I'm on the fence about going next weekend to the Big Reno show, I have scored everything on my lists there over years and don't really need much these days (Other than a HK P7M8 or a new Saiga rimfire AKM ) and the Idea of finding CMMG ar 22 mags or BDM WASR 22 mags is always lurking . Perhaps an XM16E1 complete barreled upper (still Gray color) or an Early Japan Colt SP1 /AR scope  for less than $200.00  or a real USGI "Bringback" M9 Bayo or another DC Engineering SKS mag ...

I dunno, having been a Kali resident in the past, going to gun shows in other states was rather demoralizing. "Oh look, there's something I can't buy... oh look, another banned item..."

 " Can't buy " ? (It's only a money factor on that )

If it's a 2 day show,go the first day,then report back and let others know if it was worth going to.Keep a list of what rows and venders had good shit...That's how it works! Team effort!

I remember back in the mid 90's that some girl got hit in the leg by an ND.



I can't remember if it was a display person's carry gun or if they decided to allow test fire before purchase.



I lived there 10 years and went to almost every one of the shows in that time.

"Can't buy," meaning: 30-round mags, ARs, AKs, etc.



The last gunshow I went to in Kali was back in 2003; other than some M1 Carbines & Garands, it was all hunting rifles.

I have 3 AR's (Retro 603) (Green A2 20" ) (A2 commando build with old school Metal CAR stock) and a WASR AKM (AK 30 rounders are bought as  as  rebuild kits USGI 20 & 30 rounders as well ) I could buy an AK flat or a Complete barreled AR upper  and MOST of these things are at our Gunshows now anyhoo (Even Lowers) you guys need to catch up with CaliFOrnia gun laws ...

I drive the 950+ miles from MT to the Big Reno Show each April and August.  My main search item tends to be older  S&W revolvers.....but I have bought a LOT of great stuff at the Reno Shows over the past 4 years.  2/3 from vendors, 1/3 from walk ins.

 If it wasn't deer/elk season at that time HERE...I would be THERE.
