I've never been to the Chickasha show, but I'm planning on going, how is it?

More milsurp stuff than your typical GS. Couple years ago I picked up an original front sight for my Maynard carbine that I couldn’t find anywhere online.

June 24 & 25. There is no way it could be worse than an okc show. You only need to go to okc once every ten years, you'll see the same stuff 10 years prior, a bunch of worn out creek bottom crap priced 2x higher than museum quality, and being sold by a bunch of no nothing red neck drunken fat assed lying slobs.

Better off making a trip to Cabelas and REI

I live in SW OKC, and assuming Nothing else comes up, I will be going. Maybe there only 1 -2 hours, but walking around looking (sometimes laughing) maybe finding something I just can't live without, will be a better chance than spending the same money on a casino or lottery ticket.

Hog, I don't know you, you might be a bad man, or a good guy, but for the sake of humanity don't do this to yourself. Even the worst man doesn't deserve the psychological beating you'll get at an OKC gun show, and if you did eat something there, you'll experience the most noxious gas you've ever known. You'll need to take 3 boxes of Kleenex to deal with all the crying during the 2 hour drive home, everything in life will come into question, why did I ever get involved with guns, my mother didn't love me, that cute little pom pom girl in junior high never even looked at me, hell, she didn't even know I was alive. And then you start looking at those concrete bridge abutments, thinking you could end it all right now, you could be free, and when the Highway Patrol gets there and finds that ticket stub, they'll know what happened, you won't be the first.

red dirt, I wasn't clear after reading your posting. Are you saying he should go?

Hello, I am thinking about going to the OKC gun show this weekend. I have never been and I live about 2 hours away. Do y’all think it is worth checking out? Thanks for the input!

You might find just what your looking for. why not ?

Most of these shows are a diluted down version of what we experienced in the yesteryears. There is not quite as much hardware and a bit more BS for sale. If your 2 hours out consider this. 2 hrs x 60mph = 120m one way. 240m/20mpg = 12gal x $3.40gal = $40.80 + $12entry =$52.80. If you're not alone, you could split fuel fee. If you're already coming into to town go. If you're not you'll want to dig thru your old stuff to bring for trade/sale to make it more worth it. I still go to 1 or 2 local shows a year but I don't have that gas fee. Oklahomabassin (above) hit the nail on the head. But that doesn't mean there aren't deals to be had at the small shows. I can understand small town boredom and just needing to get out also. If you're still not sure or quite committed try this. Run barefoot down the gravel road to the gas station. Buy some gas station food. Limp back home. Your feet will feel about the same as walking the show and your a _ _ will feel the same the next day. The difference is $40 bucks more in your pocket, or perhaps the most coveted grail gun of a lifetime.

Is this gun show actually considered a small one? I would have thought it would be large since it was being held in the city. But thanks for the input!
