Small-ish show at the American legion hall in Marsing Idaho. Coming up in two weeks. Worth the visit. Also grab lunch at spot pizza afterwards, 10 bucks for a personal pizza salad and soda.
Similar in size to this weekends homedale Idaho show. Support your local venues. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Wife and l will be taking in the Boise Gun Show next weekend and Marsing the week after. For those that have not been to the "Boise" Gun Show, it's actually held in the Ford Center in Nampa, Idaho.
By the way, here's a link to a great resource with a calendar of upcoming gun shows in any region you wish: https://gunshowtrader.com/gun-shows/boise-gun-show/ |

The Homedale show was pretty crowded for a Sunday. Not a lot of good deals around.... picked up some old ALCAN powder for $6 a can, and a box of round balls for my BP gun. Ammo, primers, and powder prices were bordering on silly and I feel sorry for reloaders that were caught short.
I ended up buying a decent Damascus SxS, just to spend some money. I know the guy that was selling it and he was doing so on behalf of a friend's widow, so I didn't mind chipping in for a good cause.

I found a browning 1910 i’ve been in the market for for some time but he was a little high on his price and it had an incorrect later magazine. I offered 50 bucks less than asking and he didn’t counter so i walked away from it. I’ve tried dealing with that guy in the past and he’s a difficult guy to deal with so i don’t waste my time with him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I think i may have seen you buying those. Around 10:30 this morning? I heard a guy talking about alcan powder at the table behind where i was standing. Yea prices are goofy right now. I’ve been doing really well every month though. Today’s show was a bust for me but i’m sure i’ll find something good next weekend. Take care and good luck Sir! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

That was me.
Even though the frenzy is in high gear, I always seem to find something I can use that is under the radar. That ALCAN is a good example. It is excellent power, but overlooked because no one knows what to do with it. I do......

We're pretty much shoulder to shoulder here at the shows, and no masks..... well, one or two folks are wearing them at the shows, but they are very much the exception. The big Boise show in Nampa has been limiting the crowd to 300 at a time in the past but Sunday's are low attendance, so that's when I go. Ada County no longer has a mask mandate in place, except the city of Boise has decided to keep theirs in effect. I don't go to Boise, so eff them. Interestingly enough, The Boise show is in the city of Nampa, in Canyon County. Go figure.....

Boise show was awesome this past weekend. A lot of really nice guns. I ended up grabbing a new FN Five seveN pistol from Utah Phil for $950 otd. Great price on a great gun. I Juuuust missed a mint preban Colt lightweight carbine for 1200. Guy in front of me bought it while i was waiting to examine it. That was a steal and i would have definitely bought it.

I went to the show on Sunday - ammo and primers were stupid high-priced, and I didn't see anyone buying. Lots of guns and a good crowd, but I didn't see anything I wanted bad enough to spend a lot of money on. I did buy a box of 700 #11 percussion caps, and a pair of vintage simulated staghorn pistol grips, but that was it. My buddy picked up a very pretty S&W M27 for a decent price.
I've been looking for a nice shootable Damascus or fluid steel SxS shotgun that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, but those spendy Parkers and Smiths are a tad out of my league. I had an old Savage 311 20 gauge that I loved, but sold it a few years ago when CA went to steel only. Had I known I was moving, I'd have kept it. So, the search continues.....

I went saturday. Super crowded. Guy had a walther p88 I wanted but i didn’t bring enough cash this show because i didn’t expect to find anything other 1k that i’d want. I suspect he’ll have it next time i see him as these aren’t real popular with the general pop and it’s 1300$ so most aren’t interested. Bought a few more AUG mags from kermit.
