[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Do you take guns to gun shows when trying to find/fit parts?

Posted: 12/11/2003 5:13:35 AM EDT

I put a Daniel Defense tube on my M4-gery last night. The tube is SO cool. However, I screwed up my front sight tower in the process. The damn taper pins just would NOT come out. (There’s a thread about it in the Build It Yourself forum if you care to read more about my problems.)

So, I’m shopping for a front sight tower and was thinking about bringing the rifle to the Eastman show this weekend. You guys ever do that; walk guns around if you’re looking for something for it?

yeah, but after 4 hours of mulling around, that gun gets HEAVY!

Leaving it in your car during the festivities isn't always a great idea.... I'm sure theives lurk in bushes waiting on someone to drop something off so they can help themselves, rat bastards.

Looks like I'll be at this show.. gotta fondle some Kimbers before I buy.

Thanks, reject.

i suffer from the same paranoia. what better place for a thief to lurk in the shrubbery than a gunshow.

Did you know you can break a car window silently with a torch? I have heard you can, never tried it.

Did you know that you can drink urine because it is sanitary? I have heard you can, never tried it.

I've filled two letters of our favorite alphabet group when going to gunshows. Now if I could only remember to bring the gun next time.............. J/K. Yes i have brought firearms to gunshows several times looking for parts.

bookhound,

was nice to meet ya,

got dressed to do some restoration work on the house, but made it to the show for a while looking like a dirtbag, wear a shirt and tie, have a company car, sit behind a computer all day talking on the phone-yuppie with a badge!

what was the outcome of your new front sight assy endeavor?

let me know, curious, and if you ever want to ditch that DD rail, i'm interested,

Nice meeting you also. Like I thought, I ended up toting that upper around all day without finding anything suitable. The best I found was a gas block that fit, but the vendor had no clue who made it. I'll be ordering the Armalite block today. Better to play it safe and go with a name brand.

Any luck selling the PWA? Looked nice and I thought hard about it, but I'm saving for some other toys that are high on the priority list.

Take care.
