Love the big show! Sold my pistol no problem and found an unmolested FEG SA85m with accessories at a great price. It's a priviledge to live in a country where we can still experience something like this twice a year. Wife went with me this time, it was a fond trip for us since our 2nd date was to the big show 15 years ago. :)

I had a good time. It was great to see everybody and to meet new people. I got a great little Model Seven for a song. Also picked up a replacement mighty pen for one I lost. Thanks again Doug. You are great.

AAaaaaaarrrrrggggg! That was you! I can tell you exactly where you got that Sa85m, because it was the only one I saw at the show. Lower level, just to the right of the entrance? I've been wanting to buy one for a while (passed on a nice one at the last show, like an idiot). Asked the kid about making a deal on it, and he said it was his uncle's, and that he wasn't there at the moment. Told him I'd come back. Short time later I saw a guy walking by me with it on the upper level. Went back, and the uncle was there but the rifle wasn't. Good deal, glad an OSAer got it - I'll get me one later.

Sold a few guns, picked up some powder and 9mm bullets, going to get 1K of 45's today and maybe more primers and another K of 224's.
I made my profit so I am dropping my prices today to cost because I don't want to take them home with me!

Lol that is the one! I came in specifically looking for one, could not believe I saw one so quickly in such great shape. I was watching one on GB that I was going to get (for a much higher price) if I did not find one at the show. The old guy even gave me 7 mags, two of which are niw Chinese. I did pay full price as marked, I thought it was fair and he seemed like a good old fella. There will be one waiting for you at the next show I'm sure!

He said you were "tickled" to get it! Give her a good cleaning; I pulled the top cover and it looked like it had been shot very little, and cleaned less. If you see a finger swipe in the carbon above the chamber - it's mine. I passed on one at the last show for $675; I wouldn't budge $25 (I offered him $650). Dumb move. They're out there - I'll get one eventually. Just want one with the full-length gas system, which yours has (as did the one last fall). I've been looking for one for a while, which is why the pass on the earlier one was stupid. But then at the time, $675 was towards the high side. Not anymore.

675, nice! I think those days may be gone, but who knows.

I will admit to being a little tickled by it. I broke it down with his permission to check the numbers, they all match. Broke out the bore light, it is a pristine barrel. I went through about a hundred patches last night, I don't think it had ever been cleaned before, he said he had shot some with it and had only cleaned the barrel -- I believe him!

Small world we live in.
