Boone County Gun Show (Lebanon)

[frenchiectfd2203]

Grand daughters changed my plans on making this today. Hopefully Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning. Anyone make it tonight?

The plan was to take the firetruck out there but it was below freezing so we couldn't get out. The boy is home from college this weekend so we will be out there tomorrow.

Is the Lebanon show usually pretty good? I went to the Tipton show a few times. Is it comparable?

I have never attended Tipton so I can't say.

I went to the show today. It was a pretty good show, I was pleasantly surprised. My dad bought a Winchester .22 for a good price. He had one a long time ago and it got stolen, it was nice to find one in great condition for a reasonable price.

I went this evening to the show. Coming from the East, the building was not very well marked. This was my first time going to Boone Cty Fairgrounds so no big deal. There is a gun check table manned by an officer, a $ 6.00 charge to enter which gets you a chance to win A PMR- 30 this weekend. I noticed several tables, around 6, that were covered and not attended to. I think these vendors are coming in tomorrow. I was surprised at the size of the show. Small is the word I'm looking for. Prices seemed high to me. If you get the chance, go out the door near the entrance pay table and they have a deluxe bathroom on wheels. Carpet, heated inside with nice decor. The only thing missing was piped in music while you do your business. The vendors I spoke with were friendly. I was looking for upper parts and/or complete uppers. I found nothing I could use from the two tables that had something. I had a hot dog with relish and called it a night after buying a single point sling and a cheap set of 45 degree offset iron sights. Overall, I would not drive from Noblesville again for this show.

Long shot but if anyone is selling a Dillon xl650 or Blackhawk 45acp/lc convertible I'll be happy with buy when there tomorrow

I'm not a reloader; however, there was an entire table set out with reloading equip. It is next to the guy selling cleaned and processed brass I think.

Lafayette show isn't dark anymore. They installed bright lights last year.

 

[hps]

VERY small!!

I might be able to attend this show and the one in Lafayette tomorrow morning. Any cool old Smith's or any surplus rifles? Particularly looking for an ISP 66 and Mausers

Lebanon show took my son and myself 20 minutes.

Went to the Lafayette show. They should call it knife and coin show.

I take it that one didn't go well either?

Tipton was ok, pretty crowded at 11a when I got there too. Some interesting walk through guns and on display. No real bargains that I found but sounds like it was a lot better than Lafayette/Lebanon.

Lots of knives, not a lot of coins.

We may have crossed paths. I was at Tipton around 11-12 or so today. I went to both Tipton and Lebanon. Tipton had more vendors and more attendees. Lebanon had more of what I would call professional dealers and gear manufacturers.

That would have made three of us there about the same time...I thought this show was as always... good with hopes of lower prices..

 

[Fawkes]

Could be, spoke with a fellow that had attended Lebanon yesterday and didn't have to say for it. Well except that it was small. I'm hoping that show improves though

If you’re worried about missing it…DON’T BE!
More flea market than gun show. Slow walked it in 15minutes.
Completely underwhelmed no place to go but up.
