Tipton Gun Show Sept 14 and 15

[BGDave]

It's that time again. This is pretty much the only show I attend faithfully. Lots of Boomer stuff (wood and steel). Lots of collector Colts and Smiths. Nice building and well lighted. Runs 9 to 5 Sat. 9 to 3 Sun. I think it's still 5 bucks to get in, but not positive. It's worth the price just to see unusual things. Like a .243 M1a. Yep, they made one or two.

If you like the older blue steel and walnut guns, the Rochester FOP show is Saturday (one day only) at the Fulton Co. Historical Society.

Who has boots on the ground in TIpton today?

I heard there might not be a show, but trust BGDave and this link from Tipton Gun Shows LLC seems to indicate it is happening: https://gunshowtrader.com/promoter/tipton-gun-shows-llc/

Miguel doesn't wanna make the ride with the sun in his eyes the whole time if it ain't so.

I've had customers at the store all morning that say they came from the show, so I assume it's happening.

Range report: Only bought coffee and carrot cake. Place is full of vendors. Saw a retro AR and didn't check closely. Just looked to see if t had a Colt pencil barrel. No dice, but I "think" it had an FN 1 in 7 twist pencil barrel. Was still pretty salty at 1K.
The guy across from the snack bar still has the .243 M1a. $1400, but he implied he could do better.
Lots of S&W handguns. To late for me to start that stuff.
Had a nice time people watching. Not much crop dusting going on. Maybe tomorrow.

I didn't go but might gimp around tomorrow depending how angry I am when I wake up.

There was plenty of the normal overpriced guns for sale today. I was able to buy a bullet mold and a pair of really nice S&W N- frame grips for decent prices. The pork burger and hash browns were good!

It was a good show, quite a few newer vendors and as diverse as ever. I looked at two S&W 41's that were both 5" newer pistols. one was 1,200 and the other 1,350? I recall. The one at 1,200 would drop a hundred off but still to much money.
In the back room a man has 2 Leupold MK4's that are both mint with no ring marks at all. He went down to 900 on the one I asked about but he didn't bite on the 800 I offered him.

Went to see Guns & Rosa's Targets tables in the back room, chatted with them for a bit, they asked how Thing 2 was doing and we wheeled out my purchase and I headed home. Great folks to do business with.

I've bought targets from them in the past. I'm standing pat on what I have but if I see something fun, who knows?
