Oh that's good news. Bless their hearts, really! Thieving, money grubbing, potland and multco keep raising the prices of many such things under their thumbs.

The show was excellent, and the Fairgrounds Building is wonderful! Excellent lighting, and great AC! Wide walkways, and plenty of room! It was a superb show, with no shortage of great guns and accessories for sale there!
I picked up a very nice 1880's vintage Marlin Ballard action, complete and ready for a new barrel and stocks. Also a Vietnam era Western Bowie fighting knife that is in excellent shape considering it's jungle use. Also had a guy stop by my display table and offer up a neat and rare H.M. Pope bullet lube pump that I'll be eternally grateful to own!
My Schoyen Ballard display at the show. Three Schoyen rifles, and some tools:

This was my first OAC show and it was better than I could have expected. Good stuff on the tables, great people to chat with, and wonderful displays with a ton of incredible information.

Good selection of reloading equipment and niche collectibles.

The venue was spacious, well lit and comfortable. Parking was free. The show filled the floor, and for reference was about a quarter of the size of a WAC show.
