We have threads on here for just about everything, except a scheduled Gun Show thread.
(sorry if this is a dupe, if so mods please delete) I searched but other than the indy1500 I couldn't find anything relevant)

I miss the old Pocket Traders show in Martinsville.

What shows are scheduled?

Most are under the INGO at the 1500 sub forum

2 building show. Largest ever in Greenfield (I ran the blocks in the opposite direction gaining about 20 tables).

Plan on heading over there tomorrow

How does the Greenfield show compare to Stout Field? Do many surplus dealers show up (guns and parts).

Ooh, I should try and make it over there. I could use some more ammo cans.

I truly miss Indiana gun shows. I left the state many years ago. Lived in Vegas and now Colorado and they are no comparison

Went this morning. Lot of new to me dealers. Most of them are using the same pricing guide. Aisles are a little narrower, but what's a little butt rubbing to a veteran gun show attendee?
Guy in the west building by the rest rooms had surplus M9 mags for $16, so there is that. He also had a barrel, I kid you not, of well abused partial Enfields for $150. ( money pit warning here) None the less it beats trimming 5.56 brass.
Also saw the cutest blue eyed Australian shepherd puppy. Looked like furry trouble.

Just got back from Greenfield. I went through both buildings in about 20 minutes. Not a single ammo can in sight. Probably 95% of the guns were new stuff. I think there were probably more non-gun tables than gun tables. Lots of knives, reloading stuff, magazines, expensive ammo and flea market stuff. Wasn't worth the trip for me.

Ammo at least should have been coming down unless these dealers never step out into the real world. I'm getting emails everyday with 9mm down into the 16's/box and you can buy it off the shelf for 18.00, sometimes less. The time of 25-30.00 box is over, same with the crazy prices of .22 bricks.

There may have been some that was more reasonable, but at least one guy was selling steel cased 7.62x39 for $600/1000. I wasn't looking very closely since I wasn't in the market for any ammo.

I still can't believe that nobody was selling ammo cans. Of course that's the one thing I wanted to buy today.

You don't see ammo cans like you used to, at least not lately.

Woody131 from INGO was usually my go-to guy for ammo cans but he wasn't at this show. I didn't make it to the last Stout Field show and he's usually there.

He is a good guy, dealt with him several times.

I enjoyed the 36-45 mins it took to walk both buildings with Hopper on Saturday. Looked like a 60/40 split of firearms related/actual firearms. Lots of AR parts if that is your thing. There were a few tables of private collections as well.
I just didn't take enough cash!

Looks like Tipton is canceled per gunshowtrader. Anyone confirm or hear different?

 

[BGDave]

Thanks. I wondered about this. Parking would have been a trip.

From what I've heard this is true, but I have no way of confirming it for certain. I'm not sure why it would be cancelled, there should be plenty of time to clear the snow. I already have the store parking lot completely cleared off.

I'll be heading down to Franklin in the morning, it is definitely NOT cancelled.
