The C&E Gun Show is in Winston-Salem, NC this weekend at the Winston-Salem/Dixie Classic Fairgrounds, Annex Building. The August show is typically a bit larger as far as number of dealers, as the Annex Building holds more tables than the Education Building, where the show is the rest of the year.

We'll be there, as always. Who else is going? Will be interesting if the events of the last week affect the show at all.
 
thanks for info - i may go - ive been looking for some reasonably priced bakelite mags
 
I'll have to tell my husband. I haven't been in years, but use to go all the time when I lived in W-S. Thanks for the heads up!
 
Mrs, bkv has a pottery class and I need to get my glssses cleaned. It may be worth the trip. If'n I don't make I'll catch y'all the next time C&E is in Raleigh. I will definitely be at the next Dixie show in Raleigh.

I’ll have these guns at the show, trying to turn them into cash or a 3” S&W 29/629. The N-Frame S&W is a 5-screw Highway Patrolman that Pat Linthicum turned into a 44 mag by swapping in a Model 29 cylinder and barrel. The other is an old H&R 999 Sportsman 9-shot 22lr

When y’all are there, if you see a seller with a bunch of metal ammo cans for a decent price, would you let me know? I’ll be working at the foundry in Kernersville, but could hit the show Sunday morning if I could get a good deal on 10-20 cans. Thanks!
 
@cubrock sorry to lean on you, I plan to go on Sunday, but let me know if you see any MP5/SP5k mags
Just in case I start to get wary of going, it'd get me off my butt and to the show
 
Jeppo, do you have a table or are you just going to hang out? My better half and I are going Saturday after doing barn chores and grab a snack. I'd love to finally put a face to whom I'm posting!:cool: I will wear a pink Springfield ball cap.

Then you and @Jeppo might be twins. :D
Sorry, my similar cap is at the dry cleaners. :rolleyes:

@MacEntyre and I will have a table next to @cubrock (Catawba Collectibles). I’ll be the stunningly handsome one with the amazing handguns at fire sale prices. :D
 
If you are wearing a cap like mine that says, "Shoot like a Girl", I'm worried about you! Seriously! Hahaha. MacEntyre, I think you and my hubby have met at John Travis's school. He's the handsome devil, not me!:rolleyes:
 
Personally, I'm looking forward to discovering what "fire sale prices" mean to Jeppo. I brought my check book, just in case.

Hey! How is the show going? Was it crowded getting in today? Have y’all seen any good deals on ammo cans?
 
updates on how this show is?

This is my first time sitting on the other side of the table so I’m not really qualified to compare. As far as ammo cans, I don’t think it’s worth coming tomorrow even if you were across the street. ;)

I’m sure @cubrock will be along shortly with an educated opinion of the tempo. I think it’s safe to say there didn’t seem to be much panic buying.

The cheap ammo can guy was not there.

No MP5 mags that I saw.

Definitely NOT panic buying. Some dealers had decent sales, but we had the worst Saturday we have had in a very long time. Pretty good foot traffic, but very little was selling. I think a lot of people came just to see if there was going to be a panic.

I sold one rifle, traded two others, and sold the Elk skin that covered our table. I wanted to sell Jeppo's underwear, but he wasn't wearing any...
And, NO, I won’t explain how he knew that! :mad:

And he got a guy to drive all the way to him to sell a gun. What a great seller he is.

And the guy without underwear might have paid more. ;)
 
I got a “bullseye” holster, haven’t tried it yet but seems real comfortable. Guy does talk a lot of religious stuff though, if that bothers you. o_O

Was sad the Kenny’s spices guy wasn’t there, that stuff is like god’s mercy rubbed on a steak... :D
 
It was definitely not a "panic buy" kind of crowd, but I was so happy to finally meet a couple of forum members. I would not be surprised at all if Jeppo was flying commando. MacEntyre was the consummate gentleman, and it was a pleasure to meet them both. Going back today on our bikes to buy a magnifier. ;)
