[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Anybody setting up at the tulsa wanamacher gunshow next weekend?

Posted: 10/31/2014 4:31:57 PM EDT

The guys I normally go with are not going this year, they always set up on Friday . I would like to go all 3 days anybody going to have a table mind picking up 2 extra badges? They are 40$ a piece I'd be glad to pay that and buy you lunch or something.

Just thought I'd give it a shot I like to buy bulky items in Friday as it's much easier to get them back to the truck.

Thanks

You can buy a phantom table and get a badge that way. Seems like they start selling them at 10:00pm. I'm not
sure, seems like the are $75.

What's a phantom table, other than the obvious of course?

Just away to buy a badge without actually buying a table

I am thinking about going tomorrow morning. Probably won't buy anything, but should be good people watching. How bad is parking?

Some one should remind some vendors that the panic has long since passed ($35/lb for Varget

)

Parking is usually jam packed, but there is plenty of it, they normally have shuttle buses to bring people in from the far reaches.

I am afraid (and I dearly HOPE I am COMPLTELY wrong) that given there's a limited amount of powder manufacturers, ( not everyone can knock out smokeless powder on a kitchen table) and they've seen what the market CAN and HAS borne, $30 lbs. of powder might be the new norm.

I REALLY hope not, but i see no relief in sight.

related, my conversation at the reloading counter at H&H;

do you have any H335?

no, what are you loading?

plinker (not match quality) .223

oh, here use 4198, it's better.

I already have some 4198 , thanks anyway.

wait, 4198's the most economical powder out there for .223, 19 grs, no matter the bullet.

i did not know that, good to know, buh bye.

Parking was a little crazy. Many aisles turned one-way, then people parked however and it dead-ended the aisle. Whatev.

Got some ammo for my wife and I, and discounted jewelry for my wife. First time I finally made it. Was well worth it.

Lots of traffic jams in the aisles, more than a couple people stop to look at something and everything STOPS! And the old folks on the scooters don't help!

It's been a long time since I have been on a Saturday, now I

remember why I normally go on Sunday.

All the special issue, collector item, highly sought after Moisin -Nagants that sell for $350 seem to still be there on Sunday.

Too crowded and too many hucksters to enjoy the gun show.

Yep. Got there at 8:30 and left about 1:30. Parked empty scooters were a PITA.

Worked out well, go pay the registration desk $90 and get a badge for all 3 days.
