Here's one on YouTube by NutNFancy on the 308 American. He gave it a favorable review... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Umn6kFpL-E4&feature=g-user-u

I'd recommend "Man on Wire" which is about the guy who tightrope walked at the top of the Twin Towers back in 1974. Goes from their planning to execution to what happened afterwards. More interesting that you might think... Also worth a look is "Restrepo" in which some embedded journalists (one of whom is Sebastian Junger who wrote the book, A Perfect Storm, from which the movie was based on) follows a platoon deployed to the Korengal valley in the Hellmand province of Afganistan.

I believe it was as it had the reproduction sniper scope with no iron sights. I don't recall the vendor but it was in the Hall B (the 2nd room in the back) all the way against the back wall. I think they only had 2 or 3 tables so they were one of the smaller vendors.

Wow Captain, I should've gone shopping with you for a K98, that sounds like a great deal to me. I paid $400 for a RC about a month ago and it didn't come with anything you got. I ended up spending another $50 just to buy the rod, sling, capture screws and a replacement front band spring.

Was at this show today from around 12:30 till 5 when they closed. Big show, said that it was up to 1100 tables, not sure it was that much but was more than the usual 700 that it's been the last few times. Plenty see, so much so that I usually go through the entire place and didn't have enough time to do that today, got maybe halfway through the second loop through. Saw lots of the regular vendors and a few new ones. Not too much jumped out at me as far as deals for firearms, though I don't quite recall seeing as many M1A's for sale here as in the past. A plethora of AR's as usual with some ok prices. Did see some russian capture K98's selling for $350. 91/30 Mosin Nagants did seem to be edging up in price though, think the cheapest one I saw was for $120. Was tempted to get a Gibbs Rifle Co. reproduction of the Springfield 1903 that they were asking $1K for. Plenty of assessories for sale as well as plenty of knife vendors. Alas, did not see many good prices for ammo in my opinion. Only things that seemed like worth buying were milsurp ammo or any of the russian steel case stuff (tula, wolf, etc...). Myself, I pickup some milsurp 7.5mm Swiss and 8mm Mauser ammo, a mag for my 50AE Desert Eagle and a 15rd mag for my M1A and a new shotgun forend for my Mossberg 500. Not too bad.

I purchased a used Navy Arms lever patterned after the Winchester 1873 in 357 at the last Valley Forge gun show at the old location. The barrel needed a cleaning real bad but after some work, looks and shoots pretty good. I like that it's in 357 since I can feed it 38 special when I'm feeling cheap. One thing I would ask is how far are you planning to shoot with it? If you want to go a fair distance, then I'd suggest you go with one of the rifle calibers like 30-30 otherwise if you just want to shoot at short distances then one of the pistol calibers would be sufficient. One thing is that you will see a few levers at the show but they aren't as plentiful as the black rifles. I'll be going too tomorrow, hope it won't be too crowded...

2nd on 13 assassins (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1436045/). About honor, sacrifice, and justice all served up with a hefty dose of katanas. I'd also recommend the original French version of La Femme Nikita (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100263/). I always liked this better than the US remake or the US TV series. If you'd like a sense of the Hong Kong style shoot'em ups, Hard Boiled (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104684/) by John Woo starring Chow Yun Fat is an oldie by goodie.
