Shipshewana Gun Show

[DragonGunner]

I will be there setting up Friday it's a good show I too hope the weather cooperates.I like this one better than FW show.

So is this better than the Ft. Wayne one, that seems to get worse with time....

Does anyone know if the guy who sells all the flares will be there? I saw him at the 1500 last year and he had a huge table set up with all kinds of heavy-duty flares. I bought a bunch of handheld ones for like a buck a piece and they work great (even though they are all expired). He had some parachute flares that I want to check out.

Is that the guy with the exotic shot gun shells? He is usually there.

Looks like me an Glock17 man, an another friend will be there Sat a.m....I'll be wearing a "Keep Indiana Zombie Free" T-shirt...not really looking for anything...except maybe a all USGI M1A...not likely to see that though....an good deal on it...maybe a Nagant pistol, cheap....looking never hurts...much.

yea that guy had some flares too but good to know he will be there too. the guy i bought mine from had a pretty big table set up in the larger room at the 1500 last year.

Every Shipshe show is the same. Saturday is a good time, and sunday is crazy slow. Nowhere near as good as Valpo show. But there are deals there from time to time

 

[45pro]

whats the time the show gets over Saturday? How much is it to get in? I plan on going and looking for primers and bullets if i can find the time.

Free Parking
I can't remember how much it is to get in. I'm thinking $5.00

Don't worry guys, I'll be there! Somehow, Cwood at Indiana Supply Depot, is also sharing an island of tables with us (It's gonna get out of control real quick)

As most people have been posting about other gun shows as of late.. Be sure to expect poor selection, crazy high prices, grumpy people, if that is what your expecting and come looking for.

For the others people looking to have a good time, check out some guns, and have fun. Deals at my table only require a good attitude, maybe a joke or two, and the willingness to work for one bit, just as I'll try to earn your business. Stop by and say hello...

Bradsknives will be there and he will have my ESEE knives out on the tables also. Of course with my permission.

Anyone see any good prices on ammo that might be there tomorrow? I was out late this morning, so I didnt wake up in time to get over today, but I might go tomorrow if I can pick up some ammo. Oh, powders, primers, bullets, etc as well.

The most crowded and longest line I've ever seen at this show. Only priced some 45ACP(under $25/50) and bricks of 22(more than Walmart).
The most primers I have seen at this show too. Only one guy,(DRK Global) had them less than $3x/1000(Winchester). The one guy with powder was higher than local shops. About usual on bullets, cowboys in back had good price on 38 lead. It looked like the family usually in the outside section with lots of brass and ammo were not there.

Got there around 9:30, bought a few odds an ends an a WWII Inland Carbine, just posted about it on "Long Guns"....I thought it would be bigger, but it was OK, started to get real crowded when we left...Had my "Keep Indiana Zombie Free" T-shirt on, one dealer stopped me an asked where I got that, really liked it, so told him about INGO.

I was there after lunch. Got to meet Bradsknives and just quickly said hey to Farmrich.

Got a good deal on a nice barrel for my winchester 1200 and a custom fillet knife for the kitchen.
Also got some exploding targets and stuff from the guy in the big room (the only guy who had them, that was not in the hallway). The guy in the hallway had nice targets, but was more expensive on the exploding.
Here is the 1200 with the new barrel , she usually sports the 28" winchoke.
I was pretty happy with the show, this was the biggest show I have been to. Also the first show I have been to that was not in St. Joseph county. It was worth the $5 IMO

Went after lunch at the Blue Gate Walked around and looked and played touchy feely with the handguns I was interested in. Prices weren't that attractive to me, though I didn't try to haggle on anything either. Took 7 crisp $100 bills with me and brought them back home. Was really looking for XDm .40 3.8 Compact in black but didn't find one. Did fine a bi-tone one but that's not what I want.

As far as shows go it wasn't bad. Not to overly crowded, folks around me smelled fine

That's exactly how I judged it too... I came home with all the money I took with me minus the entry fee...

Pretty much all shows are bigger than South Bend's

Decided to go up this morning. Not a bad show. A few decent deals. Stopped and picked up a new Spyderco from Brads Knives. Pretty similar to most of the shipshewana shows which are usually pretty decent.
