    I'm in Dallas visiting family and decided to make the 4 hour drive to Tulsa for the Tulsa Arms Gun Show which is billed as the largest in the US. Their website says 4,200+ tables and they limit non-gun related to 2%. They also claimed no jewelry or food, but I manged to get my supply of beef Jerky.

    We decided to get there about an hour after they opened oto avoid waiting in line. We arrived at 9 and found parking bu had a little hike. There was no line to get it and the cost was $10.00. The place is #$^6$#% huge. I was very surprised that the first vendor we saw was Precision Firearms. The expo center is on split levels. The lower level is a little less than 1/3 of the space and the upper is the remainder of the space. The lower level is about the space of Chantilly. It's about the same a Chantilly just more of it. I did notice that no really large dealers. In Chantilly it's not uncommon to see vendors with 10 tables of handguns, but not here.

    Ammo prices were about $300 for 5.56/100 rounds. I loved the place that had a sign "22 Ammo, Buy, Sell Trade". .22 was going for about $58/brick.

    I'm not sure I'll go back, but it was an experience.

    I'm including a couple of pictures. The second picture is of the upper level. The bottom picture is of the lower level which is less than 1/3 of the overall space.

    Ammo prices were about $300 for 5.56/100 rounds.

    Price check on register #5!!! Is there an extra zero on that 300? A zero missing from the 100? Or was 5.56 really selling for $3.00 per round?

    You did, unless there's a tulsa, TX

    TULSA, TEXAS. Tulsa was southeast of Wink in southern Winkler County. Though the settlement was a product of the oil discovery of July 16, 1926, in the Hendricks oilfield, it never boomed. A townsite was laid out, and several buildings were erected. A Tulsa post office opened on August 20, 1927, with Cora Higgins as postmistress and closed in 1929, when the building was moved to Wink. Tulsa reported two businesses in 1931 and one in 1933, when the population was twenty-five. After 1948 the store closed, and the community, which was named for the Oklahoma boomtown, vanished. :D

    been there, it can be a little overwhelming . I find it's easier to know what you are looking for and compare prices, then buy at the end when you know you are getting the best deal.
