This coming weekend, Jan 17-18, there are THREE gunshows in Iowa.  Boone, Hampton, and Maquoketa.

I know nothing of the Hampton show or its promoter.  Haven't been to the Boone show in some time, it was always a bust in the past.  Maquoketa is probably the best of the small shows. but Saturday is typically packed to the gills.

I might head over to the Boone show since it's so close. Let me know if you want to go.

That gives me an idea. I'd be happy to carpool since there are a few of us in/around Ames.

It's only 60 miles or so, but a penny saved...

Is anyone here going to the Maquoketa show?  I'm going to try and make it, not sure when though.

Also thinking about the Boone show- last time I was there (the last one they had there) they had some real good prices on general firearms.

Maybe we need a Boone Gunshow GTG.

I used to work for a farmer in Boone, but never spent much time downtown (aka none).

Is the show open Friday night like the DSM show? If not, we could do a Sunday GTG.

Well, I met Bob there. We were both buying lowers and he started talking about how the M&P's were being made in-house and turned to him and asked him if he was on arfcom...lol

I snagged the last AP lower. It was a bit pricy, but not horrible. Going to pick up a superior at the DSM show most likely.

Also, my LPK's showed up tonight. So my pistol build will be good-to-go except for the rail.

Damnit, Ron!

Met  Sam there we both bought lowers, otherwise its not really great but if your looking for something specific ask me. Picked up a lower (paid a bit more then I wanted, but it does have the pretty S&W rollmark )

My fault for procrastinating. I fell ass backwards into some graduation money. Trying to spend it on 'responsible' things...hah!

I was kind of hoping the SHOT show would produce some cool stuff that would actually come out in the next few months.
