My word, I wonder where all those carbines are now. If only I was into carbines in 2006, as I would have surely been there.
I've now attended two AGCA shows, and both were like Disney land for a gun collector. The most recent one was a western themed one mainly, but had very large displays of USGI 1911s, and Lugers. The first one I attended was military themed and had two large carbine displays, but I wasn't educated enough at that time to fully appreciate everything I was looking at. Can't recommend the AGCA shows enough, especially since they moved to Hoover. I'd be so excited to learn about them doing this again, and would love to do any grunt work on the ground to help out since it's local to me. |

I started the posts on the displays hoping others would join in. Exhibitors sharing pics of their carbine related displays as well as those who see the displays getting a few pics if they can and sharing.
Most shows forbid pics, some even by the exhibitors. I understand their reasoning but what's the goal of having a display in the first place? All that time, effort and work for a limited audience for a limited time. I am hoping others can see the benefits of showing an exhibit here. Your responses help show them. Thanks. Jim |

Here here, would love to team up with others for some kind of show display. The last display I saw was at Dulles, but it wasn't carbine related. Instead, it was a meeting of the GCA.
It would be great for the CCC to do the same somewhere. Have all the folks in the pictures been identified? They must be long time members. |

If the club ever wants to display at an NRA Annual Meeting, I have participated in 9 Thompson displays at various NRA convention venues, and could offer insight on the costs, and how to approach and manage a display at such an event. There are also other very good venues, such as OGCA, Michigan Antique Arms Association, and a couple of other regional shows that welcome displays. Participation costs range widely.

Correction: The three judges were: Martin McVeigh, Ron Wellman, and Larry Ruth. I was there with 3 of my carbines on display. It was a great effort by Paul I. much at his own expense. All the Alabama club did was provide space. I doubt that such a gathering of wonderful carbines will ever take place again.

Charles, it might take a while to put together, but I like the idea. Dave T. might make three.
First step: A safe, secure way to display. @oldporshce: I've read Ron Wellman was there as well. |

In years prior to this show, many club members met in Birmingham annually to show, tell and trade. Other pics of 2006 and 2007 shows have many old time collectors, many of whom are not with us any more.

The next AGCA show is Oct 13th/14th at the Hoover Met, in Hoover, Alabama. I'd be willing to rent a booth or two, and provide it for a display only purpose.
I won't allow myself to believe that this type of event could never take place again now that I learned the first one existed. I couldn't have dreamed up a more exciting, educational, and ultimately enjoyable event than what is posted in the OP. I'd love to do a three day event...Friday to Sunday. On Friday we could organize a shoot N greet Carbine shooting session at Talladega Shooting Park, and give attendees a great chance to see the new shooting facility and check out the Garands and various wares inside the Talladega West store. On Sat. we could have a swap meet, display expo, and perhaps even a dedicated booth attended by carbine experts in the field of assembly, disassembly, and repair. Folks could get their troublesome carbines fixed, checked, assembled, disassembled, etc. with headspace gauges, armorer's tools, ME/TE gauges, etc. for a fee or not. We could also do an authenticating service at this booth, where folks could get questionable rifles, and parts checked out for authenticity for a fee or not. On Sunday we could have the grand finale with the actual competition, and judging of carbines by a vetted, expert panel. Include multiple categories like Best Carbine, Best Collection, Best Variant, Best Shooter, etc. So we could either try and approach this through going with an existing show/organization like the Oct AGCA show, or draw the entire thing up from scratch and do it ourselves. |

I thought by now someone would identify the the white gloved judges. Left to right Martin McVay, Ron Wellman and Larry Ruth. The White gloved gentleman with a carbine on each arm is the show's sponsor Paul Imbragulio. I missed that show but caught the one the next year. Great show Paul,well done!

Paul did a great job indeed. I'd imagine the others were just as well done. Have seen pics of a few others out west and and Inland expose at a show though I can't remember where. Cheers to those who put on this kind of stuff.
The best part of the above pics is the Rock-Ola cartouche I've never seen. Great stuff! |

Found this searching for information about NPM. Think I've seen it previously, but not completely sure. Has anyone else seen this exhibit?

The Military History Society of Rochester is a small museum run by one curator. Larry Ruth, author of the War Baby series on the carbines, lives outside Rochester and has been working with them occasionally for many years. They do have their own small collection and Larry contributes some of his collection "on loan" for their changing displays.
Not sure if or how often they display at a gun show. Larry usually attends the main one in Rochester and another in Syracuse. He's done his own small displays at both. The small museum is located about a half mile west of the old National Postal Meter/Commercial Controls facility that was located on Culver between Atlantic and Humboldt. The NPM main building has had a superficial rework and last I heard it was being partitioned into a bunch of smaller office spaces. Jim |
