Went to my first gun show...

[Nick1911]

And it was a lot of fun! It was the Indy 1500 gun and knife show ; and really wasn't nearly as crowded as I'd expect. I got to see some cool stuff, quite a bit of class III automatic stuff. (That I would really not mind having in my collection )

Anywho, I bought a folding stock for my Romainian AK (PLEASE NOTE: This is to be put on AFTER the ban expires! Not before!) And for the life of me, I can't see how it would fit on there. I also got a bayonet for the Garand... But I can't get that to go on either . It seems that the little plug thingy for the end of the gas tube is too big! Could this be because it's a new manufacture?

What's with all the Sten MkII parts I saw there? It seems like every table had a section dedicated to 'em... I didn't know that sten's were that common...?

Thanks,
Nick

Glad you enjoyed the show Nick ....

I didn't know that Sten's were that common...?

Oh yeah ... there must be countless parts floatin around still ... but thing is - care needed to keep things legal ... all too easy to make those suckers go auto .... with certain things done!

Many cheap pressed steel guns .. were made in such huge quantities .. there'll be guns and parts around for ages yet!

I'm glad you enjoyed the show. I went on Saturday morning with a handful of my friends. I was probably the only one of us who was ready to buy a new gun, but of course no one had what I was looking for. I guess I shouldn't have been expecting too much since I've never had any luck at a gun show, but it is apparantly unrealistic to find non-AR .223 rifles. Nobody had anything that I wanted. Too bad really. I somehow doubt I'll be going back to the Indy 1500 until I'm ready to buy a cheap sword or rubber band toys.
