Westmoreland, Tn Gunshow 4/28-29

[lshel]

Has anyone been to this show before, is it any good? It would be 1.5 hr drive for me one way, I don't know if it is worth the drive.

I have a revolver SW 66 to sale/trade. I would be looking for individuals with money or handguns to trade.Does it have a good turn-out?

[gregintenn]

I don't recall there ever being a show in Westmoreland in the past. It's a very small town, so I don't know what to expect. It has been very well advertised. I'll be there good or bad.

new show i kinda wish i wasnt going to okc

[GTODALEP]

Dlm37015, plan to have Victor at Westmoreland show?

[dlm37015]

no we deidnt know anything about it until a few days ago i will try to change things around today

[UncleJak]

They had advertised one before and I went. Imagine my surprise when there was no one there. I thought I might have had the dates wrong, but I had a flier that confirmed the date. Therefore, I will not be attending this one.

[dlm37015]

i will be sending victor to the westmorland gunshow . let me know if you need something i will try to make sure he has it

[Grunt67]

I'll agree with Greg, W'moreland is a small town, so I don't know what to expect either due to that. I plan to be there

as well, out of curisoity, if nothing else to see how it goes.

I did get a card in the mail with the dates, etc. Not sure how they got my address & full name ( HCP ? ), so the date

should be legit. If I was driving 1.5 hrs from Morristown, probably wouldn't take a chance on it. Shot in the dark.

Guy by the name of Donnie Daniels is promoting it, not familiar with that name. $5 admission.

That area's my old stomping ground, might as well have a look.

[lshel]

I'll be there. I'll be the guy with a snub nose SW Model 66. Trying to sale/trade. Stop me and take a look, you might want to add it to your collection.

I will call promoter to insure show is on for this weekend. A 1.5 hr drive to get there.

[gregintenn]

What are you looking to trade it for?

[lshel]

Looking for Glock or SW M&P Compact to trade on.

[lshel]

I talked to gunshow promoter and show is Saturday/Sunday as scheduled. Over 200 tables and all guns,knives, accesories and no flea market stuff.

See you there Saturday morning early.

I'd like to come, but it will be Sunday before I can, so I guess the 66 snubbie will not be available by then. How about a brief description or pics with price and wants?

[lshel]

Hipower,

66 snubbie is listed in TGO classified.

Hipower,

66 snubbie is listed in TGO classified.

Really? Thanks, I guess I haven't looked deep enough. I'm one of the dinosaurs who haven't yet adjusted to the new classified format. I'll go search for it.

Just got back from the show. Overall, good show, better than I expected. Good location, room between the isles to walk.

Saw a few empty tables, not many. Some beef jerky, etc, not excessive.

Didn't find anything to take home with me. Roughly the size of Goodmans show, maybe a bit less.

Lots of fans going. kept it cool, at least while I was there. Restrooms...ok. Didn't visit the concessions.

[gregintenn]

I thought it was a great effort for a new show in a small town. I believe they are planning another one in mid September.

[lshel]

Nice size show, clean restrooms. I stayed to 1:00 pm, did not buy nor sale any guns. I almost bought a new tumbler, but convinced myself that my 20 year old one still does a good job.Nice pleasant drive.

Glad you enjoyed the trip & show. Know what you mean about the tumbler. I'd love to have one

to use with stainless media. Just can't justify doing it right now. Just bought a Frankford Arsenal

vibrating tumble not long ago. It'll probably outlast me. LOL

[GTODALEP]

Ditto for me on all accounts. Nice drive up from Gallatin on 31E. Was good to see Victor again.

[gregintenn]

A good show yesterday. Today it was rather dead. There are some tables with very high end knives. I don't think they were selling very well in Westmoreland, but some nice stuff indeed.
