    That is a very interesting thought. I remember when a member of the Sask. Gun Collectors Assoc. a Gun Show was a SHOW and if something sold it went between displayers and never the public.

    I have a pretty extenisve ammunition collection and would like to take it to a show but how do you justify paying well over a hundred dollars for table rent? Our shows were free to exhibitors and the "gate" charges made the show break even. Times have changed.
    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I also remember in the early 60's when we started the AACCA and CHAS in Alberta if you got caught selling something or buying something within the show you were out the door. It was a GUN SHOW!!!! plain and simple. If you had a deal going you had to take it outside. After the first show we ran in Edmonton it took me almost a year to run down all the leads for items that people wanted to sell, trade or even give away. Many, just to get something out of the house. How times have changed.....Now many at the shows can ask the vendors: "what flavour beef jerky do you sell" and "are those genuine "Beanie Babies"???"

    I have a M82 Cooey as well as a civillian M75?? Cooey.
    I quite like them, but they have absolutley terrible triggers, is yours the same??.

    Would be interested to know if they are all like this.
    I'm in the process of trying to get them a bit better.

    The trigger on my 82 is pretty decent (I don't think any are very good) and thus a accurate gun. Possibly I find the trigger acceptable as I grew up and still shoot my Cooey 39 which has a similar trigger. I also have the "peep sight" for it and will have to install it one of these days. Haven't shot the 82 in over a year so should take it out soon.

    I sincerely appreciate your offer however am worried the shipping costs would be outrageous.

    I have spent the last three years finding these so think I will hold on to them for a little longer.
