Well? Was it worth it? I didn't get to catch it, unfortunately.

I heard it hella sucked. At least considering the entrance fee.

Yeah, it wasn't that great. Not many EBR's (I saw two or three), some over priced C&R stuff. The only ammo I saw was a commercial reloader, nothing by the case. On the other hand, there was one main surplus guy there and I got a decent price on a large alice ($20), and even considering the entrance fee I still paid less than the cheapest place I could find it online. There were quite a few pistols there, I didn't pay much attention to them though since I can't buy one yet anyway.

Heheh, me niether... but I'm planning on getting one very soon after my birthday next summer.

what entrance fee?

I dunno, I didn't go. I was told that there was a 5 or 6 dollar fee to get in and browse. Could very easily be bad info.

^me

My bf and I went and we just walked on in...so as far as I know there wasn't one. I never saw anyone collecting or anything.
It didn't hella suck, it just was a small gun show. It would have been a lot better with more booths. But it was impressive that it was on a college campus of all places...especially in Rolla.

it was $6 per adult, minus $1 coupon.

it wasn't great. i bought a .22 marlin for my wife and a mosin-nagant for myself, for a total of $125. i also found some rare ammo for my schmidt-rubin for only $30 for 60 rounds. cheapest i've ever seen it!

i was sort of disappointed. i was hoping for a cheap SKS, but they were all overpriced. i was also hoping for a cheap police surplus revolver, but the pistols were pretty sparce except for the high-end 1911 crowd.

i too was disappointed at the lack of a surplus ammo booth.

$125 for a mosin and marlin? Not bad, not bad at all. The only mosin's I saw were $95, which is at least a 50% markup. I'm trying to get some in bulk, should be able to get a few for around $30-$40 each. We'll see though.

The swiss ammo has a going rate of 40- 50 cents per round, but getting it for that with no shipping isn't bad at all. Heck, I could probably load that for 50 cents a round (reload for 30 cents a round or so). I think the 7.5 swiss uses a standard 308 bullet so if I ever see the gun for cheap I might get one, but doubtful since 25-50 cents per round is a lot for me. I like having cheap plinking ammo.

Edit: Hey prophet, if you ever think about hunting with that swiss rifle of yours, you can buy loaded softpoints for a buck a round (hornady has 20 rounds for $20) or get some new brass and I could load that up for you, or you could get me a couple of your unfired shells and I could pull and replace the bullet (thats what I did with mosin ammo before I got reloadable brass and dies).

There is a gun auction in St. James on the 10th. You guys might want to cheack that out. For more info the flyer is at the dalono station on 72 and elm

i've still got 18 rounds left of my Norma soft points. i took a deer with it... and i cut the thing open and poured out the internals. perfect shot through the heart, but it liquefied the entire inside. apparently, people use it for hunting buffalo and such.

i think i'm gonna get a replica stock put on it and give it back to my dad with the 60 rounds. the mosin-nagant has almost identical ballistics, with just a little less velocity, and it's a lot cheaper to shoot.
