Went to 2 gunshows in the last 2 weeks. Walked one in San Antonio for half a day. It was really kinda slow. Lotta people, not much trading. Had a table at the Corpus Christi show. Kinda slow too. Gues the gun ban buying frenzy from last year is over. All I got on my stuff was low ball offers, like I always give. Lotta guys walking in with high dollar guns like Kinbers, Glocks, Sigs and even saw a few Colt .45 autos. Guess they were selling safe queens for the tax free weekend sales. That didn't help any either. Not much Wally world stuff coming in like usual. I can do o.k. on those.
Anyway, I finally got a guy on Sat. with a large rifle case full of odd AR parts, Contender barrels, optics, an old,, but like new H&R .22 break topreovlever in nickle finish, and a broke azz Armscor M1600 .22 rifle. Kinda an AR looking thing that is made in the Phillipines. Had afew and they worked well. The guns were originally used by Phillipine resistance fighters and were made in open bolt full atuto. these guns were impported by Squires Bingham/Armscor as the M-1600, an AR look alike. Also make in a folder and in a hunting rifle config. The ones I had wer very reliable and accurate. Apparently there were a few lemons. This guy said it worked once and locked up. He wanted 50 for it and 2 bills for the litle revolver. I told him to get real and take a bill for the revo and 25 bucks for the rifle. He responded with 150 for both. Told him if he kicked in somethng else. He tried a resty Conteder barrel, but I don't do Contenders anymore. So, I piced the AR-10 upper. He ws o.k. with that.
Got a pic of the broke azz rifel here. It is like new cause he said it was in a closet since the eaerly 90s. Guess it has a broke or jammed trigger assembley cuase the bolt works. Trigger is locked up. And got a pic of the AR receiver. No pic of the H&R .22. It was like new and a friend decided he wanted it bad enough to give 2 for it. So, now I have a broke azz .22 rifle to tinker with and an AR-10 upper receiver that I don't know what to do with. Guess I can become an AR assembler as I call them. But I am too lazy and hate to wait. Maybe sell it or use it for a paper weitht. It is a bit old school, an A2 type. An AR parts dealver verified it was a DPMS like the guy said. Maybe worth as much as a bill if someone really wanted it. It's o.k. anyway. I got it and the rifle for less than nothing.
The AR-10 paperweight. It' appears to be in great shape.
Guess I could try assembling a rifle, but I already have an H&K clone in .308 that I can't afford to feed.
Oh yeah, Scored some .22 ammo. Haven''t seen any around here at Wally World in over a year. Got this off a guy that came 200 miles to sell some ammo he hoarded. He found that lealers were selling bricks for 60 bucks and he had been getting more last year. So he was down to 50 bucks and selling nothing. I offered him30 for one brick. He said o.k. if I bought 2. I could live with that. Didn't need that much cause I still have 2 bricks stashed. But what the hell. More is better.

Should have bought the other 2 bricks too, but didn't. Sent my buddy back to get it and he had already sold the other 2.
