Gonna take a wild guess and say it's in Dugger.
Never heard of Dugger....
Gonna take a wild guess and say it's in Dugger.
Enjoyed the show, but I'm easily entertained. Saw a Ruger 77/22 walnut and blue, no sights with a no name scope for $450 asking. Would not have thought that a deal 5 years ago. Anybody else with cell phone problems? Disclaimer; like this show but it is small and well attended. Must love your fellow manliness.
I made it to the show this morning and I have mixed emotions about it. I had hopes of finding some older revolvers, but pickings were slim in that department.
The one good thing that came from my visit is that I picked up some steel spinner type targets from the guys set up in the corner of the building. I told them I shot a lot of magnum loads and they hooked me up with the best target to fit my needs. I tried them out when I got home using some light 38 special loads and I will say they are sturdy. Those light loads could only get them swinging a little bit.
There were several people there but I was expecting that.
We got in and out fairly early.
I saw those old S&W revolvers but didn't have enough funds.
I spent my money on a Hakim.
We saw several nice, old 22 RF rifles.
There was a guy at one of the more forward tables in the gym area with two decent S&W .38/.44's (Heavy Duty) for sale...he wanted a stiff price for them though. And I bought one of the swinger targets also! I got the mild steel one and tried out some of my lead reload 9mm's and .45 ACP on it this afternoon. 9's went fine, but the .45's gave me small dents in the steel..probably should have opted for the AR steel plate one, but for $20 I'm happy!
LOTS OF PEOPLE!! Wasn't expecting a small show like that to draw that big of a crowd!
was you the guy i was talkin' to about the Hakim's?
Wish I'd known about this show. I'd have come to the show and then gone over to Red Bird for some Jeepin'![/QUOTE
It's there today. You need to get in there and see what you can find.
May have been. Are you the guy that showed me how to field strip one and how to modify MG13 magazines, which 8mm ammo to use ect?
I quickly found out today that Dugger is not a hot-bed for cellular activity. As for the crowd, it was almost too packed for me. I don't exactly have what you would call cat like reflexes, so bumping and banging into folks all moring while not being able to see anything makes for a poor outing.
Another thing that made it tough was how narrow the aisles were. Combine that with the folks that were in wheelchairs and you had some major jams in parts of the buildings.
Our aisles are 8 ft wide because we measure them. If you think those are small trying going to any other small show and walk through there, some of their aisles are half the size for Dugger's Show. I cannot help that the show was packed. My father advertises very well. I am over the table system we have and I make every row the same size, by the way you can drive a truck though each one (no joke). As far as cell service, I apologize but that is out our control. All of our venders are happy and are coming back next year, also many people told us how good our show was and they wish we would have more then one a year and have BY FAR THE BEST FOOD.
thank you and good day,
