Richmond v. Muncie

[Robin Hood]

I've been to several Richmond guns shows. How does the one in Muncie compare? The wife will only let me go to one.

 

[Stryker Action]

Don't listen, go to both.

Time to get a new wife

Every married guy should know that its easier to ask for forgiveness than permission

You need to go, "Oh I'm sorry honey, I thought you meant One a Day".

Normally, I would all those things. However, she had both knees replaced three weeks ago, and would feel bad about making her walk around both gun shows in one day.

You don't take them with you. Then they try to exercise veto power.

 

[Robin Hood]

She keeps saying she needs to walk more, and I can go faster than she can go, so it is not a problem.

Back to the original post, anyone got anything for me?

I went to the muncie show last time it was going, not really impressed with the size, it was poorly lit, and full of junk vendors, but its still a gun show. Never been to the richmond one, so no basis for comparison. The one thing I have noticed, Muncie's show seemed to have a good bit more used and older stuff than I am used to seeing at gun shows, so it does get extra cool points for what was there.

Thinking about hitting the muncie show in the morning and seeing if I can find a buyer for my SxS

 

[RBrianHarless]

Never been to one in Richmond. Have been to the Muncie Gun Show and found some great deals. Walked out of there with a Chinese SKS, several magazines and a synthetic stock for it. I think I spent a total of $175.

 

[trillobite]

The Muncie show is $5, where else can you get three+ hours of entertainment and window shopping so cheaply?
I went this morning, spend $24 on a pair of knives (Christmas for my wife and older daughter) and sold my SVT40. Lots of variety, I was surprised at how many guns on my want list were there. I could have easily spent $2,000 there, and I'm kinda glad I didn't have it on me.

 

[indykid]

Any gun show is hit and miss as to whether it is a great show (you found that one of a kind dream piece) to a horrible show (nothing there interested you).

Is your wife going with you? If not, does she have a GPS tracker and remote control for your car???

[oneshotonekill]

at the fairground. 9am to 3pm

Muncie is usually a little bigger, but they're comparable. Having them both the same weekend probably means both are a little smaller than usual. I'd just go to whichever one Knife Lady is set up at. But then, I'm a KL fanboy!

 

[Brett]

I went to both shows this weekend. I think the Muncie show was bigger. Neither show seemed To have any better prices than the other. I walked out of both shows empty handed.

 

[Knife Lady]

We do not do the Muncie show . It is the same promoter who does the Tipton show.
