[QUOTE="AlongCameJones, post: 3599199, member: 47875"] The Wanenmacher gun show has 4,200 vendor tables. It's a long drive from Lawton. There is probably a cover charge to get in. Walking through there to comb the whole place for specific firearms is probably like hunting for a needle in a haystack. I think I will start by combing the local pawn shops in town and getting their email addresses. I might get lucky on Armslist too. I've been to gun shows many years ago but they weren't that large and it wasn't when I was looking for a specific firearm but just a good working gun. Sometimes dealer specials on new guns can be had at shows. I've purchased two used guns at gun shows in my life: both at the Boise gun show in Idaho. A nice, barely-used Glock 21 in .45 ACP in 2002 and a fairly-good (not minty) older Smith Model 10 in .38 Special in 2005. The Glock was stolen from my home in 2003, probably by scandalous roommate. I did make a police report but never recovered. I sold the Model 10 in 2011. If I had a gun collection I wanted to get rid of, I might rent a vendor table at a show but I would also list my inventory on Armslist too. People these days like to sit at their computer or smart phone and shop these days than burn fuel. [/QUOTE]
