The Marietta Gun show was pretty good.  Problem was I couldn't find anything I wanted.   Well except a magazine release catch for my 1911.....that was all I bought, a miniature slotted latch and spring.   $8.

There was a S&W Model 66 for a good price.  It was a no-dash, made around 1973.  Pinned barrel, recessed cylinder, trigger stop and stainless steel sights.  Private collection only asking $575.   I have one, but I spent some time trying to convince another revolver collector that it was worth buying.   

There's still the on-line auction tomorrow.   Wife said go ahead and bid up the offer.   Maybe a un-fluted 629-2 will be in the offering.

Didn't get a gun - no money at the moment.

I did go here, though - the Fargo/Moorhead Big Boy Toys Show.

http://www.fmbigboystoys.com/Entertainment/

The "exhibitors" included Hooters (and scores of Hooter girls in all manner of undress dress). Boats, ATVs, grilling stuff, Dock Dogs, video games, remodeling companies (WTF?), paintball, an X-rated goods store (behind curtains only, as the organizers rightly bill this as a family show - assuming your family includes scores of Hooters chicks!!!! Plus the shooting range where I am on the Board, and I was working the show (and got in free BTW). Here's a list of the exhibitors, including the Red River Regional Marksmanship Center. Check us out on the link, BTW.

Two car dealerships had a few cars - A 4-door Bentley billed as the fastest 4-door on the planet, a proven 198mph. A Maserati, a Porsche and an Audi A8 (feh). No Porsche Panameras, although people in town do have them.

Cabela's from East Grand Forks was there, handing out discount coupons ($10 off a $75 purchase, or $20 off $120 purchase) - plus the sale is still going on. I think a road trip is in order!!!!! Gear and primers and 6.8Rem SPC ammo, oh my!!  ;D

They also had really nice looking young ladies in tight jeans or Daisy Dukes just walking around in high heels. It was more than a little difficult when some of them walked by to keep the discussion about the range going.

Now THAT looks like fun!

However what I want is for kilo to give a range report on that Mossy. It looks very good.

Ditto!
KPR, can we ask how much?

No range report yet...been raining cats and dogs here for 2 days so no luck hitting the range. 

Bought it "lightly used" from a guy on  TheHighRoad.org for $475 shipped.  Thought that was a pretty good price.
