I saw the Show of Shows is in Louisville this weekend.  I haven't been to a gun show in a few years- which made me google to see what else is around.

Cave City coming up, and one in Bardstown too.  Has anyone been to the central KY gun shows lately?

Lack of response is indicative of gun show attendance?

There was one in Bardstown this weekend.  Friend of mine went- he said it was "ok".  I guess the internet killed gunshows.

I usually go to the national gun day shows in Louisville.  More of a selection of items.  I rarely go to others anymore.  More lack of time to do so.

Went to both the NGD and the SOS show and really no deals to be had (I did see a rather nice M1917 stock for a $100 though)

I like the SOS a little better, because of the military firearms.

Nothing is cheap anymore. $500+ Mosin 91/30s? $800 Enfields?

I guess all the MilSurps are all gone.

It’s been years since I’ve been.  My experience was essentially 2 types of sellers:

1) Gun shops selling their usual inventory of new items
2) Collectors with exorbitant prices that really have no intention of selling

Look man
This bottom tier 1022 is unique due to being only one with that serial number EVAR

Means it's worth at least $870

True that.  I've seen the same dealer with a well used (as in need of serious repair) Smith Wesson Brazilian. 45acp revolver (M1917) for $900.  Seen it the last 4 shows.

I hit one about a month ago in E-Town and got a smoking deal on a colt king cobra.

I didnt have time to go today though.
I dont think this is a brains type of operation.
