Midnight Raver-I have shot only 5 rounds out of the Carcano it is scarce and pricey. Got the ammo at the flea market. It does not kick much, t hit where i was aiming. I picked it up as part of a trade and did not intend to keep it. Tried to sell it for as low as $150.00, no takers, I am not gonna give it away so I kept it for a wall hanger.
The other rifle is indeed a Mosin nagant 91/30. Made by New England Westinghouse in 1915.It also has a Finnish army property mark on the receiver. If it could talk it would probaly have an interesting story or two. They both make good conversation pieces.
Schultz, it was good to meet you as well, keep me posted on having a shoot with the Charleston bunch as I will definitely participate. I did not do much at the table till the last half hour of the show. Did the mauser go home with you?
Lafayette Gregory I did go back today but I did not set up my table or the Maxim. I was not gonna go back but my Buddy needed some parts to finish up a project.I did a little trading and buying and came out with a CZ 20 gauge NIB and a Keltec SUB 2000 9mm, both of which were on my list so it turned out good. Yesterday I picked up Carbon 15 pistol.
It is well worth it to pay 60.00 for a table and split it with a buddy.Take turns minding your table with your partner and split the cost.
1. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WAIT IN LINE.
2. You can sell off any ammo gun parts or accessories not needed any more.
3.Sell or trade a gun or two.
4.Kinda like base camp for you and any of your friends while at the show. Gives you a place to leave your stuff so you don't have to carry it around.
5. Your in early so you can preview the goods without having to throw elbows.
