Tulsa Wanenmacher show

[hillbillydruggist]

does anyone buy reloading components there? thinking about going in the spring, I have been there many times over the years but I never looked at reloading stuff, since I just recently started reloading again after a very long hiatus.


thanks


EDIT: and I will be looking for steel targets

The prices aren't any better than you buy online. In many ways it higher.

I've never been to that show but I'm going to be in the area that weekend and looking forward to popping in and taking a look around.

I live just down the street.

I went to the last one and I don't think I could live through another. It's huge. I don't remember any reloading components though there must have been some. There were more high end guns there than I've seen in many years though.

You go every time?

Regardless of what you’re looking for, it’ll be at the Tulsa gun show. Great deals? Nope.

Tulsa is a nice area. Only been there a couple times but have enjoyed my time there.

I don't buy much at gun shows typically but I like looking at all the different stuff that shows up.There's all kinds of stuff that shows up at a show that I wouldnt normally be searching for online.

All gun shows suck now. Too many "civilians" got into the gun dealing during that "panics" and they have completely ruined the market.

I grew up in Tulsa I was going to the Wannamaker in high school in the 1980s. Tulsa used to be a fine town, not so much now. Too many liquor stores, bars, porn stores, pot dispensaries, casinos and massage parlors where there used to be churches.

My shooting buddy belongs to Mr. Wannamaker's gun club and they meet every month at the German restaurant. he is a nice man, but I think he is over 90 now.

Sounds great to me!

The cost for tables at that gun show have risen every show. The price is now up to $175 per table. For the 'smaller' exhibitor, it's difficult to come out ahead. Last Wanenmaker show I attended there were lots of empty tables, either no-shows or tables not sold. When the price per table gets high enough (I understand tables were $150 at that show) profit margins get slim or non-existent, there's not much use in renting tables unless it's just a hobby. Lots of stuff there, from high end customs to just plain junk. Parts, reloading components, firearms of all kinds, but no supper deals unless you happen to really luck out.

I want to know how much cash is in that building on Saturday afternoon.

 

[Thud]

A LOT

Even if the tables were free, dealers around my neck of the woods would lose money. Many of them seem content to haul the same junk around for years without selling a thing.

Although in fairness to them, I don't understand the collectors' mentality on making money to begin with. I like investments that send a check every month.

Don’t mean to sidetrack but where is a good place to eat in Tulsa?

Exactly what I see at my local shows. Same mopes selling the same guns, asking way too much and acting like you hurt their feeling if you offer anything less, rinse and repeat, show after show.

If the Dems ever went to one of these shows they'd realize their "gun show loophole" is even more of a fantasy than it already is since nothing ever gets transacted.
