    You can walk through the Kokomo show in an hour (or less) and then head south to Tipton. I think the last Kokomo show I went to I was ready to leave in 45 minutes.


    It should be slightly better, We will be there this go round. We quit setting up there about 2 years ago but have decided to give it another go.
    It really seemed to be hit and miss and if its a miss I will need some help packing up so I can roll over to Tipton and get back outside the tables for a show. :rockwoot:
    grass is always greener lol

    You do realize it's competing with the largest Class III (Title II) show in the country, right?

    Hope it goes well, but I bet attendance is lacking severely.

    Good luck.

    Any early reports of the size of the show? I went to Kokomo last year and was pretty disappointed.

    Kokomo was hopping this morning but has pretty much died down to nothing,
    Pretty much what everyone here expected form talking to them, I have been able to fondle some unique items a lend lease Garand, a couple of real nice early Colts 1911's and one even reasonably priced.
    ALot of nice stuff walking in and around the floor.

    I was wondering if anyone noticed if they had much AR 15 stuff at Tipton? I'm starting my own build and there are few items I'd like to find.

    Both Kokomo and Tipton were decent. First time going to both. Kokomo did seem to have some filler tables, such as a table of belt buckles. Picked up a Sig P232 for a nice price so the day was nice to me!

    From what I could gather there was a bit of political discourse between the shows organizers and or a group of dealers.
    We had not done the shows with that particular organizer for a bit over a year but they are a bit different than they used to be, in some ways I think it may be better. There are a handfull of the old faces but there are some new ones there that bring something new.
    It got really old when the same ol guys had the same ol over priced ****.
