BP Trade Show??

[MC One Shot]

Is there a trade show other than the Shot Show specifically for BP firearms and accouterments attended by manufacturers and importers where retailers/traders can go view and haggle over goods etc.?

Check in Muzzle Blasts mag. Usually has the shows listed there is also a publication called Smoke and fire news which lists these type events as well as shoots and rendezvous. muzzle loader magazine lists many of the BP shows. Hint, bring plenty of money to these shows. You can't live without some of the stuff you see there.

Nope.
There are regional trade shows all over the country, but most are put on by private party "traders" involved in their local Rendezvous circuit and staged during off season.
Here in Minn there are 2, one in Fergus Falls in Feb and another in New Ulm in March.

I just wish they would travel the country like regular gun shows. There are a lot of us who can't make the trip to Friendship or Dixons.

I am aware of the CLRA and other local trade trade shows. I am kinda looking at where the on/off shore manufactures of all the little brass pieces, accouterments, hawks etc. flog their wares so that TOW Cabin and all the rest of the retailers buy their supplies from. Basically looking at starting a little home business as there is a need in my area for even basic BP supplies where I have have half settled in. Powder, muzzleloaders etc. not an issue.

The Kalamazoo Living History Show in March is the closest thing I know of. Not many manufacturers but sure lots of variety and traders. graybeard
