I pretty much only buy brass at gun shows- and sometimes some used reloading equipment. I also pick up cheap slings- I like the web garand slings, and also stripper clips, and sometimes gun parts that I need and can't find anywhere else. I can usually get brass for the same price that I would get it from midway but don't have to pay shipping. Alot of the guns at shows are junk- shot out rifles, milsurps that are poorly sporterized, sporting rifles that have the look like the stock was refinished in the owners dusty basement. The rest are usually overpriced- I see garands that go for $800-1000 that I could get from CMP for under $600, and other milsurp rifles and accessories that are usually overpriced by at least 50%.

Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms... who's bringing the chips?
