My First Gun Show

[Larryjk]

Went to the Wyoming Weapon Collectors show on Sturday, the 30th. Hadn't been to this show for many years since it is on Memorial weekend and something else always interferred. It is still a quality show and took up two exhibit halls at the Fremont Co. fairgrounds in Riverton. Three very large rooms full of all vintage of firearms, even a couple of dewart Thompson machines. All kinds of Winchester collections, but Wyoming is a rifle state so there were many more rifles than shotguns. I have a soft spot for single shot rifles so that was my main looking interest. Saw a very nice Remington Hepburn in 44-77 caliber that was beyond my means, and also a very nice Remington rolling block Model 4 in 22rf that was just a little over my limit. Had a great time and will have to make sure my schedule is pen again next year. My son went with me (39 yrs) and that made it all the more enjoyable.

I was selling at that show. Wish I knew you were gonna be there.. We coulda swapped some lies...er ah.... stories. I saw that Rem Hepburn, too. I sold a bit of stuff but bought too much. I couldn't resist and bought an ol Winchester 54 Carbine in 30-06(of course) but it was in nice shape and I got it fer a reasonable price. Couple of things that I didn't sell was the Swede Mauser..Been thinkin I might wanna keep it anyway. Wish I hadda known you were there my friend. Nice to meet members of the board. Still didn't find a 222 Mag of any kind. LOL There was a feller there that was trying to sell a M-12 Winchester with a Cutts as a full factory gun..which wasn't true....but it was still a nice gun..just not an 1800 buck one. Hate it when people try ripping folks off
