Syracuse show kind of sucked. Not many dealers, but a lot of flea market tables. It is usually a lot better than that. I hope than no one who may have gone on my recommendation was too dissapointed.

Hopefully, Rochester will be better.

There is one coming up this weekend (Jan 10 & 11) in Poughkeepsie:

I'll let you know what I think of it.

Well, it can't be all that good if it's in New York. Nevertheless, enjoy yourself!

One in Port Crane this weekend also.

Willy I thiught the Syracuse fall show was a good one. You are correct about the junk stuff. Very heavy turn out I thought. I did score a used read brand New RRA A4 18" with Bushnell Red dot for $750. Still had cosmoline on the bolt carrier.

Hey! You're not willing to make a little drive to get to a gun show?!

Well the Poughkeepsie show was better than I expected. It was most flea-market type stuff, but there were a few good tables of decent stuff. I picked up a couple of boxes of Speer Gold Dot 9mm for my wife at $15 each. I couldn't find any reloading materials though unfortunately, which is what I really went for in the first place. It was packed! Snow was coming in the afternoon, and I think everyone was trying to beat it.
