    Tulsa Gun Show this past weekend, any reports?

    I haven't seen (and may have missed) any reports of how the show went. Gun prices, reloading supplies, ammunition?

    Anyone attend that would like to give their input on how things are going in the gun shows?

    Thanks,

    Murphy

    I had a friend let me know (briefly) that the ROCS displays were GREAT! (That's Ruger Owners & Collectors Society)

    Was planning go, but got lazy. Didn't need anything that I expected to find and didn't feel like spending $10 for each of us to get in, along with $10 for tolls to get there and 2 hours drive and gas wasted. Will go in April.

    I talked to a young man,in a Cushing, Oklahoma gun shop on Monday, who said primers were $60@ thousand at the Tulsa gun show.

    Mytmousemalibu, in our ensuing conversation, the man stated that he paid the 60 dollar price tag, because he needed the primers and it was an acceptable price. He also stated the big retailers were absent from the show. $60@ thousand right now? If I didn’t have any, I would have bought wheat I needed and been proud to have found them!

    $60/1000 is about the average retail price these days if you can find them. I will be needing LPP soon and I would have bought several bricks at that price for sure.

    I would have bought some for that amount too, most around here that I do see are $80+ per 1K. It used to be Federals were the most expensive at $40-$45 a box and I cringed at it. Had to have them for a couple picky competition guns. Nowadays that kind of money is almost theft for Federals.

    It was ok, didn’t seem like as many people Saturday as there was in April or last November. Those there seemed to be browsing and trading, didn’t see many actually buying anything except AR stuff.

    If I had seen any primers for $60 I’d have bought some. Everything I seen was $125-200 per 1000.

    I thought most everything was too high, but the current market is nuts. There was a few good deal, but not as many as last time.

    I did pick up a NIB Uberti Schofield in 45colt, but paid what I thought was borderline too much lol.

    Yeah, $60, sounds fishy to me, more like $160..... Unless he found some that were a couple of decades old.
