Anyone who attended gun show today at state fair see....?

There were at least a few reloading parts (a few dies). One table on the north wall had a couple. I didn't look closely though. I don't think there was much in the way of reloading.

Ammo cans. Looking for a few, thought Id try posting before I made the trip.

Lakeville Fleet Farm had very nice ones for $20 last week. If you consider the gun show $5 entry, they work out about the same. I found the ones at FF had excellent rubber seals and looked like new.

Did anyone see someone selling reloading die parts? I need to replace a few bent stems. GL finding them in stock online. I used to get 3-packs of stems from several places. Now they're sucked dry... Would be worth a drive there tomorrow since I have to take my daughter back to Hamline at some point.

What brand od dies and stems are you looking for?

Picked up some 9mm boxes of 50 Federal American Eagle for .40 a round...not bad considering today's prices...

Found a box of .303 brit, and a bandolier with 50 rounds of ball on stripper clips...

There was a lot of over-priced ammo. Say some 9mm Chinasport for $27 for 50 rounds...Thanks but no...bricks of 500 .22 for anywhere from $65 to $80...Didn't see anyone buying that...

I also noticed that some people don't subscribe to "concealed is concealed"...On the plus side, security was only concerned about bags, backpacks, etc. As to whether I carried today or not...I can neither confirm nor deny...

Not real sure their posted sign there was too compliant either...

Weirdest thing today on my bike ride. I saw 3 Hacidic Jews walking down the street with their coats off, all open carrying. I wanted to go over and ask them what they were carrying, since I was interested. But since I was in my hipster outfit, I figured my odds of having a conversation not at gunpoint was probably pretty limited.

I know one had a 1911 (most likely), but that's about all I could make out.

Sounds like you're a religious bigot.

Oh geez. Not another religious argument over 1911s.

Watch it..

[SamM]

Pretty easy to determine where all the .22lr has been going. I did, however, find one person selling 500 rnd bricks for $25. Didn't see many ammo cans, but then I wasn't looking for them.

Watch what? He seems to be pretty clear that he didn't approach them because he thinks Hacidic Jews will react violently to someone wearing hipster clothes.

What brand od dies and stems are you looking for?

The kind that the Hornady Zip Spindle uses. It measures like a 12-22 with the ridges turned down and no, I didn't mean 12-24. Trust Hornady to insure return customers. Actual OD is .192

Any one see a Berreta 92a1?

[smurfman]

It wasn't a bad day for me. Found two bags with a dozen Garand en bloc in each for $6 a bag. Theya lso ahd a pair of Taiwanese 30 round M1 Carbine mags for $10 each. A Browning marked box of 375 H&H ammo was found for $35. I don't plan to shoot them, I just wanted the box for my collection. I also found bayonet with sheath for an Arisaka for $60. That is a bit better than the $120+ I've been finding for similar bayonets without scabbards.

My best buy was a Type 44 Arisaka for a little over $300. It had the mum ground off but appears to be fully intact otherwise. I had an offer at the military show for more than I paid but I declined as I wanted to fill out my meager collection more than the money. My biggest disappointment was not finding any 6.5 Arisaka ammo as I have only two boxes and I want to keep them specific to the other two guns I have.

I was disappointed to find only a couple Remington Model 8/81s and Savage 1899s. The Remingtons were in good shape but the Savages were either more used than I wanted or much newer. Just can't find old ones these days.
