Son and I went to a local clubs gun show today, its a small show and I know a few of the people there so its always good even f just to catch up. My little Geo tracker chair did excellent in the club house.
I did well picked up a set of rem 44-40 3 die steel die set ( $15.00) and a lymann check weight set ($10.00) My son picked up a cv .50 cal inline ($125.00) and a ruger bolt rifle in 300 black out ($325.00) with scope. The seller claimed this rifle was won in a raffle and never fired. Both are good clean rifles and in very good shape.
Since I was "motorized" I got to carry everything LOL. The small stuff went in the carry pouch under the seat and was forgotten the rifles rested on the foot rest between my feet and leaned against the seat Actually worked pretty good. Seen a few friends and talked to others Was a good day.
Several interesting items were there that caught my eye. There was a nice highwall in 22-250 with what I would call a medium heavy barrel rifle was around 10Lbs. Original Win high wall most of the case hardening still showed clearly blueing was in good shape unertal blocks on it but no scope. Another was a High wall in 22 long rifle in very good shape and a lymann 15X target spot on top. Wood needed cleaned up but metal was very clean. These were both around the $3000.00 mark though.
In reloading equipment a lot of moulds lee lyman ohaus and nei but nothing I needed. A powder Scales caught my eye that was very unique, A herters analytical ballistic laboratory scales. All cast iron construction and heavy probably 10-15 lbs. it was wider than most scales. No knife edghes and vee berings. the beam had a fine wire thru it wirth a small spring on one side providing tension. Normall beam Like the old redding and other scales though. and oil dampened. On the pointer end there was a small lever that stopped dampened the beam from swinging and it really did work well. Set a small weight in it and pulled lever down to catch the beam let it go and inside 3 seconds the beam was still and correct with out the oil. The asking price for this scales was $75.00. There was an Ohaus powder measure new old stock still in the box with instructions and very clean a nice looking measure. Hopper looked to hold 1 1/2 lbs powder and was clean clear no cracks of discoloration. Was an old Lymann pot missing cord and some of the valve parts, Gentleman aid it worked and he would make a good deal on it. Several herters presses the big heavy c presses had rams for universal shell holders. One was $45.00 the other was $100.00. Several rock chuckers on tables along with a few lee presses and equipment. There was a unique turret press flush mount with a big heavy square bases ide handle and linkage inside the base, 6 hole turret. I didn't see a price on this one.
All in all it was a nice day with my son and we had a great day. Saw some friends and made some new aquaintences.
