I set up a table at the fun show today with the intent of trying to thin out the stuff I'm not likely to use again . After getting the table set up and things priced ( while trying to keep dealers with cash in hand away ) . I noticed what looked like a magazine suitable for a twenty-two magnum poking out of the bottom of a rifle not far from the table I was at .
Not that I "need" another rifle mind you , I just had to go and look if nothing else to satisfy my curiosity . A rimfire magnum it was not , and not even close ... turns out it was a Winchester model forty-three chambered in 218 Bee . Nice overall condition complete with a reciever sight fortunately , it wasn't chambered in 32-20 or it would have been a rough day ( bad enough as it was ) . I was rather glad when I saw it sold later that afternoon so I could stop looking at the used dies another guy had , ammo at another table , bullets elsewhere ...........
I got out of the place rather cheaply today only added a few primers and a couple of magazines to my going home bag , hey , I think I even sold some stuff !! ;)
