    It's maybe 60 - 70 tables. The timing with Knob Creek is just a coincidence.

    You know some satellite gun shows around knob creek would be kinda cool, Knob creek is always great with ammo, but sometimes the amount of firearms is lacking

    Nice chatting with you mkgr22. I didn't get a taker on my Remington 870 Police (had a few offers), but I saw a lot of neat guns and spoke with a lot of nice folks. There were a lot of real nice older guns and enough plastic ones to mix it up some. I don't know if the vendor with the veteran caps is on INGO, but he gave me a WWII cap for my father who just moved to a new care facility. What a great gesture! My dad looks jaunty in his new cap! Thanks again and I hope your goodwill comes back to you many fold!

    Wow Sounds like a nice show, What kind of Old guns were there?????... And do not get sucked in with mkgr22 being so nice.. Just try asking him for a free gun and watch the look you will get... I can not really describe it, but friendly it is not....

    Lots of S&W pre-lock revolvers, Colt revolvers, Remington Rand 1911a1, Japanese Nambu, Mausers, Enfields, too many wood and steel rifles and shotguns to mention. Some Berettas. Remington 1100's, Garands, M-1 Carbine, M1A scoped and special stock (adj. cheek piece). Some 3rd Gen S&W autos. Of course, a good mix of new guns. Plenty of knives...some very unusual. I thought it was a very nice small town show. mkgr22 did say to watch out for indy1919a4, because he was always asking for free guns!

    The promoter's two sons that man the front door now have your photograph, and a warning to not let you in! How good are you at disguises? :rockwoot:

    You have to give Mauser Mike the secret handshake for free guns. :@ya: As soon as I figure it out I'll share it to you for a free gun.

    I will give you a hint on the secret- it involves a few $100 bills discreetly folded in your palm.

    Big Deal, they have had my photograph down at the Post office for years and it has not hurt me...

    I am real sorry, I could not run down to that show Mike.. It seems like a real nice one

    It was a good show. I bought some Federal HST 9mm carry ammo box of 50 $26 otd. Good crowd and the place was full of sharks looking for things to flip. Rumors of a guy that spent 40 grand buying guns. He bought 7 from a buddy of mine. Not a huge show but about like the National Guard Armory shows. I'd say more like 100 tables and parking is good.
