Another this Sunday.

This one looks to be much smaller as far as vendors go... but will probably be no less busy. esp w/ a road-side sign on a major thoroughfare up now. At a local VFW.

Been all over the place on what to get, Any of several on the wish list. Depends on the deal! Presently leaning on the Ruger 10/22 for some plinkin' fun. Wouldn't mind an SKS. Still leaning hard on a G21. Who knows?

Want me to look for something for ya?

10/22 is a Fine gun.... everyone should have at least one.... spring for the 10/22T if you can.... has a bull barrel.... SKS is standard issue also.. everyone needs one, or an AK...

We had one last weekend in Jackson MS.

I couldn't believe the turnout. More folks attended than ever in the past 12 years.

I'm not sure why the huge amount of folks showed up, but I'm thinking political issues played a part.

I can tell you expect to pay a bit more than years past. An AK is almost double from a few years back.

The one we had two weeks ago here in Ft. Lauderdale did not seem any more busy than in previous shows, although it was still well attended. Even in spite of the current political clime.

Agreed! SKS's a re outstanding as are 10/22's. These should be two rifles in most people's collection.

The AK is a suitable sub for the SKS. SKS's tend to be cheaper, particularly if you hold a C&R license.

I have owned a half dozen Yugo SKS's over the years. Hammered thousands of rounds through some of them and they have never failed. Easy to clean, easy to work on, easy to shoot.

The SKS shoots .308, no?

I have both.

SKS is 7.62 x 39 (same as the AK)

If you want an SKS, look for one that has been modified to accept standard AK47 magazines. The stock SKS mags are a pain in the ass.

10/22 is a ton of fun. I bought a stainless one years ago. The folding stock ban had just went into effect, but my buddy had one and we ended up trading my standard synthetic stock for his folder.

I put a laser sight on it and sighted it for about 15 yards.......the sight is useless in full daylight, but plinking cans at dusk is a ton of fun (and cheap).

Is the SKS retroed for the mags? I thought they received the stripper clip config...

Any problems there?

from what I understand, the stock magazine IS detachable, but it is a big pain.

On my SKS, there is no mechanism for holding the bolt open, so strippers might be difficult.

Tip them more.

I support single moms.

What I mean is, I thought the SKS was originally stripper clip fed, and that they needed to be modified by a gunsmith to receive AK mags...

^yeah........something like that.

I have seen some with a detachable SKS magazine, but you have to screw around with it to insert it.

They're raffling off a Benelli shotgun. Those any good? I'll probably plunk down for a few tix at $1 apiece.

Benelli makes GREAT shotguns. In fact the super 90/HK is the best out of the box tac shotgun.

Neo,

if your looking for a pistol shell out the cash for a Springfield!

Yeah I've looked at those. Bass Pro (got one around the corner from me) has a sale on a nice package, $550 for the .45, 16 or 18 + 1 (?), a couple mags, case, cleaning kit I think, a couple other do-dads.

I'm holding out for Sunday and see what's there. If not something there, I'll probably move on something from BPS, or another source or two.

^ My home protection piece is a Springfield 1911 micro compact. It's small 6 round clip beautiful gun two tone stainless slide I paid $1200 bucks for it! I don't know why! It was way worth it!

^What cal?

I guess me and Cycle will be in two places at the same time for the same things.....

[doh!]
