Oaks Show

Recommended Posts

Well I got back a few hours ago empty handed. I was looking at a few SKS's which was what I really wanted but I felt for what they were the prices were way too high. All in the $380-400 range. I even saw a Norinco without a bayo for 389. Which in my mind is about 100 too much. I brought a shotgun that I was going to sell but ended up leaving it in the trunk. Guess I shoulda brought it in just to get rid of it. Anyone else go and have better luck??

I had the same experience at the Oaks show. I went there looking for an inexpensive sks, and left disappointed. The show had plenty of Mosin 91/30's and ARs, but not much else. I did find a .22lr AR 15 round mag, so I got at least one thing on my list. (that and beef jerky)

yeah I guess so. If I was smart enough to bring my shotgun in and sell it I would have been more inclined to just spend the money and get one. But I left it in the trunk because I didn't see anyone else walking in with their own stuff to sell. Guess I could always try here.

What a great show. I was not there 5 minutes when I saw a table outside the mens room with a guy selling reloading equipment which you never see at a gun show. This is what I bought:

 

Redding Competition Seater Die for .223. $35. Retail for almost $100.

 

PACT Digital Reloading Scale (NIB with paperwork,weights and powder pan) $75. Retail for over $100.

 

RCBS Trim Mate Case Prep Center $55. Retails for over $100

 

Dillon 550 Die Head $5

 

Wilson Case Gages 45 acp/9mm/.308 $10 each

 

1lb Hodgedon H335 Powder $12

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
