tricky9914 Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) Hey All,I know the last Knob Creek MG shoot is coming up in October. I have heard great things about the shoot as well as the show/vendors. I am looking for a couple specific MGs. The Creek is a bit of a drive for me but I am willing to go if I might have a good chance of finding one or both. Either way, I am sure the shoot will be worth it (and I have never been). I know there are usually tons of parts, but is there usually a good selection of MG's? Thank you for any insight!

RoscoeTurner Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 It was a good place to find MGs about twenty years ago, not so much now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Iannamico Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 Knob Creek still is a good place for parts, but there hasn't been a lot of machine guns for sale at Knob Creek in the last few years.There is usually far more machine guns and related accessories, and less beef jerky and T shirts, at the SAR West show (in SAR's building) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 There are a lot of machine guns for sale there that are "not there". If you're looking for something you don't see start asking around. While there isn't much on display these days there are a lot of MG owners both at tables and walking around that have stuff for sale that they don't bother bringing to the show to put out. There are a couple hundred guns out on the line, many of which "could" be for sale and I have done deals on the shooting line.You could post what you're looking for and someone here might be willing to sell, or bring it to the creek for you to inspect before a sale? Nothing like an in person inspection in the sunlight vs. internet pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxfaxdude Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 1) Put out a wanted to buy ad on Sturmgewehr for what your looking for. I acquired several uncommon/"rare" machineguns that way.2) Like Frank said, the Phoenix SAR Gunshow every December is another great place to look. 3) And Johnson is right, start asking around if you don't see what you want. It's amazing what can come out of the woodwork...for the right price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoscoeTurner Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 What type are you looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tricky9914 Posted September 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 Thanks for the responses, guys! I will probably not go to KC as it sounds like prospects there may not be the best. I saw some YouTube footage from 2014 of the show and it looked like almost every table had an MG on it - I guess that is not so much the case anymore. I am looking for either a transferable Japanese Type 92 HMG or a transferable Russian 1910 Maxim (sideplate, non-original is fine). If anyone has a lead, that would be great. Thank you!

tricky9914 Posted September 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 Thank you all for the help. I have a call in to Bob as well as a gentleman that Roscoe put me in touch with. If no luck then I will post over on Sturm. Thank you all for the help, I really do appreciate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeRanger Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 How about this one? Not a snow cap but still worth looking athttps://www.gunbroker.com/item/911576294 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoscoeTurner Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 How about this one? Not a snow cap but still worth looking athttps://www.gunbroker.com/item/911576294 That guy has been trying to sell that gun for at least 12-18 months, over priced by about $10,000. Seems to think that having belonged to Kokalis adds value to it which to me it does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tricky9914 Posted September 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 Agreed. If it was $18-$20K I'd be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
