Cousin Wallace, who is convolescing from a gunshow wound he received from the police...(he was running a training class and got hit by a splatter off a steel target) went to the Abilene Gun Show and makes this report:
Wasted the gas and $5 admission this afternoon to attend the gunshow @ fairgrounds
Same old folks with mostly the same old guns....just higher prices. Decent crowd but not crowded.
Never in my born days have I seen so many rifles chambered to 7mm Rem Mag for sale...is the 7mm Mag going out of fashion?
Not much ammo for sale...
Too many knives for sale....well, guess that depends on one's interest. Knives are better than jewelry & beenie babies...
Saw two original Colt Bisleys and a couple of old Colt DA revolvers (Lightening or Thunderer models)
Beautifull condition FN49 in calibre 8mm for $800.

Quite a few Salvage 99's too...have always thought this rifle should be voted "most ugliest"....
Lotsa pistolas of various makes & types. High prices, of course....
Folks there from Fredricksburg advertizing "Build your own AR15 for $795" You could choose the upper & lower you wanted...Im sure the price would get higher for more bells & whistles...

Mosin-Nagant rifles way overpriced....looking for a sucker to come along.
Carbines $800 & up
Garands, just a few $1000 up to $1200
One Rem 1903A3 w/straight stock that looked to be in good cond for $600
One K-31 priced @ $325
3 or 4 nice Brit Enfields $275 -$375 range...
Quite a few Pre-64 Model 70's in various calibres, some nice & some pretty ragged, all fairly pricey
Saw a couple of women gun shoppin' on their own....new trend?
Lots of interest in the AR15...glad I've already got what I need....
Primers still way over priced...think the dealers bought when high & arent willing to sell for less...cheapest was $35 brick & the boxes were ragged looking...some were $47 brick! (Remington brand)
Glad I'm not desperate for supplies or guns...might oughta hang on to what ya got!

Concur with that... NOT seeing any prices I can afford/willing to pay for much of anything...
Robert,
Could you explain more on the wounds Cousin Wallace received?
