Sure, no problem. Actually, I think he's looking a next year's schedule. I'll see if I can dig it up. There's a website that lists the schedule of all the local gunshows. Not sure of the link.

Edited to add: Yep, looks like there's a show the weekend of Jan 3/4 2004.

I was thinking maybe keep it by Brother Nick's old tables, right next to the concession stand.

The aisle is wider there.

There's always a lot of folks standing around.

It's easier to find.

'Just look for the concession stand!'

What do y'all think?

 Hmm, on the end closer to Global Trades or the end towards Model 1?

 Sounds good to me.

Hello all. FNG here. I'll be making the drive up from Waco on Saturday morning with hopes to purchase an M-4 kit to keep my Rock River lower company. This will be my first AR.

Suggestions on which vendors to visit at the show? If I'm not successful, I plan to order a kit from J&T on Monday.

If not, Big Sapper needs to IM me some directions.

John has this posted on his Industry forum:
DPMS post-ban M4 upper, 16" 1:7 chromed lined barrel, includes charging handle,
and Cavalry Comp premanently installed, no bayonet lug.

www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=2&f=131&t=140829

He will probably have some at the show.

PS: I believe John knows how to remove the comp properly in case the ban sunsets...

My current client just informed me that his database server is down. I'm on call to restore/recover his database. That won't happen until he gets a hardware/network person in to troubleshoot what happened and repair the problem. My guess is I'll get a call sometime tomorrow morning-ish.

Recruit_Killer, give me a call. I IM'd my phone number to you. Or you can get it off the contact list.

Nope, we had a Thompson to sell. We thought about coming after we got it sold, but figured the party was probably over by then.

Keep an eye out for a future post by me, concerning a gathering.
