A year ago this weekend I made like a bandit on a bunch of goodies at a local show. Today was no different.
1 seller had a Deerstalker for $200. Had no interest in it. But I did find a DGW flintlock hiding. Only $30. Snatched it fast fast.
Another seller had a immaculate Lyman Trade Rifle .54Cal. For $300 out the door. I had no light to check the bore as I forgot it at home. I passed on it.
But on other side of his table he had a CVA Kentucky Pistol Kit in .45. Looked complete. He said make an offer.. I replied with "Im afraid if I say it you might reach over the table and slap me". I offered $100 and he said take it. I ran to the ATM in the hallway like my.life depended on it. Only to take notice when I got home someone started it. Not too bad though. And its missing the ramrod. Bummer.
But to walk away from a show with a DGW flint lock and a Kentucky kit in original box for under $150. Ill say thats a win. Especially since our club is planning on having a pistol shoot this year.
