Just FYI, the Mesquite show has expanded and the 2nd room has now taken the entire conference area - ie, there are no more temporary walls to remove. That said, about a 1/4 or so of the main hall is empty. New traffic pattern if I remember correctly - you'll enter through the carpeted conference area on the eastern end of the hallway, and then exit through the main hall you're used to. Fuzzy Bunny (RebleYell) and I haven't moved - but the ATM has. Free parking is still on the south side of the Conference Center & Rodeo - not in the marked Hotel lots nor the Funeral Home lot. I don't know if they'll open the northern gravel lot or not. Premier is claiming 750 tables, so larger than the old smaller Lone Star Fort Worth shows from 2022 & prior. |

I have had numerous lowers where I had to use a tap hammer to seat the takedown pins - or maybe I just have one bad upper.

I am unaware of another event on the schedule, but if you'll follow our social media platforms we push out information there. Thank you for your interest." I'll add you to my notification list if/when they do another. It's going to be dependant strictly on the Dallas County district attorney's office providing funds, So the next one might be any other city in Dallas County. |

For a while, some of the 80% dealers (Tactical Machining was the worst) sold 80% lowers with the take down pocket too narrow. Had to run them through the Ghost Gunner 3 to redimension the take down pocket so that an upper would fit. |

Sounds like it's between Domo and Hokkaido. We haven't been to either. Domo's website is kind of bare, but the ratings are good. Hokkaido looks more established, they might have more menu items, and the location is closer to the venue. However, ratings are a little lower overall. We're not too picky. \_(-}- )_/ |

Regretfully I’m out, I tweaked my back/pelvis working on garden stuff When it’s like this there’s no way I can withstand the truck ride let alone walking around a gun show. I really was looking forward to it, y’all have fun🙏 |

I'm towards the back of the show w/ a plain white sign on rickety sticks w/ green wool Army blankets for a table cover. RebleYell is surrounded on an end cap w/ medical pouches & has a couple of bunny rabbits hanging from his sign - he'll tell you where I'm at if you can't find me. Tacton will be a little past me, no sign, but several tables on an end cap of beautiful H&R, Colt, & FN AR parts arrayed. I should have a tan ARFCOM hat sitting out somewhere. |

Please note: We have a particular issue in catching cancelled shows, especially when a promoter or listing site doesn't or can't update their website. If you know a show has been cancelled, please post up or drop us a line so we can remove it from the schedule and save someone a long drive with Biden's gas prices. If you're wondering what shows are listed, our box runs from Abilene to Bossier City, LA, and from the Red River to Waco. We also include the biannual Tulsa show, as well as SHOT. We are now tracking shows up to 2 hours south of the Fort Worth area. We are blessed in north Texas w/ active Promoters, so happily we have very few open weekends.
