Gun Show

[phatgemi]

Not sure if this is the appropriate forum for this and feel free to move if necessary. Anyway wanted to get any input on the "Central Indiana Gunshows". I haven't heard of them before. They are conducting a gun and knife show in Batesville on Mar 5th and 6th at the Romweber MarketPlace. I believe this may be the first time for a gunshow in the Batesville area. I most certainly will be checking them out. It's right in downtown Batesville in an old furniture factory. Hope it goes well and is a good show.

March 5 & 6
Gun & Knife Show - Central Indiana Gunshows will be hosting a gun and knife show on Saturday, March 5, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and Sunday March 6 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. The show will feature the best in firearms - pistols, rifles, shotguns, and more - as well as accessories, ammunition, knives, military collectibles, and much more. Admission is $5.00 per person.

they are run by a guy (i think dave) that usto have a shop in centerville indiana. its not the 1500 but its a good way to spend a afternoon

 

[g+16]

lot of time you can find a good deal on a used gun at a smaller guns show, were as the 1500 is mostly new or wanting new price on their items

I was curious about this gun show as well. I am from Batesville, and I may just make the drive to see for myself.

Heard another add for this on the radio this morning and thought I would bump this up. Here is the link to Romweber Marketplace where the show is going to be held:
Romweber Marketplace - Batesville Indiana Flea Market - RomWeber Marketplace - Unique Flea Market - Batesville, Indiana
The marketplace is in the old RomWeber Furniture factory and has a lot of unique specialty, craft, and antique shops that your significant other would probably enjoy as well. Don't be afraid of the drive from Indy, Batesville is less than an hour away from 465 right on I74. Even if you don't end up buying anything it's worth the drive to get the best fried chicken in the state!

I live down the street and plan to be there both days.
See ya there!

Link deleted. Didn't translate well from email.

In anycase, there is somekind of truck show from local dealer and a hog roast in conjunction with gun show. Wives would probably enjoy other shops.

Well I apologize for the way that came out....

Danny (Central Indiana Gun Shows) did not do the last couple of shows at the National Guard Armory in Indy (Stout Field). He did some there a long time ago.

Usually his shows are not bad, but it all depends on what you are looking for. I try to go to his shows if they are within a 60 mile radius. You never know what you will find, and regardless it is still nice looking at all those toys!!!

Just wanted to report on the Batesville Show today. All in all I thought it was pretty good for a first time show in Batesville. The biscuits & gravy were outstanding plus they had FREE McDonalds coffee. Can't beat that.

Really good turnout in my opinion. I was there for about two hours nosing around. I thought prices were a bit on high side for most items but did see a few reasonable deals.

My personal favorite was an old mossberg 500 with heat shield and pistol grip. Bargain sale at $335.......couple tables down had a real nice stock 500 for $170....Do the math....

Lots and lots of knives! Too bad 99 % spoke Chinese.

One thing that stood out to me was the number of attendee's trying to sell personal guns. I know you see that at shows but just seemed to be a large number....Maybe a sign of the economy.

Saw good deals on 1911 .45's......not a single glock in house.

Looking forward to the next one this summer.

You must have not seen Brad's tables then. These do NOT talk Chinese Benchmade, Strider, Case, Kershaw, Zero Tolerance , Spyderco, Busse, Emerson.

I saw Brad's table. He had some really nice stuff there. When I am in the market for a good knife i know where i am going.

 

[KGreenwell]

Thanks for the info. Gives me something to check out in the morning.

You are right. Let me make a correction to 85 %....

I was kinda disappointed w/the selection of everything there. $5 seemed alittle high for the size of the show.
Only saw 2 ARs, neither looked that great to me.
Liked how one guy tried to sell me a non-functioning ACOG, telling me that I was looking at it wrong.

 

[stormryder]

sorry double pos
