Military Gun Show - Louisville

[Choatecav]

Anyone heading up to the massive JAG Military Gun Show at the KY Expo Ctr in Louisville this weekend??

I'm leaving early tomorrow morning and really looking forward to it.

If any have been before and can share what to expect, would love to hear it.

A follow-up on this:

The show was unbelievable.  Especially todays session.  Almost a sensory overload.  I picked up a vintage Ruger Blackhawk "3 screw" in .357 that I had been looking for.

I found a few deals:  14 rounds of original .455 Webley Automatic ammo,  a spare Lewis Gun bolt for .30-06 (Rare!), and a nice MP41 mag.

Very nice.  There was just so much there to see and browse.  It was a sensory overload, ha.

In addition to the Ruger BH, I found some great prices on ammo.  Bought 1000 rounds of 9mm for $200.  That equates to $10 for box of 50.  

My buddies bought a first year production Winchester model 94, an SKS, Springfield trap door and a ton of ammo.

Wow. What was the condition of the 1894? Did he get a good deal?

It was in excellent condition.  He paid about $2900 for it, but it was a great price considering what they go for elsewhere.

Actually, he did not realize it was made in 1894 until he got home and ran the serial number.

Well, you need to post some pics for him.

Were there any US Army 1911's?

[Choatecav]

More than you can "shake a stick at"

Seriously, there were scores of them.  

By the way, this thread was from last years Military/Gun Show in Louisville.  I also went to the show this year and it was covered in US 1911's.  I bought a Winchester 1886 this year.

Yes, and here it is.  It is really something to see and I encourage all gun enthusiasts to attend at least once.
