Hello all.  New guy here only been a member since last year, have a couple Winchesters but nothing in the super good condition museum quality guns you guys seem to have (I like to shoot the old guns and have several that “condition collectors” would hate that I love.  Example is my favorite 30-30 wss a ranch rifle that was on a cattle ranch in Montana for 80 years AND looks it! Anywho..anybody going to the Tulsa show next weekend?  I have heard about this show for decades and will go for the first time. Tom

You’ll learn a lot your first time! Pack some water and snacks in a small backpack and wear good shoes. Might need both days.

I will definitely take two days. Then I am leaving Tulsa and heading to Cody for a few days, then going to Cheyenne for a day.

   I will be there Friday and Saturday. Setup is on Friday, entree for same tables is 10am, new tables 1pm. Set up day is the show, buying a pass or table to get in Friday is the way to go. When you walk look at each table, when you see something write down the row so you can find it later. What’s on top of tables is changing as the day goes on so walking, walking, and more walking.

Are you hoping to find some to bring home?

By the way, I have some high condition pieces but I know what you mean about a ranch used rifle (for me, preferably a carbine).  Here’s a .32 Special I have that was a Western North Dakota used ranch rifle:

When I retired last September,I got my  GOTTA HAVE IT GUN an 1886 in 40-82, then soon after I got a Uberti 1860 replica from the John Taffin estate, then I bought a sweet German drilling, then a high condition Marlin 1893 in 38-55 from 1894 SO NO I DONT WANT TO BRING ANYTHING ELSE home, buuuuuuttt well you know. In other words I spent most of my gun money in the last 6 months.  Yes I like that carbine because you know it has been there and done it all.

Well I made it! Saw a beautiful group of guns of all types. Stopped at the WACA booth Thanks for being so gracious to everyone there. I ran into one antler glad to meet a member. Thank you sir.. Now it’s day two and I am taking a break because my feet hurt AND you can’t move without bumping into somebody so I am on a self imposed timeout.

Nice stuff Bob.  It’s amazing to see old, full cartridge boxes that look that good yet.
