I agree that the show is getting worse every year for the last couple years.
Not as many tables. Probably cause the prices of the tables went up.
Not as many gun vendors.
More junk /non gun related vendors.
Quality of show going down. Tickets prices went up.
If the idea for the vendor is to sell stuff. Why do so many fill their table with $10000 to $15000 guns. Not many out there can shell out that kinda cash.
That being said. I still enjoy going. There are still some deals to be found, I saw some, but they were not items I was looking for.
Two particular guns I was looking for, I don't think there was even one in the building. Never saw one.

Not sure, I just buzzed by.
I saw that too. I wanted one at one time.
Tulsa shows have always been full of "show off" tables.
I have been going to Tulsa for nearly 20 years now, at least once a year.
I literately saw some guns I've seen at least ten years (or more) every year. They keep raising the price so even inflation won't allow them to eventually sale.
There were probably 2000 1903's at the show. All were $1000 to $1500. I'm not sure why some rando that has a rando 1903 on his table for $1100 thinks HIS GUN will be the one that sells.
Gun show economics just is hilarious sometimes.
Having said all of that, Tulsa is full of deals because it is so big.
This weekend I found the following.
K43 $3500
Hungarian PJK-9HP $250
Turk Carbine of some sort $600 (may not be a great deal, but it is interesting to figure out what it is)
Savage 6A .22 $100
I rarely leave there with less than two guns.
something I wish I had bought back in the day.
Thieves market on 36th st north back about 1975 had one for a long time priced at $550
That was the one.
Very nice meeting you too.....again. :-)
Met @sherrick13 on Saturday - always good to put faces with names.
Lots of stuff way overpriced, but I scored a couple decent deals.
Did anyone see the Polymer 80 stuff for sale? I know in April there were a few tables full, but either absent or we missed it this time.
