Smoky Mountain Gun Collectors Show - Feb 5 & 6 Knoxville

[lacon]

New Location - Jubilee Banquet Facility, 6700 Jubilee Center Way. Just behind Lowes on Clinton Hywy - (Callahand Rd)

Public is welcome. Open @ 9:00 both days. Admission has been $6 in the past with a $1 coupon in the newspaper ad towards the end of the week. I don't know if it will be more this time or not with the new location.

[FUJIMO]

Definitely going to attend this one. I always throw my support behind a gun show that actually

focuses on guns ( imagine that !! )

[Plain Old Dave]

It's drill weekend, but as I'm going on orders I might be able to go Sunday after Church. Military discount?

[Erik88]

I might go check this out. When I was at Randy's Guns he gave me a coupon for a couple bucks off admission.

[NextExit]

Wonder if prices will be inflated because it's a "collector's" show?

[lacon]

I stopped by this afternoon (Friday) to see how it was shaping up.

109 tables, all sold. New facility. Looks like it should be a good, quality show.

[Guest Rocketgeezer]

The better half and will attend Sat and maybe see a real gun show.........I hope

Any show reports

[Erik88]

it was an ok show. parking was horrible and it was crowded. But I didn't notice as many stinky people and it was a nice change of vendors. Definitely a nice change from the usual shows.

How much of this show is modern stuff vs. collectibles?

[Erik88]

much more collectible stuff than modern.

[Garufa]

I really enjoyed the show. If you are looking for a new Glock go elsewhere, there were only a few. I'd say it was probably 85-90% old, collectable and mostly all in excellent condition. I was in heaven. There was only about two tables that did not have guns. It was just like shows used to be a long, long time ago.

[Oh Shoot]

Yep, no jerky, jewelry, tools, etc.

Just mostly 10-150 year old guns guns guns.

Very nice to roam around and drool, and be glad I don't collect wheel guns or lever action rifles.

Had babes on roller skates taking orders and delivering hot dogs and whatnot, so it had THAT goin' for it, too!

Two of the cops working it were wearing their ballistic vests, interesting.

I saw an American made one, guy wanted three something, though...I guess they're fairly rare.

The only Mosins were of the collectible variety, not your average $100 WWII Russians. The one OS mentions is an old Remington made during WWI (or was it Westinghouse? I disremember). There were a few Finnish Mosins as well.

It was a 1915 New England Westinghouse, Finnish proofed.

[Guest Linoge]

Oh. That kind of collector. Oh well. Might still go.
