Sulphur Springs actually has gun shows?!
well, color me surprised... I may just have to check it out

Greenville too? The Bonham show is usually a pawn shop convention. Will Greenville be any different?

I"m told the Audie Murphy Museum show is very small.  I've never been, so I want to see it.

Whos going to the fort worth show this weekend?
Hoping to find an HK P30L

The Audie Murphy show in Greenville is usually pretty small, but is also usually well attended by many locals and lots of interesting stuff comes out of the woods.  Same way with Longview where i will be set up.  Longview will be 3-4 times the size i think, or at least the building seems so.  Heck, this is ARF.com!  Go to both this weekend!

RebleYell & tacton have tables.  I'm going Saturday afternoon, staying for dinner.  Might induce Motown_Steve & HenryKnoxFineBooks to join us.

I'm hoping to hit the Greenville show Sunday.

Where ate your tables?

I've sold all the guns I want to sell, so I'm waiting on an 01 FFL before I get any more.  RebelYell sells tactical medical equipment, w/ a big sign w/ a rabbit hanging off it, Fuzzy Bunny Tactical.  tacton typically has 2 or 3 tables, covered in genuine Colt & FN AR bits.

Any idea if Rare Breed is at the Fort Worth show?  They were apparently set up at the last couple.  I need to talk to them for a thing.

The Boy and I are hitting Greenville in the morning (won't take long, but as said, locals set up, stuff out of wood work sometimes...),then will head down the road to Sulphur Springs, will post AAR...

Please do.  I'm a bit under the weather, don't know if I'll make dinner tomorrow.  Waiting to hear back from RebleYell, dinner likely Flying Fish on Montgomery just south of I-30.

I made it to longview and set up, but noticed the clear skies from yesterday are GONE!  Everyone be careful wherever you are, looks like this hurricane is getting closer.

I just left and didn't notice them, but wasn't looking for them to have a setup, it was my 1sr time to this show.  I didn't notice any FRT triggers walking around.

OK, AAR for Greenville and Sulfur Springs...

Greenville was, as last year, relatively tiny...BUT for us, it was good, a fair amount of military stuff. Picked up an Enfield grenade launching cup, 2 USN MK I knives, 1 Camillus, 1 PAL, and a nice repro WWI German sling to go onto one of my WWI 98's. A ppsh sling for the boys ppsh, he picked up a nice Swede Navy marked bayo and frog, and a couple of sealed bottom grenades, an M26 and M67...cool, since they have solid bottoms like actual grenade bodies...an interesting little show. There was an Uzi in the room to the right, but I didn't check the price...at least there was some different stuff from the usual Premier show with the same people set up. Worth the drive for me...

The Sulfur Springs show, meh, it was a bust for me. About twice, 2 1/2 times the size of Greenville, but all modern and Fudd stuff, which does nothing for me. One guy had some military stuff on his table, but his prices were stupid. There was a cool G3 with a scope set-up...but figured the price would be stupid, so didn't look. If you are fairly close and like modern/hunting stuff may be worthwhile...again, different vendors than what you normally see around DFW.

I  ran into my buddy Matt at Greenville, he had like 4 tables (all military), he will be putting on a new show, Militaria/Gun, in Lufkin in January....I will likely get 4 tables at that show since it will draw a heavy militaria crowd. Also talked and will be doing Tulsa with him in November, so looking forward to that!

Dinner Longview - The Butcher's Shop - check w/ jeffb1911

Dinner Fort Worth -

Flying Fish, 2913 Montgomery St. Ft. Worth

Time both locations 5:30

See you at the Flying Fish

If anyone wants to head to Greenville in the morning, post up & what general part of town you're in, might be able to pick you up.  Worst case, have a lawn chair & some rope handy, we'll get you there.

Let's all welcome Michelle, promoter of Premier Gunshows, who let me know today she reads this little blog.  Hopefully she'll drop us a line on her future plans for Mesquite.  Maybe one of these days she'll turn up to dinner.

What's the address of the show?

Contact information for every promoter I know of is in the OP at the top of Page 1.  Promoters are listed to the right of the town the show is in or nearest to, under the dates of the show.

The Audie Murphy/American Cotton Museum is sponsoring a Militaria & Gun Show Saturday and Sunday at the Fletcher Warren Civic Center,  5501 South Business Highway 69 in Greenville.
Admission $5 hours 10-4pm

Cheers, b/c I was gonna drive straight to the museum.

My AAR for Greenville - picked up a weathered very dark M1 carbine stock - $20, used cheapie rail mountable green laser - $5, daylight bright to 50 yds, tested it outside on the golf course grass.  Saw an Anderson AR (scoped) for $1900.  You read that correctly.  Next table over had an AR for $700.  Prices were generally $100 over FW, some higher than that.  Half empty ammo boxes on some tables - sometimes w/ mixed calibers, priced & marked appropriately.  Lots of bayonets.  Prices were all over the map, as illustrated.  2nd day @ the show, and prices hadn't adjusted for the guy next to them.

Very small, I would suggest going on Saturday & getting a look @ the Audie Murphy museum.  I probably won't go again as a punter unless there happens to be another show in the area, but glad to finally see it.

ETA:  We lunched at TaMolly's, quite decent & inexpensive TexMex.  Lunch specials good on Sundays.  Get there early as they were packed even before the Baptists let out.

You didn't run down 30 to Sulfur Springs?

My buddy Matt had some really nice milsurps at his tables, including a very scarce Hungarian 35M...$1100 was pretty reasonable for it if you want one. His is a "C" block, around 1940 production, mine is an "A" block, around 1937 production. I found mine on a neighbors table about 15 years ago for $250...

What were you thinking for the 10th, drive down to Waco to check that one out?

Sulphur Springs would've added an hour round trip, & I have a lawnmower to fix.

Yep, on the 10th, drive down to Waco, think it's on the NW side,  and 35 is under construction in town.  It's an amazing show for the size.  I'm gonna hit Poolville the morning of the 11th, they always schedule it opposite Mesquite Big Town, but Big Town is closed @ the moment, so...

On the 4th, I'd like us to do a gun show marathon, 3 shows in one day.  Thinking starting in Waco, early lunch in Waco or the Dove's Next in Waxahachie, then the Waxahachie show, finish up in Glen Rose.  Anyone have an alternate order or restaurants?

That reminded me of some of the shows in Sherman or Bonham over the years. I took my Garand in for a buddy of mine to look over. (42 receiver, 53 barrel, gauged 2nd 2)  I didn't think the two guys at the door were going to give it back to me. Every dealer in there knew what was in the case but nobody made an offer.

I count 29 gun shows from now til the end of November, including Tulsa, across 13 weekends.  Even w/o Mesquite Big Town, we're averaging 2+ shows per weekend in North Texas.

I just rolled into Waxahachie earlier this week for work, my hotel is right down the street from the Civic Center. Going to have to see what a TX gun show looks like these days.

Glad you're here!  Want to join our marathon Saturday?

Thanks for the offer, that would be cool if I'm off. As of right now I'm on standby but that can change any day.

4-5 September
Glen Rose - Whipp Farm - this is just a ways down 67 from Waxahachie
Waco - Real Texas
Waxahachie - Premier - tacton has a table.  - Remember 287 is under construction south of Midlothian.

Planning a gun show marathon this next Saturday - we have a nice, relatively tight triangle, so if we leave early Saturday morning, we can catch all 3 shows in one day.  Please post up if there's a particular time you can make a show or join us for a meal, we'll try to adjust as needed.

Any suggestions, post up.  Unfortunately, 287 is still under construction between Midlothian & Waxahachie, which no matter what we do is gonna slow us down, so I've figured in a little extra time there.  They're also still working on 35 right through Waco, which could back up to the north a bit, so we have to add some time there.

HenryKnoxFineBooks is in for the Gunshow Krawl, Motown_Steve will join us fer lunch at The Dove's Nest.  The more the merrier!

We need suggestions for breakfast in Glen Rose @M35ben & dinner in Waco.

I have no idea

@wolfjflywheel

@Raider14, got any dinner location suggestions?

LOL sounds like a great time!   Might be a rent a stripper pole style party bus for the day kinda time.

About the only thing in Glen Rose for breakfast is Debbie’s restaurant, 2 donut shops and a Mexican place next to Dairy Queen.  All on the highway

Yer the ammo dealer, Imma gonna let you handle them details.  Keep us posted.  

Which one you gonna be @?

George's is always my first suggestion (where we met to show off my AR) but Kim's Diner is less than two blocks from Lee Lockwood and is very very good (no beer tho IIRC). If you're in the mood for Mexican Hecho en Waco is down by the river and is very good and there's always La Fiesta, Ninfas, and Trujillo's (one of my favorites). For seafood it's a tossup for me between Tejun and Friday's, both are excellent (that being said I'm a Cajun and fried fish kinda guy). There is a ton of new stuff downtown tho and plenty of food trucks but it'll be busy with all the Magnolia crowd

Oh and Waco Drive pro tip: depending on where y'all get dinner of course but it you end up taking Waco Drive back north towards I35 to head home just be sure to take the turn for Business 77/New Dallas Highway before the overpass and follow it all the way north, you'll eventually pop out just south of Elm Mott next to that big Road Ranger and you'll avoid all the really congested intersections. For those who haven't taken an I35 expedition through Waco in the last few years the construction has really screwed up anything that passes under it from loop 340 down to Valley Mills Dr.

ETA: honestly with weekend + holiday traffic I'd actually do the reverse of that and just dodge the construction all together, that's how I'll make my way to the show provided nothing comes up

backbencher, I might just make lunch on Saturday.  I'm a definite maybe.

How are AR15 lower prices these days?  I want to build a couple pistol lowers, but I'm willing to wait if prices are still outrageous.

Polymer 80%s were $87 last weekend.  I'd check online - I was able to pick up 3X Andersons for $50/ea from a site sponsor a few weeks ago.

Complete guns have come down to reasonable levels - next to the $1900 Anderson I saw in Greenville was a $700ish parts gun.

Looks like Debbie's Restaurant, 1102 NE Big Bend Trl it is.

I'm a maybe to meet in Waxahachie, and go to Whacko.
