Getting Ready for Gun Show
Posted: Thu Aug 14, 2014 7:22 pm
The annual Gun 'n Knife show is coming up here at the end of the month. - It's the only gun show here, and other shows are at least 125 miles away so this is the only one I tend to go to.
This year I'm going to offer bore-scope service at the show, maybe scope-mounting too. If this works out well, I might start going to more distant gun shows.
I don't really plan on buying anything, but you never know. Will have some firearms up for sale that I don't use much, or have gotten tired of.
The fun part will be walking around to look at all of the unusual firearms. Last year there was a pretty good selection.
Assuming I sell a few guns, I have a few projects lined up. - Have been thinking of buying a Zastava 98 Mauser in .270 Winchester, with the double-set triggers. Also am considering .222 Remington and .450 Marlin barrels for my Switch-barrel Savage model 16. Am still interested in an 1885 Winchester high-wall, but now will be working through my brother, who builds rifles for black powder cartridge rifle shooting.
Just like last year, the hot-air balloon folks will be out at the airport at the same time that I will be at the gun-show... This will be my second time to miss out on seeing the balloons.
