Joe Wanenmacher interviewed by National Firearms
Museum Director Jim Supica and Cameron Gray at
our November 2012 show.
Here's a great video from Gun Talk Media. Watch this and
you're going to want to come to Tulsa!
This is
the official site of Wanenmacher's Tulsa Arms Show, the original Tulsa gun
show and the largest gun show in the world. Sometimes publishers or other
websites accidentally publish wrong dates for our show. You can always find
the correct dates here.
This
is the show you have been waiting for. We have the largest selection and
the best prices! Bring your guns and knives to sell or trade. If you miss this
show, you will regret it. Make your plans now. Tell your friends. Bring
your kids and Have a great time.
SPECTATORS:
·World's Largest Selection of
antique, collector and modern firearms, knives and accessories.
·Save Time - You
can go to small shows every weekend but never find what you can find at one
Wanenmacher's
Tulsa Gun Show. Just about anything you want can be found (if it's legal)
at our shows. For example, you may attend dozens of good shows before you
find an antique Henry rifle, but you may find a dozen rare Henry rifles at
our show. At a recent show, a spectator told us he counted 26! And there
were just too many old Colts and Winchesters to count.
·Save Money -
Healthy competition is the American Way of life. Take the example of the
Henry rifle. Compare and save.
·History-
Since 1955, the Indian Territory Gun Collectors Association has sponsored
two shows, typically in April & October, every year. In 1968, Joe
Wanenmacher was elected secretary treasurer of the club. One of his
responsibilities of treasurer was to produce the show. It was a tiny 100
table show when he took over, but under his leadership, it grew to be the
biggest and best gun show in the world! I.T.G.C.A. no longer sponsors the
show, but we're excited to be sponsored by the Tulsa Arms Collectors
Association.
·Best -
When you come to a Wanenmacher's Gun Show, you see a gun show full of guns,
knives, ammo and some military artifacts. You WON'T see lots of non-gun
related stuff or flea market garbage. Not that they don't want to come, We won't let them. Our show could be 5 times bigger than
it is if we let in all the exhibitors who really don't belong in a gun
show. (candy dealers, spa salesmen, car dealers,
etc...) We limit non-related items to just 2% of the entire show. The building
is still packed - both levels - with top quality gun show merchandise. Many
of the best antique dealers come to Tulsa, bringing excellent, hard to find
antique firearms. (once again, not antique
furniture or magazines, but antique guns and related items.) Our antique
firearms section is getting bigger every year.
·Best Exhibitors – We
travel all over the country to find the best exhibitors with the nicest
displays. Most exhibitors bring their best and unusual merchandise to Tulsa
because it sells.
·Best Crowd -
Tulsa, OK has some of the nicest people in the world. Good, hard working
people who deserve a good gun show. Many people who don't live here make
the trip from almost all 50 states. We even have several people who come
from foreign countries every show. They know the best only comes around two
times a year and they really have a good time.
