Who is going to the Puyallup gun show this weekend? I will be there on Saturday morning, and maybe part of Sunday.

Oh man, I WISH.

I used to go there when I was stationed at Ft. Lewis 15 years ago.

We got nothing even 10% as big here in the great semi-gunfree wilderness.[>Q]

I went last month. I think I'll pass tomorrow. It is 3.5 hr drive. Great show. The only thing I don't like is have to join the stupid association to buy a gun. It is a tax that I don't like paying.

I'll be there.

I don't mind the club fee in fact I greatly prefer it to paying $5 for every WAC show I go to.
I save a lot of money that way.

I'm going, but as a walker. Just for Saturday. From what I've heard, it's going to be a small show, as lots of vendors have decided not to attend.

I heard it is going to be bigger than the Monroe show.
I'll be there, I'll have a Yamaha t-shirt and shorts on. I'll be draggin around an Oly M4gery (Oly did some work to my upper, I pick it up Saturday).
I am looking for a 22 revolver in good shape, inexpensive and a tactical (is there any other kind) black leg holster. The Blackhawk looks good.

Yep, I better go. I made a agreement with a dealer via email and promised to meet him there to close the sale.

BTW, I'm the guy with that annoying blue stroller.

I'd be interested in going there this Sunday if someone wants to hook up. Drop me a line: [email][email protected][/email]

Any bulk ammo sellers I should look for first? Want to get a couple thousand 223.

I'm going whitewater rafting up near Index in the morning. With all the runoff from the snowpack, supposed to be some pretty wild water right now. Lot of Class 5 stuff.

I'll be there in my BDU bottoms, oil cans (combat boots) and some form of t-shirt (can't say what, but probably black). I'll spend a lot of time hanging around the entrance of the largest room on the end, as I know the holders of one of those tables. Its the one with all of the fine side-by-sides. Hope to see some of you there.

I thought his username was/is "Eric". I bought some mags from him a couple of years ago.

See any Spanish FR-8s there?

I was there from opening until about 3:30PM.
I brought in three, sold two, but found another three. I was supposed to be thinning out the collection!

I brought this home with me, and I practically stole it from the seller.

Nice gun Phil. I walked up to the table that had a nice Tarus .22 LR 8 in barrel about 30 seconds too late. Everything else was overpriced or junk. Some were even a combo of both.
No leg holster and I bought a rifle case that has the sling sewn on the the opposite sides, I didn't even notice it till I got home. Grrrrr!
At least the Miwall ammo chick is still tall, tan, and hot looking!

We had another appointment so we could only stay 15-20 minutes or so, but at least I picked up a sight adjustment kit for my Eddystone M1917.

I had a great weekend! I bought 13 mags, all USGI or Colt 20's and 30's, and I picked up an Armalite M15A4HBAR from a dealer for 825 out the door, with the scope mount coupon. My brother bought an Olympic/Colt/God Knows What Else A2HBAR pre-ban for cheap, we took it home and gave it a good look and its well put together and never fired.

I didn't see anybody I recognized, but I was at the show from 8AM to 1PM on Saturday, and 1-2 today. I was in the "education" hall, by the door to the large room, standing behind all of the fine shotguns.
