If anyone if there, light green short sleeve with button, khaki 5.11 pants, reeeeaaal handsome, short hair with my son.....probably wearing some shorts and a silly tshirt. Say hi!
AND....its time for ANOTHER Tanner Gun Show weekend....
Having just spent a week away at the Knob Creek Range Show & Shoot I am wishing I had the weekend for my own plans, but Gloria and I will be at our tables!!
Richard
What ever you do don't go to the Tanner. I was there for about 35 minutes driving up and down isle after isle in a parade of cars looking for parking. I drove to every business surrounding the Mart as well, nothing, just hoards of people going to the Tanner and the Christmas show. Oh well, four of us, the girls were going to the Christmas show and the guys were going to the Tanner. They don't get a dime from us because we left. Can't imagine why these are scheduled at the same time, I bet next week end the place will be empty.
Had to work today, maybe some tomorrow. Gotta fly Monday, so no show for me this weekend.
I went today, first time in years. I was semi-nearby (Arvada), figured what the hell.....
Yes, the parking lot was a fustercluck, forgot what joy that was. Fairly crowded, but not jammed. Lots o' things to lust after, no dough in my pocket though, of course. Not a bad experience in all, just a drag not buying anything.
^^^ any good deals?
THIS is the place to find deals, IMO.Quote:

I agree to this also. But I've got to admit, Palmetto gets stupid often.
My son and I went to the Tanner yesterday. I have never had a more difficult time finding parking at that show. We drove around for close to an hour before getting a space. In the future I am going to check on what other events are happening at the mart before going.
went about 10am, straight to the back lot, parked. Plenty of spaces at that time.
Hardly anyone in the tanner show, was very nice to walk around and not be standing on top of each other.
As a dealer I asked the same question to the Tanner management. It appears that the Mart does the scheduling and the mart does this every year. I think I am NOT going to setup at the Nov show next year if the Christmas show is scheduled the same weekend again. many times there were more vendors than there were customers walking around.Quote:

I have $ waiting for me and can't rally go due to work travel Sunday.
Lots and lots of people yesterday, made a few sales ourselves.
If anyone goes and happens to see a gas tube for an AK for around $40 or less, pick it up for me please.

Shit I wish I would have seen this before I got there I had time to kill while my ear protection were being made, sorry!
No biggie. I'll probably just order one soon anyways.
Thought I would run down to the Tanner before I had to go to work today. It's been a while sence I been there. Found some Magpul AK mags SK clips. I was looking for a AK sling as normal the guy at AK world was not at his both and when he was he was on the phone. Is what it is.
I did see where there was a table where you could buy a bong or a pipe or the Marry Jane shirt or hat. Cause we all know what goes best with a guns. For that reason I won't go back. Not for the reason AK world guy is never at his booth we all know he is never there.
We had a selection of AK slings on our table.
We always have a variety of slings at the show.
Richard
Well looks like I will be going back.
Tanner this weekend!
WHY IS IT ALWAYS ON A WEEKEND I HAVE TO TRAVEL?
I have consignment money and two guns I need to get back...
I guess I'll have to drag my sorry ass up there for half a day Saturday.
I went to the last Tanner Show. Wandered around for about 3 hours, looking to see if there was anything I couldn't live without. Nope. Either I'm getting old and jaded(distinctly possible), or the vendors are doing a horrible job of making their products attractive (also possible).
If my refund shows up tomorrow (doubtful) I'll run up there Saturday afternoon to see if there's any decent bulk ammo in 9 & 45.
I'll be there tomorrow morning.
Sounds like the wife and I will be there to look for a Shield for her.
Save yourself some time and money... http://www.armsunlimited.com/Smith-W...l-p/180021.htmQuote:
