Charlie,
You might find better deals online than at the shows. The last couple shows I went to were way over priced. There were way too many "weekend country boys**" there trying to score a good deal - and the dealers knew it and raised prices.
The last good show I went to was at the FL St. Fairgrounds off of I-4. I picked up a AK47 and about 5000rnds of ammo, plus (20) additional 30rnd mags. I think I spent under $600 for everything, but that was back in '91 or '92. I sold the hole kit & kaboodle with the last 1000rnds of ammo 2-3 years ago for $650.
**Definitions:
"weekend country boys": Well-to-do city slicker folks with upstate cabins that they bring their firearms to that their wives forbidden them to have. Generally know nothing of firearms other than they go bang. Generally is married to anti-gun soccermom. Can be seen commuting in BMW's, Mercedes, SUV's that have never seen dirt - or in mini-van toting kids around when the soccermom is at dildo party. |

Thanks for the advice, Bobby...
I also could use some advice on a scope; everything I look at is either somewhat cheap or horribly expensive; I just need to be able to see the target downrange. Any brand that strikes your fancy?
EvilCheeze: Do you remember what scope(s) (if any) were fitted to your service weapon?

Range would be from 50 meters to 400 meters (So they can run but not too far), Mostly target practice/Home defense. $200 price range but can go a bit higher depending quality. Picatinny rail-mount....

Yea... Iron Sites. 
And come on... I could hit a man sized target AT LEAST 9 out of 10 times with iron sites in a pron position from 500 yards (or 457 meters).
Man up, use what came with the weapon  |

I can't SEE the iron sights because of my vision; if I use the bottom part of my bifocals, the target is blurry and if I use the distance part, the sights are blurry. However, with a cheezy Powerline scope, I can see the target clearly....
