[QUOTE="John Klingenberg, post: 1708498, member: 107749"] The Texas shows were like most have said. Retail plus for bolt guns and high prices on junkers. I used to go for the parts mostly which you could sometimes get fair. Guys that dont smith sometimes dont know the potential of a part, or if you know what goes to and they dont. Particuler gun shows seemed to be better. The Sweetwater one during the rattlesnake roundup was usually the best. The one in Abilene was the same guys all the time. It was funny, id give them a hard time that id seen the same guns four times a year for 3 years. Best deals are the guys walking in or out. Did a lot of deals in the parking lot. Here in Northern Michigan your have to drive a long way to the rare shows. If you want a pistol you have to go the S.O. before you even go to get "permission" to buy one private party and bring your "permission slip" back within 10 days. Lots of lever actions and the Remington 74 and 76 series stuff around. [/QUOTE]
