Greater Indianapolis Militaria Show (August 31st)

[inshooter97]

Anyone go to this? Not quite a gun show, but there are always some guns for sale. My friend bought a Chinese AK there once. For a long time there was a G43 sniper for sale before an old guy I know bought it.

I always try to go. I collect all things military. I will be there on Saturday.

Thanks. I may try to hit the Oct show.
I'll be on the way to Lexington, KY the 31st to see the Lexington Lab Band.

I found a Gyro for a MK 12 torpedo at this show several years ago.
It is a fun science experiment when you spin it up with a dremel tool and try to move it.

Found and bought it, I don’t remember the price.

Torpedo gyroscope Sperry MK XII-III

A buddy of mine inherited this from his dad. Just thought it would be interesting. Something you do not see everyday. Outer cannister with springs for inner cannister. Sides and bottom. Inner cannister with rubber donut and pad.

A couple of these would give you some elbow room on Salamonie, eh?

Just a reminder that this show will be held this Saturday from 9-3. I'll post pics if I end up buying anything.

I am really looking forward to this show.

Short of becoming Steve Bannon's roommate, I will be there!

This looks fun. Is it a yearly event? I don't think I'll make the August or October events. :/

 

[inshooter97]

Yes, they have it every year.

Funny you should ask.

I inquired about taking a photo of an item and the guy said he'd rather I didn't. May explain why there were a dozen vendors and ten people over the age of 70 there. (and that was the full crowd)

Even the dog that was there war barking to leave.

Sad really, I was hoping for a bigger show. I would probably go to SOS in Louisville if I needed something.

Yeah this show can be hit or miss. I left without buying anything, which is rare for me. I'll still go to the next one.
