Thanks to all for your input. I'm not so hesitant to go now. I don't know exactly what my friend was referencing concerning the "military guys", but sounds like that isn't a problem.
Toby, I really appreciate the comments about the scarcity and desirability of what I want. I will keep that in mind, and if I do find what I want I will "buy it now", and look some more afterwards. If I find something better, I can always try to sell the other one. I have contacted most of the big dealers in hammer guns, and made clear exactly what I'm looking for. However, I need to keep in touch with them regularly so they know I am still on the hunt.
It's out there. It will turn up eventually if I'm diligent. If I do go to the show, and I plan to, I will be in the door looking the instant they open on the first day. In that regard ........ is Friday morning the earliest that spectators are allowed to go in?
Thanks again to all, SRH
