Guns, Guns, Gear, and Guns with Geary Gunderson

I attended the Ohio Valley Military Society Show of Shows, an annual event that is one of, if not the largest, shows focusing on military surplus firearms and militaria.
In 2022, is it worth it to go to the trouble to attend this show?

Thanks, it was a good time. I got some good small items and bayonets but I didn't get any firearms from the show.

I went to the SoS on Friday, had a great show. There is a rule for the show that dealers must stay open till closing time but every year there are some that leave early.

Yea, they were definitely packing up before 3, which is too bad. It was still fun though.

Definitely would like to go someday. Though I kinda wonder if the show’s reputation is what contributes to the prices being on the high side. Comparing gun shows in big city expo centers vs the kind that take place in small, out-of-the way towns, I’ve had better luck lately with the latter.

I agree, my best finds are small town auctions or shows usually. It is still pretty cool and there are some really knowledgeable people there too.

Do you happen to remember how much those G41s were running? Last July, SOS was the same weekend as the Missouri Valley show in KC, so I think they diluted each other. I hope they plan it a little better this year...

I don't remember right off, as I saw probably twenty at the show. I want to say they were $6,000 at the lowest, but it was out of my price range anyways so I didn't pay too close attention after the 6th or 7th one.

@@GearyGunderson I am curious where the market is at on them. As I said, the SOS split off some people who are usually at the Missouri Valley show last year so I only saw one G41 they wanted 8.5K for.
