Anyone on here going to any gun shows in the coming months?
I'd love to shake hands (and then sanitize, of course - LOL) if
you are!

Last one I attended... Hmm... Jackson, TN maybe? And that's been
a few years... Was a few years there that guns weren't a primary
hobby...

I'm in Tennessee, so will stick to my home state as much as
possible, in case I find a gun I want or my wife wants. :-)
But not against visiting neighboring states. Legally you can
buy a long gun in a neighboring state, if the dealer will
allow it, but I can still buy ammo, shop for parts and
accessories, etc.

So, that being said, I'm in northwest Tennessee, but Memphis
is not out of the question, but not my first choice either
(no offense to my friends from there - it's just not as
fun as it used to be - same technically goes for Nashville!
Even before the riots it was just a party town) - I've thought
about Clarksville area, but would consider bootheel of Missiouri,
or Northeast Arkansas (Jonesboro, Blytheville, etc.) - maybe
even north Mississippi or Alabama.

We used to have probably six a year in town, maybe another six or seven within reasonable driving distance. I think the last one I went to was back in late summer 2019. Can't wait for the Covid bullshit to get over with so life can get back to normal. Wife and I both enjoy our gun shows and it's been too many months since the last one...

In Michigan we're still locked down until the 12 unless Whitler plays games again, but when things are normal I'd usually hit the shows in Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Elkhart, South Bend, and Crown Point. Shows used to be bigger before the internet becasme commonplace, however there's still some deals out there.

I think I've bought ONE firearm at a gun show... Years ago, when I first started buying plinkers, I decided I wanted a Phoenix Arms .22 and when
the show came to town I offered $100 tax and all CASH to the guy and he
took it.

Otherwise, we've bought knives, monkey ball keychains, etc. But the
experience of walking around and looking and talking - that's what it's
all about! :-)

Well I wouldn't turn down a deal, but at the same time I'm looking more
for the experience. :-)

I think that because I would want one I could shoot without
worrying about something happening to it, while I also admire
them for the history element.

Good points. Just as an FYI, they do make special ammo just for
an "original" (or partly original such as one from the CMP), which
is slightly less "hot" than current commercial .30-06 ammo. I
don't think there are any safety issues with an older one if you
are careful to use that type of ammo.

I've read on the interweb that commercial ammo with bullet weights of 150 grains or less (although Hornady has a 168 grain load that is Garand friendl is suitable for feeding to your Garand. I have purchased quite a bit of M2 equivalent ammo from http://www.ammogarand.com and had good results with it. They are also a good source for bandoleers, en bloc clips, slings and some other odds and ends M1.

Bullet weight makes no diffeernce. It's the powder charge that determines the
pressure. 147-150 grain fmj is standard combat bullet, and some
allied nations produced tons of it at the mil spec "Garand friendly" pressure.

I see, so the inertial mass makes no difference in the chamber pressure profile nor does the bearing surface of the heavier weight bullet. You've an amazing grasp of physics. Guess all my reloading manuals showing reduced powder loads for heavier weight bullets are no good and should be thrown out the window. As I understand it, the issue is not the actual peak chamber pressure, but rather when it occurs in relati
