Oh boy, another "aren't gun shows terrible" thread. I agree that some in Ohio are crowded. I don't care. Some dealers have high prices. I don't care. Some tables have non-gun or knife items. I don't care. If your state permits FTF individual sales, then quit complaining. I love...

A guy used to come to one of our shows with old tools. Kind of out of place, but I picked up a very useable adz for 15 bucks a couple of years ago. I have not seen him lately though.

Thanks guys for the replies. There doesn't appear to be any cracks on the forend plus it may be newer than the gun since it doesn't match the stock, which may be original. Gordon, the 5 digit S/N is visible on one of the pics. The barrel also has a 5 digit number, but it doesn't match the...

So went to the gun show today and had some cash burning in the ole pocket. Saw an old A5 pattern 12ga. made by Remington for $230 on a private party table, but kept looking. Bought some 223 ammo, and since I couldn't find anything else to buy, went back towards the table to offer $220 on...

There is a general ignorance on this subject. Most folks here in Ohio think that someone under 21 can't buy a handgun. For example, at a gun show recently, a young guy was toting a rifle for sale. I asked him if he might be interested in a trade for one of my pistols. Oh no, he said, I'm...

Ever hear of a mirror? :neener:

Drew I'd jump all over this. This will be your best bet except some might not have been issued during the war. I was able to pick up a nice Carbine made by US Postal Meter, but my Garand was made in the 50's. (neither from CMP)

My new love (22LR) has formed a bond with my old love (223) with the help of my old friend, Spike ('s Technical), who taught her how to go on a diet while eating all she wants. :)

Encountered a guy at a gun show who had a 10mm pistol for sale, private FTF. The gun was about as dirty as he was, but everything was in the box and it showed little use. He was asking $400 and told me that he had paid $650 for it. We made the deal for $375 and I took it home to clean it...

waterhouse, Thanks for the clarification. I wrongly assumed that both the paper and the online would be consistant.

The new 4473 has a new box with "Other Firearms (Frame, Reciever, etc.), not "both." A frame or receiver is a firearm, but neither a long gun or handgun, until it is assembled. This new requirement (actually a clarification of the 1968 law), means a couple of things: 1. Someone between...

In SW Ohio, it is a yes/no answer to the OP question. There are no longer long lines to get into gun shows. The last 3 shows had no line outside at all when I got there. There doesn't appear to be any slow down on ammo. All of the ammo dealers were very busy at the shows, and prices have...

This observation may be worthy of a separate thread, but when I bought my stripped lower at the last gun show, the dealer listed it as "other" on the new federal 4473, meaning that it was being transfered as neither a pistol nor a rifle at this point. If I am correct, the 4473 as of Jan...

I have purchased many firearms both new and used and I lean towards used for several reasons. I don't buy used unless I can save money. Here's the way I save money and assure myself that it is a good buy. I have never bought a used gun from a dealer, because it doesn't usually save money...

First, cuervo gave you some good answers, but.. It helps us help you if you tell us what states you are talking about. Many answers to your questions are entirely dependent on your state of residence. For example some states require an FFL transfer for everything. We can help you with...

Went to the new Goodman show near the Dayton airport to see how things have changed, if at all, since Nov. One dealer had the AK varient WASR with all the goodies, 2 30 rd. mags, bayonet, sling, pouch, etc. Price $529 + tax. That has been the price since Nov. The show right before the...

I have a P239 with both 357Sig and 40S&W barrels with matching mags. The 357 mags neck down to match the necked down casing of the 357 round. There is no way that a 40 round is even going to load, let along feed in a 357 mag; I just tried it. Actually, the feed lips look the same, it's...

Well, no; if you are trying to use a 357Sig mag. in a P239 pistol chambered in 40S&W, that means, if I understand your question, that you are trying to fire a 357Sig bullet down a 40 cal. pipe. Not a good idea. You can safely use a 357Sig mag in a P239 if you install a 357Sig barrel. You...

What did you buy?

Yugiho, let's look at the numbers. If your dealer is really collecting sales tax on the purchase price of the gun and doing it legally then he is sending it to the state. Again if he is legit, then the purchase price of the gun will show up on his income statement. So that would mean that...
