I think that the Mesquite Big Town Gun Show is the next good one and it's this next weekend, February 8 & 9!

Someone had mentioned on another thread that there was a gun show in DFW this weekend, but I think they just got their calendar mixed up a bit!

If there is one, it must not be a very large one.

 First weekend of Feb is in Tyler.  Too far for me.  

Next one in Mesquite is the 8th and 9th.  I plan to be at Mesquite to buy another lower and whatever $400 more will get me.  Maybe a M44 Carbine, or a shotgun, or a .45-70, maybe lots of magazines, maybe a set of long horns for the front of my truck.....just haven't decided.

Thanks guys.  Wayne, you are correct (naturaly) about my original information.  I think I did get the idea there was one this weekend from another thread. Oh, well, guess I won't get to go (unless I can drag my dad along... hmmm)

Well, y'all know that next weekend there is a Mesquite Big Town Gun Show!

Is the Big Town show any good? I need 2 lower parts kits and a 20 upper and this weekend actually works for me..

Thanks, Ropes

While it's no 'Market Hall' Gun Show, it is a very well-stocked event!

You need to go to see if you can find those needed parts, and, well, to meet all your friends!

 Normally, there are 4 dealers at the Big Town show that have lowers and lower kits.  One just does Oly stuff, K-2 does DPMS, Homeland Defence just does RRA, Lonestar Wholesale sells stuff from different manufacturers (I don't know if the components are "name brand" though).
 It's usually a good idea to call one of the dealers a few days in advance and tell them what you need to they'll have it for you at the show.

I think I will wing it - the tulsa show is coming up and I will be there.

I have three cavarms lowers to complete and I am in no hurry. The tactical applications of a blue or glow in the dark AR is limited after all.

Anyone else going?

I'm in. I need some .223's. This weekend depleted my reserves big time.
Meet at the same time for lunch?

I will be there. If all goes well with my interview on Friday(damn 3rd interview can you believe that crap. Its not like they're going to be paying me a boat load of money ), I will be on the hunt for a pre-ban AR, another AK and an SKS to replace the one I sold. Otherwise, I will just be joining you guys for lunch and having water and bread. [>(]

Yes, let's all meet same time, same place:

Brother Nick's tables (he loves it, you know)

At 12:00 Noon.

We go to....Angelo's

(Just kidding, Energizer!)

We go wherever we damn well please - but my vote is for On The Border, as usual!

It's the margaritas, guys, you know I'm addicted!

Stand at the Front Door looking into the Main Room.

On your Left you will see a wall that separates the Main Room from the North Room, which is the smaller room that you leave the Gun Show through.

Go all the way down that Left Wall in the Main Room until you are three rows away from the Back Wall.

There at the Northern-most 'end cap' will be long-haired, blonde Brother Nick and, most likely, the Hun!

Please, no autographs.

If all else fails, just pay for a 'page' and have the AR-15.com Crew paged to meet you at the front door, or whatever.

You should have no problem finding us!

Eric The(Helpful)Hun

(OK, just one autograph, for you only!)

so now we know haw the hun got so many posts.  double taps.

And, if you're gonna page anyone, you page Mr the Hun, or Eric the Hun,  He gets a kick out of it.

Dn't know if I can make it, Father visiting town this weekend.  I'll see if he's up for a show.

I think me and the wife are coming if we can find someone who will babysit our heathen kids.

I have a dilema, though.....I only have $600....well $500 to spend... (I gotta allow for On The Border Beer Fund).

I really want to come home with one out of the following:

FAL

.22LR (10/22?)

Glock 10mm

AR (yeah right...for $500???)

I think I am up shit creek....doubtful I can find anything but the .22 in that price range.  I really need the Glock, but want a rifle....I just cain't take the presshur!!!!!!

What a delema.   the weather is going to be crappy this weekend.  Which means no flying, which means no money.  So i could go, but i dont have any money to spend.  Also my truck needs new tires really bad.

No worries.
I just had to prod you at least once!

I traded it to a pawn shop for one of my Baby Eagles.
I came out better in the end.

And it was my own damn fault for buying a Tec9 without
listening to everyone about it.

Prod away all you like, but if you seriously werent happy let me know I will make it right. Atleast let me buy you a lap dance..

You know I don't care what anyone says about the Tec9. All I know is that the state of CA says I couldn't have one. So you know what??? I want one. You wouldn't happen to be selling one real cheap are you???

Hell no!
I dump it in two weeks after I bought it.
You don't own a boat do you ?
Hell they don't even make good anchors.
I haven't heard of anyone having a good one.
If you wanna waste your money, buy me some ammo at the show.

 For the 2 or 3 that were outside with me at the Mesquite show on the 8th.  The AR that my friend had, after I checked, was an Essential Arms with pre-ban upper and 2 position collapsable stock.

  Now the sad part.  He traded a $250 AK for it, straight trade.
