Anyone hit a show today?  Any deals?  Runner Runner have their $40 lowers there?  How was parking @ Big Town?

Greenville - less than an hour east of Dallas, straight east on I-30.

It's the only show w/in reasonable driving distance from D/FW this weekend.  I wouldn't expect lowers cheaper than RunnerRunner.  Maybe a pre-64 levergun if I wanted to pay full retail.

The Big Town show a couple months ago sealed the deal for me. My first gun show in almost 5 years and probably my last LOL.

At least when I went to gun shows back home, I could pick up my ammo from Georgia Arms without paying shipping. Unfortunately they don't migrate this far west

So, I'm nervous, right, because, you know, it's an admiral I'm talking to. So I say to him, "Sir, if you use an I-37 form instead of an N-1, you can save yourself from using like, a hundred G-72s". And there's this pause. No-one says anything for, like, I dunno, it felt like minutes. And finally, the admiral looks over at Landry and he goes, "Hank, not only is your boy here right, but I think we found ourselves a new bingo caller for Sunday nights"! Bingo! "I-37! N-1! G-72! Bingo!" Whoever said the admiral didn't have a sense of humor?

Good to see you again, and meet your boy.

The show is decent.  I don't need a thing, but wandered it anyway.  Interesting to see SAW still there, but their display is about 2/3rds of what it was.  Gun Zone also had a smaller display than I remember.  A new vendor I didn't recognize was at the far right (south) selling tons of mags.  Rifle mags were well marked, pistol mags not so much.  I guess the glut of H&K-91 mags has finally dried up.  They've gone from $5/each to $20/each.  Parking was pretty easy.  I quickly found a spot two rows from the front.  I skipped the last Big Town, so maybe missed the price increase for entry.  $9 now.

That is all.

The lowest price I saw was $400. I also saw one for $500, another for $650 and the highest I saw was $750.

Saw a K31 carbine for $675.
