Portland, Oregon gunshow

I went to my local gun show today and it was a bust for Lugers. I only saw one Luger and it was a very expensive Swiss that has been holding down a display case for over a year now.

I did not even see a single Mauser carbine. I would like to get a few of the variations these short rifles that were made for primarily South American countries.

One thing thing that I found ineresting was an Air-Soft Mauser C96 carbine. It was all metal with very nice wood. But at $200.00 I had to pass on a toy to shoot plastic pellets. But it was tempting. It looked and felt very real. That is probably about as close I will get to owning a C-96 carbine!

I also saw an 1894 Brazilian Mauser. I have a soft spot for 7x57 Mausers.

I did not see Dwight Gruber. He is usually there but we have missed each other the last couple of shows.
