[Mike.357]

thinking about going Friday.

[VERO1]

Cool! I need some more Beanies! Spuds you got a table for this one?

[Oh Shoot]

I believe I've 'bout seen enough with the last two here in Knoxville.

Georgia Arms isn't gonna be there, so there's not even that to go for.

going to this will be my feeble attempt to have a life

[Guest Spuds]

Yes to the table, but I'll only be there Saturday.

Got 30 round AK mags for sale, maybe some ammo too hopefully.

Well, there's that. Maybe I should drop by after all ...

[Mike.357]

it seems every year there is this three day gun show, are all the vendors there on Friday at 1:00?

Mac if you want to meet up I suppose I will be there at opening so as to be able to hoard any and all good deals for myself.

[VERO1]

I guess I'll go Sunday and pick through the leftovers.

They may not have enough to sell.They sold out on day one at the last couple they were at.

I am going today.Hope to trade off this 870.

[Garufa]

I feel the need to go so probably will be there at 1 today.

[Oh Shoot]

This weekend they are at six different gun shows in 4 different states, just not here.

They rotate.

+1. But do stop by the TNSG booth and say hello to the guys and gals there even if your not interested in joining.

[Mike.357]

Just got back from it.

One heck of a line to get in at 1 pm.

Situation inside was crowded right off the bat. Found no good deals on ammo, not that I expected too, saw a lot of ammo that was high priced. I got a relatively fair price on a handful of boxes of Wolf 7.62X39 from private seller. And a bag of some 7.62X54r with yellow tips from another table.

My "glad I went" find was a metal thingy to connect my two 30 round M1 mags together for $10 and a pair of milsurp long johns for 5 bucks, LOL.

I never found Spuds but did see the neandrathal looking guy he had described. I saw a guy selling cool milsurp (rifles, bayonets etc) stuff to the right of the door, I asked and he was not Spuds.

Big beef jerky display but sadly no beanie babies. I would have gone to CCA but I guessed I would find no M1 mag connector or long johns there I said hi to the TNSG guys but did not converse with them as they were talking to each other and another older gentleman. NRA guy looked bored out of his goard. Two guys outside selling AK's wanted over 600 each for them. I did not see any buyers. There was one old guy walking outside with a Mac 10 (?) with a sign saying "unfired, $1100" yikes!

But what the heck, it was only seven bucks to get in (with coupon) and I enjoyed my time there. would have liked it better if Ga. Arms was there.

You didn't miss much if you didn't make it today... I picked up some ammo and some strike hold, but thats it... I was hoping to pick up some .357 sig ammo from Ga Arms, but as previously stated, they were not in attendance...

Wish I had checked here yesterday... I was one of the dumb asses that showed up at 9 am... I wasn't alone...

[Guest jwp]

We've seen the usual 'gun show' traffic here today, most were disappointed at what was being offered, as usual.

But many were happy to see the cases of 7.62x39 ammo we had piled up for sale. And still no cover charge!

[Garufa]

Did CCA have a sign up or anything? Probably walked by several times without knowing on my quest for GUNS which seemed to be in short supply. By guns I mean mil-surp eye candy. That's kinda my thing.

For some odd reason I decided that I needed a little Kahr CW9. That came home with me.

There were alot of empty tables. Will there be more tomorrow?

J Smith, good talkin' to ya in line.

[Mike.357]

most were disappointed

I tell you, you are right on with that comment. Not that I am a gunshow expert but it really was a let down. Lots of empty tables. Really compared to the Expo Center the Jacobs Building is a dump. don't know that I would be inclined to go back there.

I only saw a few boxes of way overpriced .30 Cal carbine ammo. Which was what I was hoping to find. Well not hoping to find overpriced .30 cal ammo, but rather some bulk packed in a price I expected to pay.

I think the CMP might be the place to look for that. They've got Aguila at a decent price.

Good to talk to you too Garufa.

I must say that the show was better than the last few I went to.

I found one Pmag for 20.00 and traded my 870 for a Ruger 22/45.My dad found two PMI mini 14 mags for 40.00 each.I heard that all those empty tables will be full tomorrow,wish I could go back but I got to work.

Last time I saw ammo being rolled out like it was today was the show in Nov of 1999.

Oh,worst deal I saw there was 200 rds .223 for 239.95.

Wish I knew you were looking for some,I saw a bag of 50 on a table for 20.00.

Note that "Saturday only" means "not Friday, not Sunday."

Spuds was attending the Tennessee Militaria Collectors Association fall show in Franklin today. 3 hours over, 4 hours there, 3 hours back. Ready to
