WHAT A LET DOWN,,,,,,,,,,
I was severely disappointed, and in my view the organisers need to be done for false advertising.
Any other members have comments on this ?
Can't wait for next year
In fact, next year I will probly drive or fly down for the Melbourne one instead.

It was advertised on the net as "The Brisbane Gun Show", and was at the Ipswich Show grounds.
The ad boasted that it was the only gun show in Australia that was able to have C Class firearms on show by dealers.
That part of it certainly was NOT correct.

Lots of bayonets at one stall and a few with bits and pieces, great if you're after parts for a mosin Nagant firing pin or bolt handle.
I picked up a good deal on a type 53 carbine (Chinese mosin Nagant) and my father got a flintlock Kentucky rifle.
Looking forward to shot show next month.
