Please don't @ the OP.  I read and update this thread regularly, even when I'm at the show.

Put me down as a maybe?

You talking about the one at the Will Rogers center this weekend?

@m35ben in case he's interested.

I could be talked into it.

Have we settled on a day?

We never settle

I'm going both days.  Pick the day you want to see the Sinister and I'll get him there.  Making stock kits tonight.

If my brother in law gets over his cold we're going tomorrow.

It's supposed to be colder on Sunday, so I might go Sunday. I haven't gone shooting in weeks, so I might want to take advantage of the warmer weather tomorrow.

The Sinister and I made up 3 Mk8 kits, so I'll be there tomorrow wandering around.  Will bring him Sunday morning and we'll go to lunch.

Borrowing his left-hand .22" LR upper for my demo "gun" on a dark green EP Armory 80% lower, w/ the multi-colored Mk8 prototype on it.

Should I bring cookies?  I can play the dark side.

I don't want to drive when it's iced up, so I'm thinking Saturday. Just need to figure out a time.

Since I'm going 2 days, I'm not going early tomorrow.  I'm gonna sleep in and get there after lunch.

@maggiethecat
@LadybirdJ

I'll be there Saturday.

That's a valid point.

Saturday might be a better idea.

If backbencher is going in the afternoon, then I can to the Winchester Gun Range in the AM and then head to the show.

Anyone want to meet at King Tut in Ft Worth, maybe around noon or so and then head to the show?

We'll do that.  King Tut @ noon.

@jaqufrost

Will be there Sunday.  W/ your name you can drive on ice.

I've got a range day planned for Sunday.

You're welcome to come out today.  I'll be there most of the afternoon.  If not we'll catch you @ the next BigTown show in Mesquite.

Gonna be a few minutes late, but I'm on my way.

Cool.  No beer, but excellent shwarma.

I am in DFW for the weekend for my grandsons birthday. Is this show worth hassle?
I don't want to drive 40 minutes to wait in line for an hour to look at beanie babies.

Thanks

If nothing else, you will get to see Lego gun parts!

Tell you when we get there.

Eta King Tut 12:08

Tell you when we get there.

Eta King Tut 12:08

??
I guess I will just head back to the mountains

Lol.  I'm selling my Lego rifle stock kits at this show.  There won't be a line.  Fort Worth shows tend to be pretty good, albeit they're a little smaller under Trump.  Picked up a rusted #4 last show for $35.

Holy crap.  Huge show.  Line in the parking garage.

OP sells lego stock kits.

Here is my ammo prepped for tomorrow.

Link or pm for lego stock details? I've got a legomad 6.5yo

Lego gun stocks...
Sounds unique.
I will try to head over in the morning.

Your selling loaded mags at the show?

Lol. Range day :) No show for me.

Just saw this. Sorry I can't make it.

We're heading out of town for a couple of days.

Thanks for the invite.

I might try the show again tomorrow. I thought that I was pretty much over my bug, but I pulled into the parking garage and I felt the rumble in my stomach and knew I had to head home...fast!

Just holler when you get here.  Thanks for lunch.

It was awesome meeting you both. We'll do it again sometime.

It was good to meet you too.

I believe Market Hall is next weekend.

It is.  I hope it isn't as miserable as the last show they did.  It's not even listed in gunshows-usa.  They're bragging it's the largest show in Texas - it ain't.  It may have been @ one time.

My favorite show is Big Town.  Free parking, big show, good BBQ at Soulman's.  End of the month.

Was that you I met today? Good to meet you.

You coming down for it?

I'll probably go.  @ least the parking is free.

When you weren't looking, I snagged a S&W Sport upper - the Mk 1 w/ no FA & no port door - for $30.  Will probably make another stock demo gun out of it.

If I do it will be Sunday. Maybe we can get some of the old heads together for Mexican food and margaritas afterward.

I'm out. still quite busy with a kid this weekend

So send LadybirdJ.    Still waking up.  Be there this afternoon.

FW_wife just got back from grocery shopping and said it's slick out.  The middle girl was headed to work & saw 5 wrecks in 2 miles.  Will check road advisories before coming down.

Yeah, it's pretty slick. I had to run out for coffee and almost spun out. I'm not going to chance it.

Yeah, not much to be gained by hawking gun stock kits @ a show when there's nobody there, then spinning out on ice on the way home.

ETA:  Looking @ https://drivetexas.org/#/13/32.7384/-97.3417?future=false&resources=traffic, most of the highways leading to the show are icy.  Looks like I might could make it on surface streets, but probably not gonna chance it.

Any word on the *possible* ND we heard at the show yesterday? Still not 100% sure what that was.

No idea.  Haven't checked the Telegram.
