how many of you have come away from a gun show with a surprise or finding something you didnt expect?
last year, i went to the Dallas Arms collectors gun show - i was looking for another o/u 12 guage shotgun so I'd have 2 at the trap range - which would allow one of my sons to shoot with me
i found a guy at a table that was selling his fathers gun collection - the father had died....he had a browning that was exactly what i was looking for...it was in really good condition and we bartered to a price that i was comfortable with
later after getting home - i started doing some research - trying to figure out when it was made, etc
discovered it's a Superposed Lightning made in 1964, a year after I was born...the stock was cut in the past and has been rebuilt so thats the only flaw - the rest of the gun is VERY clean
anybody have any similar gunshow experiences?
