am a .22 boys rifle addict. I was looking for a 1902 model Winchester in better shape than the one I currently have. My grandson spotted one in the original take down case. It looks nearly new wood and near perfect blue. a few small scratches on the stock. It was on the lower level after noonon Sunday. I ended up paying $600.00 for a rifle that probably retailed for $5.00. I'm not crazy, am I?

I also bought a never used or sharpened bayonet for a M1 carbine. No real bargains, but I had a really good time.

There were a lot of empty tables and about 75 feet curtained off the East end of the bottom level. And another show where I didn't spot the elusive Charley Sherill. The place was crowded.

I came away relatively unscathed. $500 for the Rossi 92 in .45 Colt, $55 for the book, $230 for 3,000 primers. The Turnbull calendar was free. So, $785 total.
