Please note:  We have a particular issue in catching cancelled shows, especially when a promoter or listing site doesn't or can't update their website.  If you know a show has been cancelled, please post up or drop us a line so we can remove it from the schedule and save someone a long drive with Biden's gas prices.  If you're wondering what shows are listed, our box runs from Abilene to Bossier City, LA, and from the Red River to Waco.  We also include the biannual Tulsa show, as well as SHOT.  Notably, we do not post shows south of Waco in the Temple/Fort Hood area - unless there are no north Texas shows scheduled that weekend.  We are blessed in north Texas w/ active Promoters, so happily we have very few open weekends.

It's supposed to be colder on Sunday, so I might go Sunday. I haven't gone shooting in weeks, so I might want to take advantage of the warmer weather tomorrow.

The Sinister and I made up 3 Mk8 kits, so I'll be there tomorrow wandering around.  Will bring him Sunday morning and we'll go to lunch.

Borrowing his left-hand .22" LR upper for my demo "gun" on a dark green EP Armory 80% lower, w/ the multi-colored Mk8 prototype on it.

That's a valid point.

Saturday might be a better idea.

If backbencher is going in the afternoon, then I can to the Winchester Gun Range in the AM and then head to the show.

Anyone want to meet at King Tut in Ft Worth, maybe around noon or so and then head to the show?

Lol.  I'm selling my Lego rifle stock kits at this show.  There won't be a line.  Fort Worth shows tend to be pretty good, albeit they're a little smaller under Trump.  Picked up a rusted #4 last show for $35.

Just saw this. Sorry I can't make it.

We're heading out of town for a couple of days.

Thanks for the invite.

I might try the show again tomorrow. I thought that I was pretty much over my bug, but I pulled into the parking garage and I felt the rumble in my stomach and knew I had to head home...fast!

It is.  I hope it isn't as miserable as the last show they did.  It's not even listed in gunshows-usa.  They're bragging it's the largest show in Texas - it ain't.  It may have been @ one time.

My favorite show is Big Town.  Free parking, big show, good BBQ at Soulman's.  End of the month.

I'll probably go.  @ least the parking is free.

When you weren't looking, I snagged a S&W Sport upper - the Mk 1 w/ no FA & no port door - for $30.  Will probably make another stock demo gun out of it.

If I do it will be Sunday. Maybe we can get some of the old heads together for Mexican food and margaritas afterward.

FW_wife just got back from grocery shopping and said it's slick out.  The middle girl was headed to work & saw 5 wrecks in 2 miles.  Will check road advisories before coming down.

Yeah, it's pretty slick. I had to run out for coffee and almost spun out. I'm not going to chance it.

Yeah, not much to be gained by hawking gun stock kits @ a show when there's nobody there, then spinning out on ice on the way home.

ETA:  Looking @ https://drivetexas.org/#/13/32.7384/-97.3417?future=false&resources=traffic, most of the highways leading to the show are icy.  Looks like I might could make it on surface streets, but probably not gonna chance it.

Any word on the *possible* ND we heard at the show yesterday? Still not 100% sure what that was.

No idea.  Haven't checked the Telegram.
