Thought I would give a report on the Amarillo Gun Show..

If this is in the wrong place, please feel free to move it.

Lever guns were outrageous for the most part but some deals existed. 94's in 38-55 were all going for around $1800 despite the conditions, while they had a 32-40 rifle in better than average go for $1000. Savage 99's were in the $700-$2000 depending on model. Marlins were going for $350 for nice 336 in 30-30 while other more difficult to find models were in the $600-$1000 range. Did see two marlin scopes that were brand new in the tubes for $125 each. I have never seen a scope in a cardboard and metal tube before but the tubes were marked Marlin in big red diamonds. I don't recall the particular models. There were no 86 winnies at all and only 1 model 66 that was fairly nice for $2400. 94src's were priced at well over a thousand and most were parts guns. Not one mold in the whole place but lots of reloading supplies for fair prices so that was all I walked out of there with.

I hate to plug a gun show but if anybody out there finds thereself in the area tomorrow, its worth the $5 entry fee for powder and primers.

Amarillo used to be a good gun show, I left the area in 1983, can not comment on now.

A 66 for 2400???????? I have not seen one for under 3.5 K in about 4 years. What condition? musket, rifle, or carbine?
I sold, about 4 months ago, a 38-55 Winny in the 11xxx range for about 900-1000 (part of a swap for an 1873 so hard to figure actual price) at an ohio gun show. maybe I should head out to Amarillo!!

Carbine. Had some scratches cut into the stock about an 1/8th of an inch deep for somebody's identification but were small. Other than that, it was about 50% or better.

On the 38-55's, I don't know that they were selling them at those prices but that is what they were marked. I would have loved that 32-40 but I am on the broke side of life right now.
