I would really like to, but we are hosting the Glock match the last weekend in April, and I'm an RO. Best of luck to those who go.

People from across the US show up for this one....it's 11 acres, 3,900 tables of guns and gun gear. And with the foreboding elections on the horizon...this may be getting close to your last chance to see "THE BIG ONE".
It would be great if Downrange TV had a table! Jim Supica is always there, along with the guys from NRA TV...I got to shake hands with and actually talk to Wayne LaPierre, he's far more solid than a lot of you think! I even made it on "This Old Gun"....just bring an old gun and walk up. Got to meet the owner(s) of Midway USA...they're great people! Gunbroker usually has a table, GunDigest, etc.
This is one you want to bring the family to! It's usually the wife and our three boys for hours...and hours....and hours...of nothing but guns, gun cases, ammo, components, a few knives, etc. etc. etc. Old guns, new guns, and last year they had some private collections....one really knock down drag out World Class Browning exhibit, a great Remington Exhibit, Winchester's are there, Ruger is represented and they even have a few tables of custom miniature firearms...miniatures that actually fire! Everything from flintlocks and small brass cannons, a few machine guns and silencers to you name it....but, you'll have to really look to find a t-shirt....not a lot of junk at this one.
If you've never been....this is the one to go to. It's worth taking a day or two vacation to travel cross country. Tulsa's not too tough to fly into, and if you don't fly much you should know you can still fly with your guns checked as luggage. So if you wanna sell or buy something and need to fly in it won't be a problem as long as you have a hard case and a little lock on it!

If Downrange TV were to show up and get a table....I wouldn't mind leaving that really fine "Ultimate 10/22" with them for the show so that ya'll could stop by and see how fine it really is....that Tactical Solutions barrel is really fine....you have no idea how nice a light barrel like that is unless you've held one.
OK...I'll stop rubbing it in...maybe.
