I have never been to this one, may go, is it very big, is it worth the trip from Muncie?

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

That show's always fun for me. Some good deals, some crazy high prices, Some stuff you'd never expect to find.

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

Not big, but fun. Straight up 67 and keep going straight when you get to town. 67 turns into Votaw St, and takes you right to it.

Not a real big show about 100 tables but it's only 30 miles from Muncie to Portland.

As a native of Portland for 25 years who has just moved away, thanks for putting on a show in such a small place

The wife and I will probably be there on Saturday.

Is anybody looking for anything in particular?

Is anybody looking for anything in particular?

I'll probably be on the lookout for a used lever gun at a decent price, and/or a Sig P225. Don't really expect to find one though.

Is anybody looking for anything in particular?

Wanting to sell a gun and then look at 1911's.

Whatcha bringin'?

 

[thumperdogg]

I got some cash burnin a hole in my pocket and a itch for a 45acp!! Maybe my 1st 1911? Probably not, I have yet to find a dealer at a show with a descent price!

 

[ryan3030]

Picked up the lever gun I was looking for

A Marlin (Pre-remington, 2003 mfg date) 336W in .30-30.

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

Quite nice. Hold on to it, sooner or later they'll come to their senses and legalize it for Indiana.

After regretting the sale of the two I used to own, I won't be letting this one go.

Although after I get a nice .44 mag levergun who knows what may happen

Also, were you there? I think I saw you at one point Saturday. Maybe holding an older rifle with leather on the stock?

 

[jlm223]

I was their Saturday, had my INGO hat on, did not buy anything looking for reloading stuff, none to be had, maybe next time.
