Tulsa, OK Gunshow

[400Whelen]

I went to the Tulsa Gun Show this past weekend. It is likely the largest show in country.

They said that if you attend all 18 hours the show is open and wanted to see every table there you could only spend 15 seconds at each table If the tables were lined up end to end, they would measure 5.7 miles. I overheard one the shows worker say that 'by 12:00 more that 17,000 people were there". I might have seen about a third of the tables. They even had free Shuttle Buses to take you to and from your vehicle.

If you ever get a chance to go to it, go! It normally happens around Veterans Day and wear good shoes. The 11 Acres of concrete floors will smoke your feet.

I did buy a rifle. It's a Siamese Mauser that is chambered for the 30-40 Krag.

That's great to hear from you! Over here in Orygun the shows are Waning and drying up quickly. Only a few left that are worth the trip to go to. I may keep an eye out for next years Tulsa show as I'd like to attend a show that big.
Bonus question: What do you get when you spell TULSA backwards?

Looked like it was 8x the size of our ARPC show. Lots of blackpowder, FRTs everywhere, OldWest firearms, tables full of 3D printed suppressors, AR variants without end, parts kits, and SOME impressive NFA. Nothing I couldn't live without.

Makes me wonder how it would compare the olden days of the Las Vagas gun shows. You could spend three days and not see it all.

While I never experienced a Tulsa gun show, I DID attend a couple in OKC when I lived there temporarily (stationed at Tinker AFB) and man, they were HUGE as well.

Maybe not as big as what you described in Tulsa (and it's been a while) but pretty impressive none the less.

Bought my one and only Glock at one of them!
