Well, I’ve done about all the damage I can do at the gun show. Did a little wheeling and dealing with Johnny Trochmann. Wound up with a backpack full of the Israeli combat dressings in three different sizes. What were some of the interesting things at the show?

Well, I saw my very first Kel-Tec RFB in the wild. Also one of the somewhat rare Sabre Defense Steyr AUG carbines. Saw a few used complete uppers that I thought about picking up to finish off the bucket of lowers I have. Other than that, not much else jumped out at me. All things considered I was a pretty good boy and spent very little. Well, except for the 1911, but I’ve got a buyer lined up for that and I’ll make enough off of it to cover the stuff I did pick up at the show.

Very little ammo at this show, although AR’s, AKs and magazines were well represented. Saw no FALs, which was a bit unusual.

So, that was the biggest show in Montana (and the oldest…56 years theyve been doing that one) and now i can look forward to the smaller shows that will be coming up through the fall and winter. All in all, I had a pretty good time and I’m very pleased I didnt see anything i wanted bad enough to compel me to do something stupid.
