Can I play? This just followed me home.....

Welcome to the affliction. As diseases go, this one can make for a fun ride

In with a trip back to the War of 1812 era. This pistol by Simeon North is US military stamped and in pretty good shape. It has a few issues and I'll have to find a big honkin piece of flint for it. Considered the father of the milling machine and a follower of Eli Whitney's manufacturing philosophy, Simeon North was a Massachusetts gun maker that supplied the infant US military in addition to making civilian guns.

I went to the 1500 today with one of my sons. It's was great spending time with him, but the 1500 was a bust for us. There were some nice things to see but no deals to be had. I was on the hunt for Arisaka parts and found none. I was looking to buy a Midwest Industries light handguard but only saw no-name handguards of questionable origin.

I think that I've outgrown the 1500. It's the first time I've gone and spent exactly zero dollars. I didn't even buy the malted milk balls that have been the high point of almost every 1500.

 

[Trigger Time]

I got out of 300bo too. If anyone needs good factory killing rounds I've still got some loaded pmags. Hornady, sig saur. Maybe some noveske still too

That's pretty much how I felt. Highlight for me was seeing Kelly again at the NRA booth and saw a brother from my lodge. Then leaving the hood.

I'm convinced that the 1500 is a show designed to separate newbies to guns from their money. It's a great place to find the latest tech in nylon holsters, knock off red dots and Chinese copy AR parts.

The only thing I've really ever bought at the gun show anytime I've went over the last 15 years or so is surplus and tactical gear and accessories. Some I took overseas for work.
RARELY have I ever seen a gun deal that was good enough for me to buy it there

 

[Ruger_Ronin]

I haven't been in a few years. Just isn't what it used to be. To TT's point, the surplus gear was a big draw for me. A lot of my early years into the scouts and outdoors in general was made of that ODG gear. That stuff's getting harder to find at a decent price as well.

 

[Bennettjh]

Haven't been in several years. Just lost its appeal to me. Cost, and location is somewhat of a deterrence as well.

Picked up my beloved Colt Gold Cup 1911 there so all isn't lost.

 

[SOUP]

I went looking for a new every day carry… left empty handed. I did buy the new surefire x300 turbo, which puts the older models to shame imo. So I’m glad I found that, but it was at full retail.

 

[88E30M50]

I still have some of the surplus gear I bought several years ago at the 1500. The vendor that had a ton of stuff was not there and what surplus was there was just small bits at various tables.

I enjoyed spending the day with my son, but we'd have had more fun on a gun shop crawl.

[Leadeye]

Ok….I need to find something like that…maybe a reproduction?

Pedersoli makes an excellent reproduction of the Harpers Ferry 1805 flintlock, they pop up one GB.
