Picked up some neat stuff, at our "No Gun" gunshow today

Post by jdad »

My gun club had a "No Gun" gunshow today. Pretty much a gun stuff flea market. I scored some cool stuff, for next to nothing.

The real prize was the Mossberg "Spotshot" spotting scope and base. I also got 2 nearly full cans of spoiled vintage powder, 2 Redfield 75 target sights, an Al Freeland rimfire box, a Canjar palm rest, a bunch of vintage rimfire ammo, and either a Lyman or Unertl rear mount.

What does one do with "spoiled" powder?

Yeah, but let me rephrase: why would one knowingly BUY spoiled powder?

jdad,

That rimfire box is something I've seen in pics but never in person. Wanted one since I saw the first pic. Someday.

Otto,

Some of us like to collect the old powder cans. Notice how small and compact they are. Not the great huge wasteful plastic bottles we have now.
And they are made from good old metal.

We just like to collect them.

Joe

I collect vintage cans. The guy gave them to me since the powder was bad. :wink:

I have an old cartridge box that looks a lot like that. My Gradnfather made it. I'll have to get a picture of it.

Neat stuff!

Was this at Tri-County? If it was I forgot all about it, and I was there shooting my .44 yesterday.

Yes it was. 9am-2pm at the indoor range.

PM me if you ever want to meet & shoot or if you want to try silhouette. I'm the assistant match director, for the smallbore program. You shoot 1 match, bigbore/pistol caliber or smallbore, and you get a silhouette book. Get the book and you qualify to shoot steel, on the black powder range, instead of paper over on the 100yd, "wild west", range. :wink:

How do you go about getting two Redfield 75s for "next to nothing?" Ransom? Gunpoint? Terroristic threatening? Any help would be greatly appreciated. :D But seriously, nice bunch of stuff. A couple years ago, I walked into this old pawn shop out in the country. They had some old scopes in a glass case and I could tell one of them was a steel tube Weaver. I asked to see it and it turned out to be a Marksman 4x with clear glass and not a single scratch on the steel. When he told me he wanted $20 for it, I whipped out my wallet, dropped a 20 and slid my wallet back in my pocket before the bill hit the counter. :D
There's two kinds of lever action rifles - those designed by J.M. Browning, and those that are inferior.
