Hi Mark,
My father and I go every year. We always have a table in the antique arms show and usually have a few 10 gauge guns and a few Parkers. Vegas is the the best show in the western states and I always look forward to it as there are always guns that I want to buy. There is not much "display" at this show other than the auction houses bring there current inventory. Please stop by and say hello if you attend. It is a great time!

We are located at G 8 in the Show, Lots of Parkers for sale. We sold a HE Fox, and a Parker at the bell today at set up time.:) talked to The Researcher and Paul Plunkett III and other old friends, a couple from western Canada.Many shot guns of all kinds and shapes and sizes for sale. Many of the auction houses with their wares (stuff). Show looks to be bigger this year. This is always a good time for us.

I wasn't going to buy anything but a fellow PGCA member was selling a set of 32" barrels. Like I said, he "was" selling them...

I just returned home from the show. I did manage to meet a few PGCA members and finally attach faces to names. Great show.

The AH Fox Collector’s Association set up a display of Fox guns at the Las Vegas Antique Arms Show.

Researcher was first at the show setting up and last to leave.

I met Mr. Noreen at the fox table and he talked to me about the guns displayed there. I find it funny you have the picture of the lefever optimus? as I stared at it for quite a long time. I enjoyed getting to see and handle parkers and other shotguns. I wish I could have ran into other members but I arrived around lunch time so I think people were not around.

I flew into Vegas on Monday night for four days at the SHOT Show and then made the antique show on Saturday and was really impressed. So many fine guns of all types! I can't remember ever seeing so many Parker's at one show. Unfortunately, I was suffering from a sinus infection of some sort all week long and once in the antique show it got even worse. I think it was all the really old guns and gun cases with years of dust and mildew that exasperated my already bad sinus condition.
The upside, I got to meet and visit briefly with David and Patrick Lien at their table. They had several original finish Parker's and a table full of other neat collectible stuff. While there, I had the pleasure of meeting and shaking hands with Mark Ouillette also.
I wish that I had not felt so miserable. I would have loved to spent more time talking to these new acquaintances, but I just wanted to get out of the building and back to to my hotel bed. I'll attend again in the future and actually do look forward to it. This was the kind of show I usually really enjoy.
