What a joke that show was...
It was pathetic...just really pathetic...

Ammo was triple , quadruple priced...
Almost ZERO MILITARY SURPLUS RIFLES or pistols...

I was looking specifically for "C & E"
Collectable historic firearms...MAKAROVS CHI-COM, ROMAINIAN , YUGOSLAVIAN (NONE), STAR 9MM (NONE), TURKISH MAUSERS 8MM($500$895??? WTF?? NO WAY )

Things were triple priced way out of my $$ reaches...I did find a "project" fixer upper Italian Carcano bolt action filled with cosmolene, missing a top forearm piece and some rust for $199.00 out the door..( rifle price, background chk $15?, and tax $12?...so the rifle was $172?)
No AMMO AVAILABLE for it in the entire show, no 5 shot drop out MAGAZINES available, no strap, no bayonet)

Hardly any guns at all...barely any Ammo either...if this is a precurser of future Uncle COol JoJo's AmerICAn gun show reality?? Count me out...I will just stop going to them and drive directly down to CLASSIC FIREARMS IN VIRGINIA and make a long weekend out of future collectable purchases...gun shows are a joke now and have NOTHING WORTH BUYING AT ALL.

Why sell ammo at a gun show when you can fleece people online.

Right now is not the time to buy anything gun related, including reloading tools, that you do not not really need.

I'm guessing this is still the pandemic/election year thing in effect. Don't know that we can blame the regime change quite yet

Exactly, it's a paradox, you stock a little, but then when the supply dries up you don't want to use it up. d'oh!

Shotgun ammo and .22s are supposed to be available. I just don't shoot shotguns much since there isn's a good place to shoot trap nearby. I have been shooting my .22 pistol.
