Of course, I managed to find more than ammo...
DeSantis Nemesis pocket holsters for J-frames and P3AT (it was about time the $8 Uncle Mike's holsters were replaced by something better)
NES window decal (going on the back window just below the Harley logo...)
HKS Speedloader for S&W Model 17 (it was too cute to pass up)
(And the ammo)
200 rounds of .38 Special 148 gr lead wadcutter
100 rounds of .380 ACP 95 gr lead wadcutter round nose
80 rounds of 5.56 55 gr FMJ
Prices for AR-15 variants appear to be stabilizing; AK-47 clones are still pretty volatile and are (IMHO) a couple hundred bucks north of YHGTBSM. $700 - $800 for a WASR-10? Uh, nofuckin'way. Ammo's still in the stratosphere - $150 for 500 rounds of 7.62X39mm. Ouch. I remember when it was $2 a box of 20 rounds and $80 for 1,000 rounds... Sure wish I'd bought more...
Side note to Tam: There are still plenty of Colt Pocket Autos in pristine condition out there. Problem is, they appear to be made out of solid platinum or something given the prices they are commanding (or at least asking).
At least the jerky was tasty!
That is all.

Hmm... Looks like a good time was had.
Years ago I traded my Mossberg crew served shotgun with it's laser pointer and on-board cup holder in on a Remington 870 express hunting/trap gun.
Now I'm kicking myself in the butt (no mean trick when you are my age) as I try to recreate a decent house gun with that 870.
Of course, I'll blog my travails(g). Yesterday I patterned buckshot from the 28" full choke barrel.... now to find a short barrel replacement that doesn't cost as much as a whole news shotgun.
I DID look at the new Mossbergs, and they are not the same firearm I bought my boy as a Christmas present years ago. Plastic bits.... and the first one I picked up broke in my hands, right there at the store. Not impressive, and certainly not like my old Mossbergs of long past.
I was going to give you grief about your piror gun show post - you know, the one completely devoid of gunshow bootie! Ammo is tough these days. Even ammoman is bare - but have you thought about one of those thar reloadamajiggys? I can donate a single stager if you like
A good gunny weekend here. I spent 5 glorious hours at the range yesterday. I just recently joined the club here after 10 years unasociated. The reason for the trip ? Friday, I was smiled upon by the three greatest NFA saints - St. Eugene Stoner, St. Wayne Daniel, and St. Phil Dater.
I can't believe they want $600 for a Wasr 10 AK. Mine was $379 3 years ago and I expect delivery of a Romanian PSL in 54r this week that will cost $750 when all is said and done.That seems like a bargain comparatively. Which gun show did you go to?
I'm looking foreward to the one in Concord, NH.this coming April.
Even those thar reloadamajiggys are costing more these days. I got to go to a trade show last week and on the way back swung past the gunny superstore to look around. Bags of brass cost more then the loaded ammo did a year ago.
Glad you explained that window decal; I was a bit confused about why you'd want to trumpet your affiliation with the "Nintendo Entertainment System." :-)
"YHGTBSM"
I feel stupid asking...but can you define the above for me. Thanks!
No need to feel stupid at all - as I used to tell my students, the only stupid question is the one you don't ask...
YHGTBSM = You Haev Got To Be Shitting Me.
