I've bought a few pieces at gun shows.  Snagged a Remington 540X in .22LR at a
show in Pennsylvania, scored a decent deal on a 91/30 at a show in New York, a
few other good deals.  I have to admit that my list of "must have" guns has
been depleted quite a bit, particularly since my wife managed to get me some
1944 vintage M1s (one Garand, one carbine - because she didn't know which one I
really wanted).  I'm like you, mostly dig on the knives and accessories at the
shows.  The guns themselves are usually overpriced at the gun shows, the
vendors thinking they'll find a big score.  I have a select few that I actually
buy from, those are folks I have dealt with in the past and can trust that a)
they'll be at the next show in case b) something goes wrong.
