Tulsa Arms Show

[eaglescout]

Wanenmacher's Tulsa Arms Show (World's Largest) truly is the best show. Born and raised in Tulsa, attending for 35 years. It's a quick 9-10 hour drive from Denver. I highly recommend as others have stated in this thread. Here is a pic (poor quality) from April's show.

Went to April 2012 show. Walked all day, both days, still didn't see everything. Would love to go back, but had a schedule conflict this year. The picture in the previous post gives an idea, but does not do it justice. I have a couple that aren't much better, and will add them if I can find them.

Definitely worth the road trip at least once, just to experience it.

And yes, you can still get your jerky and Scentsy fix, but you'll have to look a little harder. HAHA.

My early in pass is in transit for the November show. Hope some of you can make it.

MODArmory attends the Tulsa Arms show and feel it is worth a trip out! The Tulsa Arms show or the Small Arms Review Show in Phoenix will make you never want to attend another Tanner Show.

Another great Wanamachers Tulsa show last weekend. Saw several Colorado people. Made reservations for April. Hope to see you then.

I saw something recently about the Tulsa show, referencing that Fri is "dealers only". If this is the case, what kind of dealer license do they require? I figure it might allow one to get some early deals. Thinking about going in April.

Unless there has been a serious change in the Tulsa Wanenmacher show operations, Friday is the day for dealers to enter and do their setup. Of course they can take their "helpers" in with them and if the helpers number more than one per that dealers tables, then those "helpers" can buy a dealer badge at around 1PM, for a rather high price. You will see huge numbers of people walking around with a dealer badge but they have no table, just have a dealer buddy. That's how it has worked for many years. Friday IS the day to do the buying and there are fewer people clogging up the aisles on that day.

Correct, Friday is buying day and also Saturday morning on the West end. Those guys set up Saturday before 0800. One year in the late 1990's I spent 3800.00 from a guy waiting in line. He was selling his dads Colts. To get in early you will need to purchase a phantom table. Fairly expensive, but worth the money. Call the show for more info. If you find me and carry in something you can get in on my early in pass at 1000. Ready for April!

Nice! I made it out to the November show as well. Spent 4k more then I had planned on spending too. DOH! I did score a 1k brick of Lake City 7.62 2013 manufacturing date for $750. Unfortunately I didn't make the April show, but plan on attending the November 2014 show. What a great way to spend a long weekend!

Anyone going this weekend? I've always wanted to go, but that sure is a long drive.
