SMGCA show in Knoxville this weekend 7/17-7/18


Recommended Posts

Great show and a great club to be a part of.

If you want jerky, chinese mfg'd mall ninja gear, or stun guns you'll need to allow time to swing by the local flea market because you won't find it at this show.

Kerbela Shrine Temple

315聽 Mimosa Ave

Knoxville,TN

I'll be heading over in a bit.聽 Have not been to a gun show in over a year.聽 聽Small show, but I've found enough great deals in the past to justify keeping my membership up.聽 聽Most tables are local hobbyists - either displaying or selling聽(but both not permitted on the same table).聽 聽Also, no junk permitted as noted by FUJIMO above.聽聽聽

I have no idea what to expect - I know a lot has changed this past year though, so not getting my hopes up too high.聽 聽

By the way - although a club show, it's not a members only show.聽 Ticket sales ($8) to non-members.聽 Everybody is welcome.

Just got back after聽spending 1-1/2 hrs there.聽 聽May go by again聽 later or tomorrow.

Prices were up as expected.聽 Not much in my pretty narrow zones, but did see a few interesting items that I did not know enough about to seriously consider at the going prices.聽 Did find a Swiss 1899 bayonet with sheath & frog聽 (for G11's or K11's) at a good price.聽 聽Read that 1899 - not 1889 (or 1918).聽 聽Nothing Finnish that I saw.聽 One lonely common聽Russian 91/30 for $450.聽聽

Not crowed when I left.聽 聽 I enjoyed the trip.

Well you didn't miss anything at the Gray show at the fairgrounds Fujimo. Hoping for a little better at Knoxville Expo next month. Even half of the regulars were missing....

And yes, I wish there were none of those junk tables at any gun show. I get it for the promoter, they're selling tables, but how about have everything non-firearms in their own row. I don't need candied almonds or fried pickles... that crap is for the carnival.

I can overlook the candied almonds guy because his roasted fare helps聽to mask the ever-present stench. I too would like all the BS in 1 row but promoters know that row would be the red headed stepchild of every show lol. Im hoping the next expo show has more traffic.
