Found out about 5:30 or so today that Allan Blowles/ArkLaTex gunshows is setting up in Tyler this weekend at the new fairgrounds buildings on 64 east of Tyler. Got a pair of tables, and was able to get at least my knife sharpening gear there tonight.  i'll be there only Saturday, but should have a few friends there covering on Sunday since i have to work.  This just popped up suddenly from that i'm seeing.  Looks full as that building gets at least, and i'll be sure to bring a little heater since we are getting a cold snap tonight.

Is Alan w/ ArkLaTex?  I thought they were defunct.

I thought Alan ran AllTex.

East or West of Tyler?

West - it's the East Texas State Fairgrounds on Hwy 64 going towards the airport from Tyler.

And it is AllTex, not ArkLaTex, that's a separate promoter.

Folks, see jeffb1911 at the show for dinner plans tomorrow night.  He'll be sharpening knives or chatting up the ladies.

With the weather forecasted, American just cancelled the DFW show for this weekend.  I saw it on their Instagram page, but their website is also showing it.

Post up and let us know what room you're set up - carpet or concrete.  S&S and I are in the carpeted room, RebleYell is in the concrete room, and I think tacton is also, but I'll post up later.

I'll have my ARFCOM hat hanging from my sign or display.

If your boss is a member here, I'll list him on the calendar.

ETA:  tacton is in the carpeted room on the front wall to the right when you come in.

Got Premier's schedule input for 2027 & 2028.  Still have to update everybody else's dates.

ETA:  Ok, got everyone updated for the next month.  I think the Allen show is someone pranking his buddy, or it's not being held in a suburban neighborhood next to a city park.  I could be wrong, plan to sally out Saturday the 11th & check if I don't hear.

After action report from Tulsa:

Got rid of a few things, mainly small parts, knives, and optics.  BUT found not one, but TWO of my Grail Guns!!!

First got an Unfired Navy Arms Lemat from the first run they did in the early 80s, and it appears to be unfired. Takedown was hard because the original grease had hardened over time.  Box has all the originial paperwork in it, although the foam has kind of rotted over the years.  Gun did clean up very well however.  The other one is a CVA .69 caliber Blunderbuss.  This one has been fired, will need a good cleaning, but has a brass barrel so no real corrosion on it.  Now to find some balls and shot to have fun......although may leave the LeMat unfired for a while.

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.  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.
