NEW SHOW! Marion County Fairgrounds Gun & Knife Show July 16th & 17th

[singlesix]

if caught carrying without it being strapped can get to be a headache . you will have to prove you didn't steal it off a venders table . how many carry their bill of sale ? most venders have a loaded gun under the table , so if you are scared of the big bad guy , one of the venders will protect you .

So the logic being you stole a gun, loaded, and had the correct holster for it? Do tell.

On a lighter note, show is sold out with a waiting list! AC working.

And that's why I only get my knives from Brad or Knife Lady!

How do you spot these characters?

Are the rest of the vendors legit? (or most at least)

 

[Knife Lady]

First off you have to know your knives to be able to spot "fakes" Ask questions about the knife/knives then fact check it. Shop around at other knife dealers and talk to them as well. Second no one else there will have the selection or the quality of knives that Brad and myself offers as well as fair prices. Yes most vendors are legit but it is ALWAYS good to know when some are not.
Thanks Brad for making customers aware of this problem.

Any reports on how this show is going?

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I went this morning. Was a little disappointed in the reloading supplies (prices mainly but not a lot of selection either). But I did buy a knife from Brad!

 

[Osprey]

Was there and it was small but overall it was a decent gun show. This one actually had more guns for sale unlike Kokomo. There was one dealer that had somewhat high prices akin to Gander Mountainish amounts. I did buy from Apache Armaments. I'm beginning to like their barrels and other stuff. A repeat customer! Only thing that they should do in the future is get better lighting. Areas by the wall was dim and hard to really look at their items.

Pretty much my sentiments as well. I picked up a couple of odds and ends but nothing major. Apache had a large assortment but didn't bite the bullet and get anything big from them.

 

[Ricnzak]

Was the older gentleman that sales antique gun parts there?

 

[turnerdye1]

Anybody have a good selection of ammo cans?

I can buy 50cals locally but havent been able to find the larger cans anywhere. Anybody see any of the bigger cans?

Pics or it didn't happen.

I popped in for a while. An OK small show if you need something to do.

Bought a couple Izula from Brad. There were some deals, there were some crazy high prices. CCI 22LR that's on sale @ Gander Mountain (of all places) right now for $8.99 was going for $18 on one table. But there were also a few Ruger 10/22 for ~$225.

I had my eye on a old but still new in box 1st gen SS Ruger SP101 .327 Federal Magnum but holly cow @ $729!!! They can't possibly be worth that much more than the same thing in .357.

 

[Sgt7330]

I enjoyed going, it was small but worth the $5. However, I didn't see a single US Rifle Cal 30 M1 in the whole place. Been keeping my eyes open for a Winchester.......

 

[wtburnette]

Worth $5, but very small. Had to look hard to find any good deals. Saw several Glock 42's going for $500 and similar deals. Ammo prices were atrocious. At the end of the show I saw a Glock 42 for $379.99, cheaper than pretty much anywhere, even online, so I picked it up. Very happy (or at least the wife will be for her birthday)

And it's already tasted first blood! Unfortunately it was mine... cutting some insulation on some wire while putting up a security light and just barely poked myself with the tip of the blade. I can attest that it is indeed sharp!

Carrying could include it just being in a pocket. A holster is not a requirement

 

[Drakkule]

Official count is 181 tables. Lots of cool stuff walking around.
