Thanks for the tip. I need to go through the garage and see what I don't want anymore and go to find new stuff I won't want in a year.

So hows it work ? Went to the Rio Salodo site , but no mention of swap meet . What's the deal , do you need to be a member ? Can you register in advance and what's it cost. Got a bunch of weapons I don't need or shoot anymore . Looks like a good place to sell or buy some firearms.

It is free to attend, free parking. It's basically a mini gun show...guns for sale, and everything gun related. It's not a big show, so vendors like Miwall won't be there...all the tables were sold to range members, so think more like a gun-themed garage sale. |

I think this is at least the 3rd one of these, because I believe twice something has followed me home from one of these... I'll be there.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Might have to wander over Maybe the range fudds dont want us non members to know? I don't think they want anyone to know....but the range management is incompetent, so I don't find it surprising they are failing at advertising this swap meet. I asked about it at the main range last week, and the range officer had no idea it was happening. I remember for the past shows, there were large signs on the bulletin board at the main range...nothing this time around. |

 Attached FileStandard gun show rules. No loaded guns. All actions zip tied. No loose ammo. If you were a member you would've received an email, multiple ones by now. Non-members can attend as far as I'm aware. It isn't some top secret thing. |

I am a member, never receive their emails. I've tried to get on their list several times, no luck. My email filters are not catching it...I just don't get them.
They should at least have put up a sign on the bulletin board at the main range if they wanted to get the word out...maybe even a sign at the check in counter. More buyers is better, not a bad thing. |

So does this mean I can walk around with a rifle on my back and a price attached to it? Are sales ONLY for those with a table?
I don't know what I might part with but probably got a few items I could live without. So maybe I break even.  |

Plenty of people walking around with signs at the last swap meet.... |

It was a good show. Lots of people showed up, but it really slowed down around 1pm. Most of the vendors were packing up around 2pm. I hope they do events like this more often, like twice per year.
Phoenix Rod & Gun are having their swap meet Nov 13th. It is a very small show, maybe 30 tables, they use the rimfire range to hold it on. If you have to drive more than 30 minutes to get there, it's not worth it based on the last time they held the show a few months ago. They would do much better if they turned it into a parking lot sale...let people buy a parking space and setup a table behind their car or use their truck bed as a table. |

Lots of a lotta things, but when I'm looking at this stuff, mostly I'm looking for old Mil-Surp, and nobody had anything there that was both up-my-alley and priced such that I was interested. I've pulled some decent deals out of this show before, so I was hopeful, but I didn't even really talk to anyone about anything this time. |
