Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Tulsa Gun Show

Thanks for putting this together Sig, nice to meet you too Sir.

If I'm not sawbriar deep getting outsmarted by another big buck this November, I'll be there.

You can by-god sure shoot it Sambo, when another get together happens, let me know and I'll bring it.

Several here at the 'Fire have fired that old 577 Nitro, IIRC it has left an impression on a couple.

, I didn't see any whores either.

been plenty in MO since. But not at that location.

hell yes , critters won't know what hit them.

Xactly! You get to another small bore shoot at the OFGC bonce a rock off my doghouse, I'll drive up for a watch visit.

watch, 😕 I'll have you signed up and hand you a custom built 40x to shoot.

OH holy crap, the pressures on now.

Suspension roof.....I'll be damned.

Never seen such a thing.

I'm sure it is but it doesn't look safe to me.

A smart way to eliminate all the pillars.

Anybody drag anything home?

G500 mention sky high prices. Kinda seeems the norm for most shows anymore. Folks more interested in showing off their wares than selling them it seems.

Hope the gun tables out numbered the sword and jerky vendors! Lol.

I bought an SWFA 6X and my wife bought up a bunch of red AR paraphernalia

But prices weren't very competitive.

I even made one vender mad and he tried to run me off when I tried to haggle a better price on a rifle.....

Sales must not be his thing

5.7 miles of tables is a lot to soak up

that's just why anymore if I see something I could be interested in and it's priced way too high I just keep walking and find somebody else it's closer to the ballpark. I guess I still might make an exception if it was something really hard to find

True

Since you weren't there, it's one less to worry about.

Well, that was a waste of 8hrs and $40. What a pathetic event. I don't know what happened but something changed over the last 2 yrs. if you didn't need something for an AR , an led light, a tazer, jerky or something that is overpriced, there wasn't anything worth the cost of admission. I found one guy in the whole place selling bulk plated bullets. Everyone else wanted to sell you 50 or 100 at a ridiculous price or just remanufactued loaded rounds. Someone had 500 small pistol primers for 125.00. Powder was everywhere but powder valley was absent. At some point, someone has convinced the gun dealers that thier crap is made out of gold instead of steel. The place is not full of vendors like it used to be either. They may have 4000 tables in there but a percentage are unoccupied. They used to have armorers there that would install hand gun sights, aftermarket barrels or accesories. Not anymore. I took my hand gun in there to have a new set of sights put on. Nope, not today. They got my money for the last time.

Gun shows are mostly just for entertainment these days.

The real bargains are found on the WWW

I was standing inside the show about 20 yards from the front door when I heard the shot. I walked over there and it appeared to me that one of the gun checkers was trying to install a lock tie on the gun when it discharged. His left hand was bloody. The report didn't sound that loud so I thought it was probably a small caliber handgun.

I did confirm with Tulsa PD there was an AD in front of the building yesterday afternoon but the victim/shooter was okay. They would not mention any details and I didn't press for information.

I've had a table at the Tulsa show since 1985 or so and I can't recall as large a crowd as was present Saturday. Today was quite normal but yesterday was completely off the chart. It was mid afternoon before you could see beyond one row. Not a good day for sellers, however. Our show was very average, at best.

Guess most of my Tulsa show experience was working with reloading specialist, and was very busy start to end do I didn't notice how the crowd was. Sat. Didn't seem all that crowed to me.bug I have become a custom to very crowded Springfield shows.nog bear ad big or as msny people but much smaller area it us held in .

Sorry Gunner, I ended up getting stuck having to baby sit my idiot brother in law at the show.
Didn't leave me any time to hook up with y'all. Sorry I missed meeting y'all. I'll be back next year, though.

At least I did end up getting a smoking deal on a new Randall Model # 1 Fighter in stainless steel with leather wrapped handle.
And I also found a un-fired pristine 1957 model Ruger Single Six .22 in the scarce / low production Light Weight version.
