Oaks Gun Show Dec 16-18, 2022

[armabill]

I'll be there on the 17th. and maybe on the 18th. All depends on how the 17th goes.

[Marines55]

We will be there as well. we got some cool military surplus and collector grade stuff in. some great high end big dollar stuff, and some shooter grade M1 Carbines, Garands, etc. looking forward to this show!

My mind doesn't even register that other stuff. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse though, as my situational awareness is just as bad.

Keep an eye on your gun racks at home. If lengths of down spout or gutters start appearing there, you're being victimized.

I'll be bringing a friend, have been trying to get him into this "gun stuff" for a bit. He's had fairly limited exposure, and isn't against it, but isn't enthusiastic. Maybe if I hit him with this show he'll just be overwhelmed.

On a related note, anyone have a line on a m1919 kit in 30-06 minus side plate for under a grand? Or has that ship sailed?

You coule check with Johnny at Sarco, but im pretty sure that ship has sailed. Maybe Apex? Havent looked in awhile at what kits are out there ($100 sanitized Romanian PSL kits last time i looked at apex… )

Hoping to go on Friday....looks like the hours are 1-4. Should everyone be set up?

[Marines55]

show hours for Friday are 1pm to 7pm. most dealers are set up but some are not due to shop hours, traffic, etc.

that ship sailed years ago. even the .308 kits are $2000 or more.

[Story]

There is a good deal. But I don*t minding buying socks (became good friends with one dealer), buying pickles every time ( Peters usually has a table at both ends of this sized show), got a back massage when she is there, etc. if you are not interested just keep walking.

Not crazy about the gutter guys, but I guess they pay the same amount for a table and the organizer isn*t going to turn it down.

Don't forget the knife guys.

It's double-funny because that scene takes place in a souk, which is like a gunshow.

[ScotsGuards]

Working a bit of overtime to get loaded for the show. I'm going to try to beat the nasty weather being called for over my way Thursday morning. Just got in some mixed inventory, Some new, some used. Some from distributors, some from other dealers and a few choice items from the personal collection.

Hope to see you all there. Travel safe.
