| I was wondering if there are any good gun shows in Washington? Somewhere near the Snohomish county. I'm hankering for some bargaining on supplies ;) |
|
Is Monroe close enough? These guys run the biggest shows in Western WA WAC |
Yes  The only thing they are good for are whats been listed, and buying ammo for the same price you would pay shipped, plus tax, right before you hit the range. |
Like I need more targets for when I go to the range.... |

The gun show here in the Tri-Cities was disappointing too excluding the part about being able to talk reloading with the guys there. Also they had PMC .223 for 315 per 1000, I would have bought some, but I had just ordered some online for a tad less. Probably 50 or fewer dealers at the show. |

I really need to get me one of those. |

Sounds like there's not really much going on for gun shows here.. hit or miss on the savings.. That's too bad. Less than 50 tables.. I remember the good old days when they filled multiple auditoriums. Vancouver is way too far from.. don't want to drive 3 hours south. Puyallup is more doable, but if they're not cheap in price.. probably could have saved money on gas towards shipping and handling. Thanks for the info. BTW what's Bud's and Gilberts? Are they local stores? |
Can't recall ever going to a "huge" show in WA myself. Monroe is 100+ tables, assuming the vendors bothered coming. Its really turning into a "Saturday only" show as by 1 on Sunday the show's over. Deals are hit or miss, you go to go and see whats out there. Go early and bring cash, if you want a gun at a WAC show you need to be a member to buy or sell firearms, gets you in free as well HOWEVER if you go and discover the show sucks and dont plan to go back your membership is wasted  Bud's is a large dealer in KY, think Gilberts is in OK. HTH |
Some of us havent changed our prices, we just got sick of hanging out on Sundays. And paying table rent.

Wow.. I didn't realize Monroe is that close. Only 25 minutes away. Might want to check out that show.. Hope it has good deals... I just noticed that's there's a show this weekend... How good is that show? |
