RK Gun Shows In Smyrna

[Guest bluecanary25]

I saw the same lowcut blouse. Nice earmuffs there!!

Almost forgot my change........

Lots of people. Couple of dealers actually had good deals.

Unfortunately, I did not bring home any neglected guns.

Guess I'll save my money for next month's show in Williamson Co.

I picked up a Spike "Punisher" lower and a DS upper to build into another AR.

Met Dustin from C.I.S, talked to Frank for a bit

Didn't really see any GREAT deals either....oh well.

[Westwindmike]

Went today. Thought it was a pretty good show. Some things were cheap(AR Mags, AK Mags), others way too expensive(AMMO).

I think $10 is too much to pay to go to this show. But, the lot was full all day.

[Guest Todd@CIS]

Met Dustin from C.I.S

Sorry about that...

[BrandonTN]

Well I didn't get a chance to go today...thinking of swinging by tomorrow, but $10...ouch! I will be looking for some 1911 officers magazines, some grips and maybe a 20g pump gun. Still not sure if its worth the $10...

[Guest eyebedam]

I was wondering if anyone out there had extra mags for a LCP 4 sale. So is it a sucky show for 10 or what. The commercial says its the biggest show ever in the ville.

[dunndw]

Sorry about that...

Dustin told me I just missed you. said you stopped in for a minute then had to go back on patrol.

$10 each was a bit steep... but my wife found a holster she wanted. It certainly seemed more full than any other time I've been, but I noticed that fewer of the vendors had guns. The majority was jerky, jewelry, airsoft and knives.

[mdlave]

Anyone notice good surplus deals (e.g. CZ-52)?

[Guest rockytop]

I thought the $10.00 entry price was a 'ripoff.

I picked up a S&W 686 w/ 4" barrel and a Sig Arms P245 from show attendees.

I also saw the guy from Kentucky and wondered what he expected to sell.

I thought it was a pretty big show. I've attended a lot of shows including Memphis, Nashville, Franklin, and Birmingham Al. The only one comparable in size was Birmingham.

I went to the show. +2 on $10 is steep. (me and the wife) I found an extra magazine for my Kahr CW45 and we bought some ammo to take to the meetneatnshoot. It was about the same as Walmart for my .45 autos.($15/50) The 38's were reasonable. ($12/100) I got some info on the bayonettes I inherited from my Grandpaw from the bayonette guy. I'm gonna go back tommorrow to see if I missed anything since I was in a rush this morning. I've already paid the admission. I just gotta keep the stamp from washing off my hand in the shower.

No, I meant about meeting Dustin...he only gets let out of the basement occasionally.

[TripleDigitRide]

I find it very difficult to drag myself to gun shows anymore, unless I really need something I'm not able to find locally or on-line. With the invention of the internet, that's become more and more rare.

The $8-$10 entrance fee isn't quite an issue for me, but the lack of "deals" are few and far between. I almost never find prices that I can't find/beat in a local shop.

On the other hand, if you're looking for a place to simply mingle with other gun enthusiasts, you can't hardly beat a gun show.

[Guest Jason F.]

I did not see any great deals but I made a few decent deals with vendors. Picked up a few reloading supplies and talked everyone down a few dollars on all the items I wanted.

Decent size show but as always too many cheap nylon tacticool items, surplus camo crap, and cheap knives.

[10Kilr]

I really didn't see a whole lot either. Though did find the Gutterguard table interesting....They looked a bit big for concealed carry though?!?!?!

Hopefully Bob Pope's next show will be better....

[Guest Jason F.]

By the way which one of you criminals walked off with that FAL today?

[dunndw]

No, I meant about meeting Dustin...he only gets let out of the basement occasionally.

:D well..he was eating like a man possessed...so that explains it:D:D

[Guest Todd@CIS]

By the way which one of you criminals walked off with that FAL today?

That FAL wasn't the only gun stolen today...total of two.

[Guest Jason F.]

It does not surprise me really. Most of the vendors seem to have their minds anywhere but on their table. If I were a criminal I could have walked out of there with any number of items today. I stood with a set of dies in my hand and followed a guy around his table for several minutes while he pretty much completely ignored me. I sat it down and went to another table where the fellow had a moment to actually talk to me since I was planning on spending some money. I also walked by more than one table where I could find no one present at all.

I am not much for the big brother mentality but the promoters should really require and enforce some more rules on table sizes, staff working them, and maybe security cables or something.

[Guest Boomhower]

By the way which one of you criminals walked off with that FAL today?

No way?? Wow, that's gotta suck. Must have been a lib that didn't want anyone knowing they had bought a gun.

[bubbadavis]

At the LegallyArmed table there were some flyers about an upcoming indoor range in Franklin. The listed address is on Southwinds Drive. Anyone know any more details?

If not, I guess I'll have to break down and call the number listed...
